Hello stranger

Wednesday, November 6, 2013.

 It's that day of the week again--time for the Hump Day Hook blog hop. This one's for November the 6th. The weather's turned dreary out here on the west coast of Canada, and I've been happily working on my latest series, which takes place in the deserts of Syria, Jordan and Egypt.

Hump Day Hook is a blog hop where authors post a tempting little piece of their work in the hope of catching a reader's eye.

This week I'm sharing a few lines of my soon-to-released erotic romance, Tracking Tor. Book One is titled Mirage, and in this scene, our protagonist Julie first sees the man who will capture her heart. But he disappears so quickly she wonders if she's hallucinating.

She's having dinner in a restaurant in the desert city of Palmyra, Syria when her attention is distracted by a dusty motorcycle parked across the street...

Here's the excerpt:

 As dusty as his BMW, the rider wore a red and black padded jacket, black riding pants and heavy black leather boots. Looking every inch a true road warrior, he strode out of the hotel adjacent to the restaurant and threw a leg over the bike. He was tall, with wide shoulders and strongly-muscled legs. His long hair was light brown, almost blonde, and tied back with a thin piece of cord.
  Julie had only a glimpse of his face before he pulled on his helmet. Handsome, clean cut but
rugged--a fascinating combination. He was just her type, she thought as she watched him start the engine and drive off with a roar.
  Wouldn't he be perfect? Just what I need to get my mind off Richard fucking Wakeman.
  She didn't want to be this far from home and still be thinking about her ex.

Remember that this is a blog hop, so hop on over to the other participants here.
