Instead, she's hired as a glorified typist. And not even with the rest
of the marketing department, but way downstairs in the only available
office, which she has to share with Brad, who's a total geek. A geek

Hey All!

Thought I would swing by and try to stay caught up on the messages!

Maggie this looks really good.  I had chills, which is really cool.  I snickered over the trolls under the bed.  I always worried about invisable creatures when I was younger residing there. :D

Hi --
Just got back from a day away and things are busy!  Glad to see this group, and hello all the familiar names, and welcome to everyone.
 
My Champagne Miniature Rose was released yesterday (Friday, Jan. 19th in case Yahoo's being pokey). 
 
Blurb:
 

Stephanie's lifelong dream is to design toys—sweet, cuddly toys. Instead, she's hired as a glorified typist.  And not even with the rest of the marketing department, but way downstairs in the only available office, which she has to share with Brad, who's a total geek.  A geek who's happy programming computer games full of explosions.

 

They agree to ignore each other while Stephanie waits for a desk to open upstairs. But when Brad has girlfriend troubles—like he can't get Lianne, the cocktail waitress to notice him—he swallows his pride and asks Stephanie if she'll teach him how to talk to women.  She agrees, but he's having trouble passing her exams.

 

*********

 

Here's an excerpt, and there's more on my website about all my WRP releases.
 
***********
 

Inside the lobby, Brad's sneakers squeaked on the polished marble floor.  An aggregation of suits clustered in front of the elevator.  He looked down at his worn jeans and pivoted toward the stairs.  Although his office was on the lowest floor occupied by Wilson and Wilkes, it was hardly subterranean.  Climbing the four flights would work off the cherry pie, not to mention the frustrations a meal with Kevin seemed to instigate.  At the second floor landing, he paused to take off his jacket.

 

Breathing a little too hard, he pushed open the door at four and a sense of calm washed over him.  This was where he belonged.  Unexpected strains of classical music drifted down the hall.  When he realized the melody came from his office, he quickened his pace.  Almost in one motion, he swiped his key card through the lock and pushed the door open. 

 

From behind the spare desk, a woman turned, blinking her large blue eyes at him. 

 

He froze in the doorway.  "Who the hell are you?  And what are you doing with my things?"

 

###

 

"Mr. Hewitt?"  Stephanie turned off her CD player.  She grabbed her glasses from the desk and adjusted them on her nose.  The blur at the door turned into a geek in ratty jeans and a faded green South Park t-shirt with a black jacket slung over his arm.  An unsmiling geek.  She tried to decide if he looked more confused or angry.  Either way, it was definitely not a glad to see you expression.  She came around the desk and extended her hand. "I'm Stephanie Brinks."

 

His expression hadn't changed, but he took two steps into the room.  He nodded, but didn't offer his hand in return. 

 

She gave him the friendliest smile she could muster.  "You know?  Your new office mate?  Didn't you get the e-mail?  Last Friday?  From Mr. Wilkes?"

Subject: [TheWildRosePress] Excerpt from House of Lies

 

Here’s being said about House of Lies:

 

“Maggie Toussaint is a fresh voice filled with talent and characters that step off the page” – Diana Cosby, Zebra author

 

“Like a donut’s cream-filled center, Maggie Toussaint’s debut novel contains secretive pleasures” – Darlene Gardner, Harlequin SuperRomance author

 

“The perfect blend of heart-warming romance and suspense.  House of Lies is a book you’ll definitely want to curl up with” – Gail Barrett, award-winning author

 

“House of Lies is a tender tale of redemption, forgiveness – and romance” – Hope Tarr, author of The Haunting

 

 

And now, here’s a snippet from House of Lies:

 

Without warning, the black sedan loomed large in her rear view mirror.  Her fingers tightened around the steering wheel.  Not now.  There was no place to hide.  Worse, there was a bad turn right in front of her.  She decelerated into the curve.

 

But the black sedan kept on coming, as if she wasn’t even there, as if the sharp curve wasn’t dangerous.

 

As the sedan closed on her, she noted the front license tag was missing.  Virginia, Maryland, and D.C. required front plates.  The hair on the back of her neck electrified.

 

Suddenly, the sedan swerved over in the oncoming traffic lane, alarming Hannah further.  What was the driver thinking?  If someone approached from the other direction, there’d be a three car pile up.

 

Hannah glanced anxiously in her side mirror.  The windows of the sedan were tinted so dark she couldn’t tell if the driver was male or female.  It was a nameless faceless menace.

 

Like the trolls under her childhood bed.

 

Her gut told her this was a bad situation.  Her father had warned her time and again to listen to her gut when faced with danger.  Her gut said to get the heck out of here.

 

She stomped on the accelerator just as the sedan whipped towards where her rear bumper had been.  Tires squealed as the sedan veered off the road and then back.  Hannah didn’t wait around to find out if they crashed.  She hurried home.

 

She flew through the brick fence posts surrounding her neighborhood, roaring up the quiet streets, and the sedan faded from sight. Inside the locked garage, she shut off the car.  Her heart hammered wildly. 

 

She pried her fingers off the steering wheel, slowly flexing her stiff joints.  God.  What had just happened?  Had someone tried to run her off the road?

 

The sedan’s maneuvers had been deliberate.  No amount of hormonal hysteria on her part would account for the other driver trying to ram her rear end.  If she hadn’t listened to her gut, the cars would’ve collided.  There on that curve, at that speed, it was likely an inexperienced driver would’ve lost control of the car and spun off into the ravine.

 

The data was easy to interpret.  Someone wanted to harm her.

 

But who?

 

And why?
