Excerpt:
The Confident Hope
On
Wednesday, Mark knocked on the shop’s door before noon, carrying Toomey’s
sacks. A surprised Pamela opened the door and called to the back of the
building.
“Break time,
K.C. Someone brought our lunch today.”
As if he was
on a mission, K.C. skirted around the moving couple and headed toward the door.
He faced Pamela when she called his name. “I have an errand to run. I’ll pick
up something to eat on the way.”
Pamela
removed a food sack from Mark’s hand and waved it at her helper.
“These steak
burgers smell delicious. Take some food with you.” Still shaking the bag at
K.C., Pamela walked backwards behind Mark as he headed to the breakroom. “No?
We’ll eat without you this time.”
Flashing a
wide grin, K.C. stared at her for a few seconds. “I have a prior engagement I
can’t break. Maybe next time.”
Mark doubled
back to the open space. “Give me your order for tomorrow before you leave.” He
looked from Hodges to Pamela, and then back at the man walking toward the door.
“How about pizza?” he asked.
K.C.
instantly spun around.
E. C. Jackson began her writing career with the full-length play Pajama Party. Thirty-one years later, she adapted the play into Pajama Party: The Story, a companion book to the second book in the five-book standalone Hope series.
Jackson’s favorite pastime is reading fiction. She enjoys taking the journey along with the characters in the books. That also led to her unorthodox approach to story writing. Her vision for each book she writes is to immerse readers into the storyline so they become connected with each character.
“The Write Way: A Real Slice of Life” is the slogan on her website and Facebook author page. She feels that if every person reading her books feels connected to the characters, her job is done.
Janet, thank you for sharing the Hope Series.
