The Unusual Second Life of Thomas Weaver Episode Two (The Unusual Life Of Thomas Weaver Book 2)
Page 5
”And?”
“And, nothing,” Thomas lied. “I never even saw him, so I turned around and walked back out. No big deal.”
Zack frowned as he pulled into their driveway. “Look, you’re a big kid. You can make your own decisions about things.” He turned off the Camaro’s engine, but made no move to open the door. “But Michael’s a weirdo. I’ve always thought he was a harmless weirdo, but still…”
Concern for me. That's something I have so missed, so long. Thomas turned to face Zack. “No worries, big brother. No more walks in the woods for me.”
Thomas and Zack got out of the car and pushed open the gate to their front yard. Thomas let Zack go in the house first, the conquering hero. Anne was still wearing her nurse’s uniform. She jumped up, opened her arms wide to Zack, and said, “Well?”
Zack smiled, nodded, and let her envelope him in a hug that ended with her holding him out at arm’s length and saying, “Okay, mister. Straight to the shower with you.” She turned to Thomas. “Tommy, honey, bring Amy inside.”
Thomas stuck his head out the front door. “Amy! Amiable! Come here girl! Amy!"
No dog.
"Amy?” He peered around their front yard—fenced and none too big—but she was nowhere in sight.
Down the block, Thomas heard an engine start. A deep blue Karmann Ghia pulled away from the curb and moved slowly down the street, trailing a cloud of smoke.
“Amy?”
Author’s Note
Thank you for reading along with me as I write Thomas Weaver’s story. I understand that reading a serial as it’s being written is a leap of faith—will this guy finish this story, or will he leave me hanging? I promise, I will finish the story of Thomas, Zack, Anne, Carrie and Michael. I will finish it because I have to find out what happens myself.
Would you like to know when the next installment of this serial comes out? If you join my New Release Alert List, only good things will happen: I will send you a free book to download, and I will always send you a single email when I have a new story available Here’s the link to join: http://bit.ly/1cU1iS0
As always, I would like to express my profound gratitude to my publishing team. My editor on every project is J.K. Kelley, who manages to read what I write and find the true meaning in those words. Then he sets that meaning free. I am so fortunate to work with him. Linda Boulanger from TreasureLine Books made the cover that I am using for each of the Thomas Weaver installments. I loved the idea she came up with of an older man, dressed as a teenage boy, contemplating a life he had left behind. Linda also formatted the story for me, which means she made it look like a book. Finally, but certainly not least, Debra Galvan served as “the final set of eyes” as my proofreader. She catches those little glitches that sneak by me every time.
