Where else to start? With introductions! I don't have a firm date for my new female domination novel to be published by Pink Flamingo. Probably September, around ten weeks away, so I thought it would be fun to do a countdown by posting favorite moments from my first Pink Flamingo novel, Courting Her, published in June 2010.
These won't be ranked in order because I would feel bad choosing among them, and I've also eliminated a few favorite moments that would potentially spoil the story for people interested in reading it on their own. Here Alex sees Kimberly sitting in a coffee shop, approaches her, and earns an opportunity to sit at her table. When she leaves Alex asks if he can "get her number." Kimberly tells him to try that again.
"I would like to call you sometime. Could I have your number?" When she didn't respond after several seconds, he added, "Please?"
Kimberly reopened her notebook, fanned to the back and wrote. She tore the sheet out and handed it across. In fluid, flawless cursive, she had written: 'Kim,' her number, and 'Call tonight at 7:00.'
Alex read the message then looked up at her. "I will." As she stood, Alex rose to a bow. Lifting a black, shiny backpack, she slid her notebook inside and, feeding her arms through the straps, hoisted the pack onto her shoulders. She came around the table, smiling at him. When Alex said "goodbye," her smile lifted and she gave a slight nod, then she left without a look back.
After she left his sight, Alex looked around, having forgotten that the coffee shop was filled with other people, and now, he realized, expecting their applause. He sat back down and lifted her handwriting into the air.
The 'at 7:00' intrigued him. Strange enough that she would write a time at all, but particularly strange that she wrote the numbers instead of writing the word, 'seven.' Alex checked his watch. He knew already that he would call in six hours, forty-two minutes, and fourteen seconds when his watch face read 7:00.
