Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
Ford Aston is not too picky about what he wants out of Christmas. He’s not into this holiday—like at all. He doesn’t do presents, or family dinners, or parties, or church.
He does pets. And he’s got one lined up for Christmas Eve. In fact, it’s the highlight of his day. And if he can get through drop-in visits, nosy twelve year olds, an inappropriate conversation with his best friend’s girlfriend, dinner with a family that’s not his, and a party at his mother’s house—well, he might just get home in time to enjoy himself with a stranger and make it all OK.
SLACK: A Day in the Life of Ford Aston, is a prequel to TAUT: The Ford Book, and can be read as a standalone novella.
SLACK released on December 18, 2013 and TAUT releases on January 20, 2014

**My Teaser**
"Sitting with Ronin at lunch was enough to give any guy an inferiority complex, but add in my social limitaions to that mess, and it was torture for me." Ford, Slack, Loc 159
Intriguing tease! This is totally new to me! Hope you enjoy the rest!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Thanks, Jessica. This is a spinoff of J.A. Huss' Rook and Ronin series, so I already knew Ford...and loved him. :) Thanks for stopping by! And have a Merry Christmas!
Delete*groans* Yeah, you had to share a Ford quote, didn't you? Well, as soon as we leave Norway, I'm gonna start reading Slack too!! I might be very sad, though, because my 16 yo son is staying here to play hockey!!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Brandee *big hugs* I hope you and your family are having the most fabulous Christmas yet.

Yeah, yeah I did, Lexxie. Sorry! ;) You'll breeze through Slack - I enjoyed it a lot. I think it was a great setup for what we'll get in Taut. There's a lot more to Ford... Muwahahahahaha
DeleteHow long is your son staying? That might make me a bit sad, too. But he'll be having a blast!
Merry Christmas to you, Lexxie! Enjoy being surrounded by all your loved ones!! *big hugs*
Oh love the tease! You know I'm dying to read something from this author.
