I’m sorry about last week. I had a good bit on my plate and didn’t get a post ready in time.

This week I’m continuing from where I left off the last time I posted with my upcoming release, Outcast, Supernaturals Book 2, a paranormal romance.

This excerpt stars chapter 4. This chapter is in Leigh’s point of view. Here we see why Leigh chose to go somewhere she knew she wasn't wanted.

Once my sister took her place and everyone sat, the long ceremony started. I held my gaze firmly to Danielle. I couldn’t let Ryan or anyone else pull my attention from her. She was why I was there, why, against my better judgment, I agreed not to take the redeye in from Seattle. I had hoped to avoid everyone by taking the flight that would have had me there the morning of the wedding, only Danielle sent me a text the night before saying that she’d switched my ticket to an earlier flight because she wanted me to attend the rehearsal dinner. I had groaned and complained and begged her to change it back, but she had cried and pleaded for me to be there for her, and I gave in to her pitiful sobs.

Danielle meant well, but she never understood how embarrassing it was for me to be around those people, or maybe she did, but she thought throwing me in everybody’s faces would magically cause them to change their minds about me. She could wish all she wanted, but I knew that was never going to happen.

Having the earlier flight meant that I got to the hotel shortly before four in the afternoon, about the same time most of Dave’s family started to arrive. That meant that I spent the rest of the afternoon dodging everyone when I wasn’t cooped up in my room.

My stress level rose the second my taxi pulled up in front of the hotel. The driver stopped behind Mom and Dad’s town car. I didn’t give the man time to put the vehicle in park before I was undoing my seat belt and reaching for the handle. My parents had their backs turned to me and were clearly leaving the hotel. I wanted to get out of the vehicle and into the hotel before they saw me.

Just as my father was helping my mother into the vehicle, an usher came out of the hotel pushing a luggage cart. My father turned to look behind him, and I could see him peering into the windshield of my cab, trying to figure out who was inside for no other reason than that he was curious. The driver made a move to get out of the car, but I stopped him.

“Wait a second, please,” I said, ducking behind my seat. “Act as if we are having a conversation. At least until that gentleman gets into his car.”

The driver shrugged and gave me my total. I paid him. Seconds later, my father’s car pulled away from the curb, and the usher reached our vehicle with the rack. I crawled out of the back seat and maneuvered myself so that the man and the cart would be all anyone saw if they looked our way. The man and the driver unloaded my few things onto the cart, and I followed the usher inside. I heard the irritating voices of the Pine Hollow town’s folk, but I did my best to ignore them.

 That’s it for today. I hope you enjoyed it.

Outcast, Supernaturals Book 2, a paranormal romance.

 Leigh Alexander has lived every day of her life feeling like an outcast amongst her family and the small-minded people of Pine Hollow, a secretive community to which her parents belong. When Danielle, Leigh’s younger sister, asks Leigh to come home for her wedding, Leigh’s torn between wanting to be there for her sister and saving herself from people who’ve despised her all of her life.

 Knowing she’ll regret her decision, Leigh gives into her sister and goes home for what she hopes is the last time. Leigh was prepared for people to ignore her, for them to shun her, for them to point out all the ways she didn’t belong all because she wasn’t a size perfect, but what she hadn’t been prepared for was falling for Ryan Hart, a man who she will soon learn knows all of the secrets her family and the town of Pine Hollow refuse to tell her.

 Revealing the truth about Pine Hollow and the rest of the supernatural world might be forbidden, but to save Leigh’s life, Ryan will tell her everything about who she is, or more importantly who she isn’t, even if it will forever change her life and the lives of every person in Pine Hollow.
