Missed Connections

Missed Connections

Kat Wilson is a woman content. Comfortable in her curvy body, a runner and a successful business owner, she doesn’t need a man. Having one in her life, however, isn’t such a bad idea. Nope, not a bad idea at all…especially after being saved from a drenching during a race by Eric Thompson.

Most men like their women model-thin. Not Eric. He likes a woman who is soft and curvaceous. He likes them exactly like Kat Wilson. Too bad she seems to want nothing to do with him. Imagine his surprise when he finds the ad she took out for him in a Missed Connections section of a website…or so he thinks…

Can the matchmaking skills of Kat’s best friend convince her Eric’s not just another toad, but the Prince Charming she never thought she needed?

Thirteen Reasons I’m Thrilled to be Writing Again.

1. I have a lot of ideas and it’s a great outlet for me.

2. It’s not a great income, but it’s a couple pairs of shoes, or meals out a night and it helps. Mine has been not has high because of no new books. I miss it.

3. It’s deeply satisfying to read that someone’s day was made better because you put the right words together.

4. I need peace to write. I have peace. The children are gone and the music is low and sweet. It’s magical for me.

5. It feels right to know how the flow of the book is to go and to watch it come out on paper.

6. I like the control of moving my characters towards the ending I enjoy. Other writers let the characters come alive, I make mine come alive. Different strokes.

7. They spill out of me. I’m prolific when I write. I can’t stop them, control the flow, nor do I want to. 10,000 words a day is not uncommon.

8. I love, love and growth and change. The evolution of my characters. They open like a lotus and it amazes me that I can write that. Capture it on paper. I’ve always wanted to paint, or draw and I cannot. Instead, I paint with words.

9. The world I inhabit melts away as I write.

10. I can get anger, jealousy, pain out with my words. It’s cheaper than my therapist.

11. Once my work is done, the book finished, I walk away. I never re-visit, only re-read for editing purposes. I’m not so wrapped up I cannot let go.

12. If a book is not working, I walk away. I never slog through the impossible. In real life, I tend to do that.

13. It brings a new aspect and fresh outlook to my world. I am re-born in my work. And to think, it only took me 42 years to figure out that I’m a writer.

Excerpt From Banking On Love

By liedele | September 9, 2008

Banking On Love
Nancy Lindquist
Copyright 2008 Lyrical Press, Inc.

“His father smiled. “Nice to see you too, dear. Now, at the risk of repeating myself, what the hell are you doing dragging this poor woman in here? Want me to clear out so you can chase her around the desk?”

Mortified. That was a good word for the feeling that rose in Blake’s stomach and poured out over his body.

He looked over at Amy, expecting her to be humiliated. Instead, she laughed. “Do people even do that anymore? I thought it went out with the advent of sexual harassment lawsuits.

Blake looked back at his father, expecting an explosion. His father barked out a laugh and slapped Amy on the back so hard she wobbled in place. So much for Blake’s assessment of human nature.

“There’s a remote possibility that Amy might have won the Mega Millions Jackpot.”

His father gave Amy a stern look. “Really? You can’t be sure about that?”

Blake rolled his eyes. “No, of course we aren’t sure, Dad. If we were sure, she’d be on a plane to Tahiti right about now.”

“You don’t have to be obnoxious. Just let me make a few phone calls…”

Blake held up his hand. “Oh no, you’ll be on the phone all day to your golf buddies trying to get someone to call someone who will, in turn, call someone else. I think the internet is the way to go this time.”

Blake’s dad waved his hand in front of his face. “Bah, crap computers. They’re taking the personal interaction right out of banking. Online bill pay. What a bunch of shit.”

“Be that as it may, I think we’re stuck with it.” Blake sat down at his desk and began to type. “Okay, here’s the website. You got your ticket, Amy?”

She fished around in her pocket, nodded and pulled out the square scrap of paper. He saw her fingers shaking as she held it. She’d had a hell of a morning. She needed comfort. He fought the urge to pull her into his arms.

“Here we go. It says there was a single winner.” Amy looked a little gray. “I’m gonna give you the numbers in order of lowest to highest. You tell me if you have any of them.”

He had a momentary vision of her naked on a beach somewhere, the ocean pounding the shore like he wanted to… He shook his head and tried to concentrate on the screen.

“Ready? Eight, seventeen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty-nine, forty-eight, and the Mega Ball number is ten.” He looked up. “Well?”

Amy’s face had gone white, especially around her lips. Green eyes huge, her mouth opened, then closed. A tear trickled down one soft cheek. “Um, Blake, I think I won.” She rocked forward then back, and dropped to the floor in a heap.

By liedele | December 27, 2007

There are a lot of things I want to do before I cross the great divide. There are also several things I am happy to never do. It’s not that I don’t have a sense of adventure, I do. I love life, but there are some things I don’t need to do and I’m glad I’ve figured that out, before I let someone talk me into it.

1. I don’t need to jump off anything big, with a parachute, a rubber band, or anything else tied to me.

I’m scared of heights and I see no reason to bother to get over that phobia. I can find no compelling reason to fix it.

2. I don’t need to eat bugs, organ meat, or a large rodent.

You won’t see me on Survivor choking down a raw fermented rat with bugs on it. Ain’t gonna happen.

3. I do not need, nor want, a near death experience.

Dead’s a long time. I don’t need a preview of the event.

4. I have no desire to sail around the world in a sailboat.

I’ll take a large ship with a swimming pool, a captain, adult beverages and odd dinner companions, but I’m not about to do it without all of the above.

5. I don’t need to look like I’m eighteen again.

I would not rule out plastic surgery, but bras fix, what I can’t afford and I like some of my wrinkles. Not all of them, mind you. I can stop aging now and be happy.

6. I don’t need a another, “time of the month.”

For something I used to desperately want, it’s extremely over-rated.

7. I never need to change another diaper.

Do you hear me kids? Get going on this potty training thing. Move it.

8. I don’t need to be famous.

Yes, I’d like to sell a lot of books. Every author loves that idea, but I don’t need my face printed on the back of them. I never want someone trying to sneak up to my house and root through my trash to find out what food I’m eating that keeps me too fat.

9. I don’t need to be thin.

I’m not thrilled with my weight. I could lose some, but my marathon next fall will help with that.

10. I don’t need to go a lot of places.

Sure, there are a lot of places I long to visit, but I may not get to all of them and I am happy with that. I accept that I will not see one thousand places before I die, without the benefit of a Mega Millions win.

11. I don’t need to see space.

There is enough of it in my head. I would not, even if I could, pay for the experience of having a rocket strapped to my butt and being flung out of earth’s gravitational field. I like Terra firma.

12. I would prefer not to go wreck diving.

I dive. I won’t dive in a wreck. I’ve already had a close encounter with a moray eel. I’m over that.

13. I don’t need to be rich.

Money would be nice. I would like it, but if I never get rich, I’m okay with that. I’m not about to give up family time in pursuit of wealth. If it’s money, or kids, I’ll take kids. Maybe not the gray hair, but the kids.

Thirteen Things About Me.

1. I’m very  black, or white. Learning to walk in the gray and accept it, has been hard for me.

2. I have a hard time forgiving myself.

3. I like the smell of puppy breath.

4. The sound of rain on the roof is joyous to me.

5. Climbing into bed, with clean sheets, and a snuggly husband is the best part of my life.

6. I want to be one of those women who grows her own food and cans her own vegetables, but I’m a lousy gardener.

7. Scent triggers more memories for me, than any other sense.

8. I love to cook for my family, but not breakfast. They eat cereal in the morning.

9. My home was never complete, until a cat shared it with us.

10. I put a lot of energy into creating menus each week, but never follow them to the letter.

11. My mom always made me keep my hair very short when I was growing up. I am now trying to grow it to my waist, because I can.

12. I collect cookbooks, and read them like novels. See, told you I was into cooking.

13. I like to be awake for the sunrise each day.
