I enjoyed To Steal a Heart! Jen Turano sure has a gift at writing a lighthearted story. I posted the first line from Susan Sleeman’s Night Fall: “She was dying, and it was his fault.”

Over on my blog I am sharing the first line of Watercolors by Lorna Seilstad.
“Spring should be filled with the scents of apple blossoms and fresh rain, not of sweaty men, wet canvas, and diseased flesh.”

Happy Friday! Today, I’m sharing the first line from When Silence Sings by Sarah Loudin Thomas. “Colman walked along the last car of the coal train, tapping each wheel with his long-handled hammer, listening intently to the clang clang clang.”
