check out free reads on my short stories and poetry pages at my new website http://Laurellamperdwriter.webs.com
Short story - Relationships - Nineteen year old Ben's life was going along swimmingly in more ways than one then on the beach, his girlfirined Karen, tells him she's pregnant.
I enjoyed your story--"Relationships"--especially the surprise at the end. A friend of mine wrote a book about a teen boy whose girlfriend gets pregnant, but that tale has a much different ending. The book is entitled The Lie and the author is Lori Pollard-Johnson. FYI: I found you through Goodreads' Women's Fiction Author Discussion "Let's Share Blogs."
Thanks for reading Relationshps, Sandy. Reading the story again to put up on my websites, I thought it maybe a little dated for today's teens but that's how it was when I wrote it. I put a comment on your blog.
Hi Laurel, I think I'll have to join Women's Fiction Author Discussion too. But unlike you I'm not such a prolific or generous writer. Your free reads are awesome. You have a cover with the title for this book don't you? ;)
Great hook. We immediately what to find out what Ben is going to do.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that, Peggy. I hadn't thought about it being a great hook. Cheers.
