My first book is coming out next Wednesday. Here are 13 consecutive lines from it.

“Hey, Stud Muffin—what’s your name?” Miranda asked as if it didn’t matter that they were gossiping about him.
“Trigvey. Trigvey Taylor.” He threw the clothes in his arms over a suitcase.
“I’m Miranda. This is Suzie. And that…” Miranda arched a long-nailed finger, “is Diane.”
Diane cringed as everything from her toes to her ears went blush-hot.
“Nice to meet you…Diane?” He glanced at Diane, turned away and glanced at her again as if worried about what he saw in her expression. “Got to run.”
He left eight suitcases in varying shapes and colors behind him.

I love a good well packed sentence. I can only read 7 of them though.
I had the hardest time deciding how to count my sentences. I’m such a messy writer.
It sounds like a wonderful book, Alice.
