Per my contract, I can post the prologue and the first chapter, so that's what I'm going to do. Here they are. Enjoy!<br>
<b><br></b>
<b>Prologue: Unsettling News</b><br>
<spoiler><br></spoiler>
<spoiler>Nash rubbed his hands over his face and raked them through his spikey blond highlighted hair. </spoiler><br>
<spoiler><br></spoiler>
<spoiler>“Seriously, Sam,” he said as he plopped down on the sofa. “How can you stay so calm, with the wedding only a month away?”</spoiler><br>
<br>
“Isn’t that the wedding planner’s job? To do all the worrying for us?” But Sam knew better. Harley, their wedding planner, was also Nash’s best friend. Although abundantly competent, Harley was high strung and tended to run every little status detail by Nash.<br>
<br>
“He’s great, but no, worrying still falls under the grooms’ jurisdiction.” Nash’s grass green eyes twinkled as he heaved an exaggerated sigh and placed the back of his hand against his forehead in a teasing display of faux-dramatics. “I guess I’ll just have to agonize enough for both of us.”<br>
<br>
“No…” Sam grinned and leaned over to kiss Nash’s furrowed brow, then his nose, then finally his lips before coming up for air to add, “Nobody needs to worry. Or you can let my mother do it for us if you think someone must.”<br>
<br>
“Your mother is a peach. I adore your mother. Can I adopt her?”<br>
<br>
“She’s already unofficially adopted you.”<br>
<br>
“I think she’d love anybody who makes you happy.”<br>
<br>
Sam groaned softly. Of course she would. Nash had made his life enjoyable again, and his whole family loved Nash for it. Nash had heard the stories. “I put them through hell. Dark times. I’m so glad I met you.”<br>
<br>
The oven timer went off and Sam got up to check on the roasting chicken pieces. “It’s ready,” he hollered from the kitchen after pulling the pan out of the oven. “Will you pour the wine, hon?”<br>
<br>
“Just a sec. Someone’s at the door. Damn, I hope Harley hasn’t come up with something new to stress me out.”<br>
<br>
Sam opened a cabinet, pulled out two dinner plates, and began dishing up the roasted meat and vegetables. When he turned around, Nash was standing in the doorway with his eyebrows drawn tightly together. <br>
<br>
“Sam,” he hissed. “There are two military policemen at the door asking for you. What the fuck is going on?”<br>
<br>
“MPs? I have no idea. They didn’t say?”<br>
<br>
“No, they want to talk to you. They’re setting up a laptop computer out there.”<br>
<br>
Sam’s eyes widened. Why on earth would military police need to talk to him? Even if some piece of that fucking, fucking airplane had washed up at this late date, he doubted family would be pointedly notified, let alone paid a personal visit. No, it couldn’t have anything to do with that old tragedy.<br>
<br>
“I guess there’s only one way to find out.” He straightened his shoulders and walked to the living room. Hopefully he wasn’t about to be arrested for something he couldn’t even understand.<br>
<br>
“I’m Sam Greene, how can I help you gentlemen?”<br>
<br>
The two visitors glanced at each other, then the thinner man with the sharp nose and clear blue eyes clarified, “Samuel Miller-Greene?”<br>
<br>
“Well, yes, technically. I never changed it back after my husband died. I use the full name for signing documents. I just tend to shorten it these days for casual use.”<br>
<br>
The men shared another glance and seemed satisfied with that reply, giving each other barely perceptible nods. The man with the round face and warm brown eyes spoke. “I’m Major Johnson and this is Sergeant Rosings.” Sam nodded and they all shook hands. “May we all sit at your table here, Dr. Miller-Greene? We have some images to show you, and I think you’ll find this news rather unsettling.”<br>
<br>
Sam felt the blood drain from his face. Unsettling. That sounded like it might be a softer way of saying awful. He took a deep breath and asked, “May my fiancé join us? I get the feeling I’m going to want the moral support.”<br>
<br>
Major Johnson’s lips twitched a bit at the question, but he quickly recovered his composure and replied, “Of course.”<br>
<br>
Nash moved to Sam’s side, introduced himself, and they all sat down.<br>
<br>
Major Johnson cleared his throat, took a quick look at Nash, then returned his focus to Sam. “Dr. Miller-Greene, a discovery was made this morning during a drone training exercise in the Pacific.”<br>
<br>
Fucking hell. A “discovery” in the fucking Pacific Ocean. Apparently a grisly discovery rather than a simple chunk of fuselage to warrant a personal visit like this. Sam stiffened and felt Nash’s hand slip into his.<br>
<br>
Major Johnson continued. “Some people were spotted on a remote and insignificant island. They were determined through initial surveillance to be stranded there. When the drone descended to make itself known, the individuals communicated with it by writing in the sand. They identified themselves as survivors of the TransOceanic Flight 3012 plane crash and wrote out their names.”<br>
<br>
Sam sat rigidly and held his breath as Major Johnson paused. Survivors? Could it really be possible? These men wouldn’t be here making a personal visit to inform him, would they, unless…?<br>
<br>
“Dr. Miller-Greene, we’d appreciate it if you would give a positive identification of the man who indicated he was your husband, Henry.”<br>
<br>
Time seemed to stop as Sam stared into the man’s eyes, trying to comprehend what he’d been told. Nash’s hand crushed his.<br>
<br>
“Henry’s alive?” His voice broke with just those two words, and that’s all he was able to manage.<br>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I recently joined the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/RainbowSnippets" target="_blank">Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook</a>. From their description: "<i>Rainbow Snippets is a group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week to share six sentences from a work of fiction–a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation (no spoilers please!).</i>" Pretty cool, eh?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So here's my first contribution to the group. Six sentences from ’Til Death Do Us Part, my novel coming in April to JMS Books (More details on that, later). This snippet is from Chapter 1:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Whatever
was going to happen was going to happen. There wasn’t anything I could do to
change it, so I went back to thinking of Sam in an attempt to remain composed.
I figured my odds of survival were no longer as completely non-existent as
they’d been minutes ago, but they were still stacked against me, and dammit, I
was going to die with dignity.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I mentally reviewed my life with Sam and renewed my sad attempts at telepathy,
sending out apologies for things I regretted and would likely never be able to
correct or tell him in person. I sent out more declarations of love, and I
thought again about how Sam had been looking over my shoulder when I’d made my
seat selection and had pointed out the seat I now found myself sitting in. It
occurred to me that it was possible in these unique circumstances that his
phobia would actually save my life.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: center;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When Henry and Sam face an accidental estrangement, and Henry is assumed dead, can their love endure the trials of one’s fight for survival and the other’s new love interest? </span></span><br />

Sorry, I didn’t want to go without saying good-bye.”<BR><BR>Ed’s eyes flashed open. “Shit.” He sat up. “What time is it?”<BR><BR>“Uh, three o’clock. Sorry, I want to get there pretty early. Got a lot to do.”<BR><BR>Ed stood up. Jesus. No wonder it was so pitch dark. “Okay.” His brain was still foggy. He couldn’t think of the right words he knew he wanted to say. Damn, it would be days before he’d see Joe again. Shit, maybe a week. Or more.<BR><BR>He felt Joe’s hands on his shoulders, then Joe’s lips on his own. The kiss was tender and full of longing. Not wanting to let him go, Ed put his arms around Joe’s waist. The kiss broke way too soon. “Don’t go,” Ed whispered before his sluggish brain could catch up with his mouth. Shit.<BR><BR>Joe didn’t laugh, though, or even grin. Instead, he brought one hand up to cup Ed’s face before giving him a soft kiss. “I have to. Follow soon, Ed.”<BR><BR>“I will.”<BR><BR>“Promise?” Joe’s voice was husky.<BR><BR>Ed nodded. With his heart heavy, he knew he’d choke on any words he tried to speak.<BR><BR>Joe pulled back, and Ed let him go. Ed walked with him to the door. “Call me.”<BR><BR>Joe stared into his eyes before giving him one last quick kiss. “Every day.”<BR><BR>Ed worked up a little smile. Joe winked and turned to walk out to Ed’s little Escort. That was classic Joe -- practical and hardworking, with barely a hint of sentiment. And Ed missed him already. In less than a minute, Joe was out of sight. Ed slowly shut the door and leaned his forehead against the smooth wood. He felt empty. Cold and empty, and suddenly overwhelmed with emotion. He shuddered, fighting a tear that threatened to break free.<BR><BR>To hell with it. There were no witnesses, so he gave in and let go. Wet trails streamed down his face. Wondering how or when it had come to this, he bit his lip, salty with tears, and snuffled. What were they getting themselves into? This was way past the level where either of them could just walk away at the drop of a hat if they had a big argument. But that was good, wasn’t it? Joe had agreed they were partners and had been over-the-moon happy looking over the farm. If nothing else, he had Joe hooked with the farm.<BR><BR>His head ached, and he didn’t want to think about it anymore. He scrubbed his face with the palm of his hands and padded back to his lonely bed.</P><P align="center">* * * * *</P><P>All was quiet and peaceful on the farm when Joe pulled to a stop behind the house. He wanted to think about anything but Ed and the look on Ed’s face when he’d left home. Worse yet, he didn’t want to confront his own feelings as he’d pulled out of the driveway and fully grasped the knowledge that it would be days before he’d see Ed again.<BR><BR>He missed Ed acutely. Hell, he’d rather bottom for Ed every day for a week than live apart for a week. Joe smiled ruefully to himself. That was a thought he’d take to the grave with him. That and the fact he’d actually had to fight back tears as each minute had taken him farther away from Ed.<BR><BR>He tossed his bags in the house, grabbed a sandwich and some Gatorade, and headed out to the barn. He needed to take care of the horses and let them out to exercise in the pen. The dogs greeted him as he approached. He put out some food and fresh water for them before turning to the horses. He let them loose in the pen, filled their water trough, and gave them their morning ration of hay and oats. In the machine shed, he hooked the swather up behind the large tractor and headed out to the alfalfa field.</FONT></P><BR><P align="center"><img

I would also recommend, if you've signed up, but done little to nothing with it, that you get busy and update your author page and hopefully some book pages, too. Here's why:</font></p><p><font face="century schoolbook" size=3>They've started their advertising campaign and the traffic there is picking up. They are also taking steps to show up more prominently in search engines. Is it working? A comparison of yesterday's stats of <a href="http://addison-albright.tripod.com" target="_blank">my regular website</a> and my <a href="http://bookworld.editme.com/AddisonAlbright" target="_blank">GLBT Bookshelf Author Page</a> show the number of hits to be neck and neck for the first time. Previously my regular website has been hands down the winner, but yesterday it was a virtual tie. In fact, if you add in the hits to my individual book pages, the GLBT Bookshelf page won. So yeah, if you haven't taken the plunge yet, it's time.</font></p>Addison Albrighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12312474715024616907noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682116405844628232.post-47034152043499155352009-06-08T15:56:00.001-05:002009-06-08T15:56:59.213-05:00GLBT Bookshelf WikiI've been working on my pages at the new <a href="http://bookworld.editme.com/" target="_blank">GLBT Bookshelf Wiki</a>. It's pretty nifty. If you haven't checked it out yet, you should. It's pretty easy to navigate around, but obviously since it's new, it's very much still under construction. For my pages I think I've got my <a href="http://bookworld.editme.com/AddisonAlbright" target="_blank">author page</a> about how I want it. The individual book pages have the basics up for each story, and they're listed in the directories, but I'm still adding info. I'm in the process of putting up brief excerpts from some of the reviews (with linkage to the actual reviews, of course), and plan to either post, or link to, story excerpts. Maybe by the end of this week I'll pretty much have it how I want it. Knowing me, though, it'll forever be getting tweaked--just like <a href="http://addison-albright.tripod.com" target="_blank">my website</a>.Addison Albrighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12312474715024616907noreply@blogger.com0
