Six Sentence Sunday: Sail To Italy

Thanks to everyone who commented last week! To get some resolution on the pink kitchen sponge, look at this page. Scroll to the bottom of the post to avoid other spoilers.

Here are some silly sentences from my upcoming YA adventure, Sail To Italy.

In this scene, Princess Noreena confronts the man she believes killed her father, then realizes that the culprit was someone else important in her life, whom she never suspected.

It all hit her like a herd of stampeding horses. First, the realization that she had never liked Repual, anyway, and then the horrible truth: that he had wanted her father dead.
She started to cry.
“Oh, don’t cry. Did you ever look at that man? How could a good guy be so vastly ugly?”

Sail To Italy is available for purchase in a Kindle edition as of April 18. Look for the sequel, Sail From Italy, April 19, or wait for the bargain bundle deal, April 20.

When you comment here, indicate whether you would like to participate in a drawing for a "free" pdf of both books in the delightful Sailing Italy series. "Free" is in quotes because I hope the winner will take a few minutes of her/his valuable time to put a review on Amazon or Goodreads. Drawing takes place April 20.

Note: this book is not for you if you're boring or unwonderful in any way.
