Spotlight on RT Wolfe!
Hiya, Readers! It's my pleasure to welcome RT Wolfe to the blog today - to share an excerpt from her latest Flying in Shadows! This is book 2 in the Black Creek Series; I had the pleasure of reading Black Creek Burning a few months ago and loved it. RT, take it away!
Walking in the dark, Andy readjusted his tackle box. Moonlight shone on the dark ripples creeping down Black Creek. He spotted a raccoon as he crossed the bridge. Startled, the animal hissed at him. Andy stomped his foot and hissed back; he was in no mood for it.
In his peripheral vision, he saw movement Larger movement. A man? The shape disappeared as quickly as Andy imagined it. When you let yourself get this worked up, you start seeing things, he chided himself.
He needed Rose.
She would calm him down and lighten his mood, help him feel normal again. He looked at his watch and winced. What were friends for if you couldn't count on them to be there? Even at this time of night. Or morning.
* * *
Rose slept soundly in her twin bed dreaming of her favorite spot at the zoo. In the small rain forest building, she allowed a newly emerged monarch butterfly to dry its wings on her apron while sharing facts about the insect to one of two visiting young boys. The other threw pebbles into the nearby wishing pond. The sound of the small rocks plunked as they hit the stone wall before dropping into the water.
Oh, crap. She woke and sat up straight. The plunking noise came from outside, not in her head.
Heart in her throat, she ripped off her blankets and hustled across the hard floor to the window. It was still pitch-black out.
Grabbing the flashlight she always kept on the windowsill, Rose paused for moment. She shook her head assuring herself it was Andy and lifted the window. She found him with the beam as she hissed loudly, “I thought you didn’t get home until tomorrow.”
"It is tomorrow." He held up fishing poles and tackle box.
"It's not tomorrow until the sun comes up." Tugging on a pair of jeans, Rose smiled wildly to herself. This reaction she had to Andy Reed had to stop. It was not healthy.
"I've got the worms." he called. "Get down here."
All about Flying in Shadows:
From the time she was a little girl, Rose Piper was sure of two things: she wanted to work with animals and she wanted to win the heart of her best friend, Andy Reed.
Now the most sought-after conservation biologist in the Northeast, she's trying to convince herself that one out of two isn't bad.
Andy spent most of his life following his dream of becoming a builder. Now a successful land developer, he has returned to Black Creek to win the girl he has loved since high-school and hurt too many times: Rose
But efforts to keep their love together turn dangerous when a decades-old secret brings a murderer out of hiding, sending the pair running for their lives.

Nice excerpt. I love the title, too.
ReplyDeleteFlying in Shadows sounds like a great read. I love friends to lovers stories and when you throw in a little mystery you have me hooked! I'm going to have to add this one to my tbr list (which I'm proud to say is dwindling as I am gaining more time to read...woot woot)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your book RT!!
Hi R.T., Congrats on the release! I am currently reading Flying in Shadows, and I love it. I will be sure to let you know my thoughts when I finish. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteGreat excerpt!
ReplyDeleteit's my pleasure, RT! Great excerpt!
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of Flying in Shadows, the title itself is fabulous and that's just the start! Nice one RT, I can't wait to get stuck in :)
ReplyDeleteLove the excerpt! Good luck on the release.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, RT! I love when friends get cozier.
ReplyDeleteI loved this book so much, and seeing the excerpt here was like welcoming an old friend. Such a great story, memorable characters. You did a very nice job on the blurb, too. I hadn't seen that before. With the same warmth and depth of emotion of BLACK CREEK BURNING, FLYING IN SHADOWS is sure to grab hold of you and not let go, even after the end. I can't wait until book three! Luckily I don't think I have to wait too long. Any ARCs to spare..? Best of luck with this release and the whole series. You deserve huge acclaim and the love of your friends and readers.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kristina, and visitors for the kind words. I hope you give Flying in Shadows a try!
