Wow! Wrong Number - An Excerpt

 Excerpt from the story Neighbors in a New City, from my book titled Wow! Wrong Number.

         “You’re so beautiful, Sumedha.  Just like a rose.  Here, I have one for you,” so saying, he thrust a beautiful red rose in front of her face. 

         “You’re disturbing me Sir, please go away” she said through clenched teeth, barely able to contain her rising anger.

          “You’re insulting me Sumedha” he said angrily, his jaw rigid with frustration.  “Just who did she think she was?  The Queen of Sheba?”

         “I have had enough of your lecherous comments and innuendoes.  Please leave me alone, or else I’ll inform my husband and your wife about your unacceptable behavior.”

         “Go ahead.  Let’s see who will believe you!  My wife?  Not a chance.  Your hubby?  No way.  There is no way you’ll even dare to tell him about me.  I know that the tables will turn on you only!”

         Trust him to know how a male would react to such news!  They all were equally obnoxious.  It still was a man’s world! 

   End of Excerpt

Dad's Great, Boys! 

Dear friends,
Today, I'm missing my Dad who passed away recently. I can't help reminiscing about the cheerful times that we spent together, cracking jokes, playing games, painting, watching movies and discussing them threadbare, going out on picnics....

Anna, I'll always cherish your memories and hold your legacy's flag aloft, be your little girl!

My book titled 'Dad's great, boys!' is available as an e-book at https://www.draft2digital.com and at www.amazon.com. 

Today is Father's Day, a day to be thankful to God for having given you a wonderful father who is your backbone in life. What better way to celebrate it, than spending some precious time with him and reading out this e-book aloud to him!

Hurry, Boys, Girls and Cool Dads, not to forget; your Great Moms too! Immediately, get down to reading this heartwarming collection of stories and let me have your invaluable feedback. 

Kindly share this post and spread the good word around. Happy reading!
Happy Father's Day!
