TEASER TUESDAY: LOVE AT FIRST FLIGHT BY TESS WOODS

It’s pure coincidence that this teaser and my previous one (Adultery by Paolo Coehlo) include themes of infidelity, among others. No, this is not my theme of the month. In fact, I didn’t even finish Adultery – I just couldn’t get into it because I could not connect with the character/narrator’s voice. With Love at First Flight, I found myself wanting to follow the story through because I wanted to understand the two characters’ emotions. Knowing that her topic of choice is one that many find uncomfortable, author Tess Woods has written a thought-provoking guest post on Book Muster Down Under called “Why is writing about infidelity taboo but brutal murder isn’t?” It’s worth a read.

Here’s the teaser:

Yesterday I was carefree, excited. I was normal then. Now everything was different. Matt had changed everything. How could I go back to normal now? (35%)

And here’s another:

‘”The verb love is what counts, not the feeling of love. When you feel love, it’s selfish, it’s just for you and affects nobody but you. But when you act love, you are committing the act of loving somebody.”‘ (93%)

Here’s the blurb:
