Hi there!
Today on Author Spotlight, I have the distinct pleasure of introducing you to Faith Simone. Faith and I, as with a lot of my writer friends, ‘met’ over the world wide web. She was reading When You Let Go and I was was thrilled and humbled at her review of my work. From there a budding acquaintance began as they say the rest is history. She blogs at All Things Written To Encourage & Inspire and is stopping by today to share her debut novel. Woot! Woot! It is such an achievement to pen a novel and put it into the world for all the read. Let me stop rambling and get to it.

When The Real Thing Comes Along
Excerpt:
My eyes were wide open the night I invited Taylor into my life. It was at the end of one of those parties that starts out with what seems like hundreds of people, but turns mellow before midnight. I was ready to go but my best friend, Kim, wasn’t. She was trying to finalize the hook up with a guy from her history class. Meanwhile, I was waiting on a ratty couch in the dark living room with a guy I knew I would never see again, wishing that I was at home watching Lifetime movies. That’s when I saw him.
He walked past me through the sliding glass doors into the backyard. Something about the gracefulness of his long strides, made me get up and follow him while the guy on the couch was still running his mouth.
The sound of Usher singing about how to tell if you got it bad muffled to a slow thumping bass as I closed the patio doors behind me. I waved away the sweet smell of weed as I stepped around a few people smoking and lounging on the mismatched patio furniture.
I trailed him across the large backyard where the only sound was the loud swishing of the dozen or so palm trees waltzing in the fall winds. Both of our steps were silent in the soft mushy grass. I felt strange following him without saying anything, but I wanted him to sense me behind him. I wanted to know if the crazy magnetism I was feeling was working on him too. But there was a different force drawing him that night. One that I would contend with at a later time, in another place, with a lot more to lose.
