Six Sentence Sunday

From my current release, Riding with Heaven, I decided to show a different side of my main character, Evan McGrath today. Evan is an art major at UC-Boulder, and in this scene he's killing time waiting for Lucas by doing a little pencil sketching. And I stuck to an actual six sentences this time. ;-)

I hope you enjoy this little glimpse.

Rough lines formed the angles and planes of bone structure, shading added depth and shape to muscle, and a body began to rise from the page—a body that bore a striking resemblance to Lucas. Heat charged up the back of Evan’s neck. He hadn’t intended on drawing Lucas, hadn’t even consciously thought of it, but there he was in shades of graphite. Suddenly feeling self-conscious, Evan reached for his eraser to hide where that moment had taken him, but his hand froze just before the soft rubber touched the page. Without giving thought as to why, he put the eraser down and flipped to a blank sheet. Evan cast a covert look around the restaurant to make sure he hadn’t been caught, then sought out his original reference model and began again.

Don't forget to check out more sixers from a bunch of other great authors here.

Riding with Heaven is now available at Loose Id, Amazon, and All Romance Ebooks.
