TEASER TUESDAY: Katie L. Thompson

Welcome to another installment of TEASER TUESDAY. I'm excited to have the lovely Katie Thompson here with us again today. She'll be sharing an excerpt from her novel, CAMERON. 


~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:
“What are you day dreaming about?” Megan was at his side.
“Oh, nothing.”
“Is that the same nothing you’ve been thinking about all afternoon? You usually beat all of us at these card games. Today you’ve been absolutely pants.”
“I’ve been pants?” Max laughed.
“Dr. James says at four-to-five months old the foetus will start to respond to loud noises. Simon and I have decided not to use foul language in case the baby can hear.”
At this, Max laughed even more.
“She’s right, Maxwell. The foetus can hear everything you say.”
Max hadn’t noticed his mother enter the room again.
“There is tea and shortbread on the dining room table if anyone wants some,” she said, before walking back out of the room.
Max was still full from dinner, but he followed the others back into the dining room.
“How can you still be hungry?” Max stared at Megan as she tucked into her third bit of shortbread.
“It’s the baby.”
Max grunted. Even before the baby, Megan was known to eat everything in sight.
“Anyway, you never answered my question.”
“Question?” Max decided to play dumb.
“What, or should I say who, have you been day dreaming about all day?”
“It’s not important.”
“Oh, come on. Tell the pregnant woman what’s going on. I won’t tell anyone. I promise.”

Max had fallen for Megan’s promises once before. It was just as well it hadn’t been a very large secret, because it was no longer a secret ten minutes later.

BLURB:
With her sister, Daisy, about to get married Cameron Snowdon finds herself swamped with wedding preparation. However, not only does she not have time for a new man in her life, she doesn’t want one. After countless breakups Cameron decides to give up on men altogether. They just aren’t worth the hassle…

Cute, sexy and dependable are just some of the words that Cameron doesn’t want to use to describe Max Runacre, but she soon finds herself falling for the attractive man who is trying to capture her heart. Will Cameron stick to her original plan and give up on men or will she give Max a chance? And how far will she go to protect herself from the inevitable heartache?

TEASER TUESDAY: Katie L. Thompson

Welcome to another installment of TEASER TUESDAY. I'm excited to have the lovely Katie Thompson here with us today. It's been a while since she's visited, and today she'll be sharing an excerpt from her novel, DEATHLY WHITE. 

~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:
“My God that’s horrid.” Jamie took a step backwards. “Fancy being murdered on your wedding day. It’s meant to be the happiest day of your life.”
An arm of metal was clamped around the woman’s neck, her body dangled beneath, being pushed back and forth in the strong breeze. Her white dress billowed out around her, splattered with blood and dirt.
“Well, we know for sure she wasn’t killed using the gibbet. Half the parts are missing and these wounds on her neck and shoulder look more like stab wounds,” Carl spoke aloud as he wrote bits down in his notebook.
“Why go to the trouble of bringing a dead woman all the way up here? Anyone could have seen.”
Carl shrugged.
“There’s not much more we can do here,” Danny said. “Take the best photos you can, call someone to take her down to the morgue and see if you can find someone to identify what made those wounds. Jamie and I will go to the wedding, see what we can find out from there.”
The wedding reception looked more like a wake. It was clear from the second they walked through the door that everyone knew what had happened.
A deathly silence fell over the room as people noticed their presence.
“I’m Detective Sergeant Daniel Brookes and this is Detective Inspector Jamie Stanley. We are looking into the supposed death of Mrs Julie Leanne Hayes. Is Mr Hayes here? We’d like to speak to him.” Danny stood on the stage where half an hour earlier a band had been in full swing.
“He’s in the toilet. I don’t think this is the best time to speak to him. At least wait until he comes out.”
Danny nodded. “Well, is Bradley Stance here? We could do with talking to him too.”
Most faces looked blank but a few seemed to recognise the name.
“Haven’t seen him here,” one person shouted.
“Don’t think he was invited. Don’t know why he would’ve been,” someone said from the back of the hall.
“Not seem him for years,” a girl joined in.
“No one mentions him anymore,” a boy near the front of the stage said.
“I’m here,” Bradley shouted.

Everyone went silent and stared at Bradley. After a few seconds people started muttering to one another.

BLURB:
When a bride is stabbed to death on her wedding day, DI Jamie Stanley and the team are called in. They immediately pluck three suspects from the wedding party of over two hundred guests. Why would anyone want to kill a bride on her wedding day?
