A Woman's Persuasion
by Jeanette Watts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Lesbian Fiction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
What would you do for a second chance at a perfect love?
Anne's
privileged family forced her to break off her romance with Freddie Wentworth,
an Air Force pilot; they didn't approve. Almost eight years later, Freddie is
back in her life. Can they rekindle an old flame? Or is there too much hurt and
misunderstanding in the way?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT ONE:
An
awkward encounter in the park
New
York was full of public green spaces: Prospect Park close to the Musgrove
house, Green-Wood Cemetery near the dry cleaners, and of course Central Park in
Manhattan.
She
had gone to see an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and then went for
a long walk on the endlessly winding trails, when she happened upon Henry and
Louis walking with Freddie.
“Anne!”
Henry exclaimed. “What on earth are you doing, walking alone in Central Park?”
Anne
gave them a nonchalant shrug. “What does it look like I’m doing? I’m walking

“We
met at your brother’s house, and we already ascertained that we went to Cornell
at the same time,” Freddie nodded civilly to Anne.
“Hello,”
Anne answered her nod with a weak smile.
“We’re
asking for details about Freddie’s glamorous career as a pilot. She’s
frustratingly close-mouthed about everything,” Henry complained.
“Well,
you know military personnel can’t say much about what they’re doing. Why are
you asking?” Anne chastised the both of them. Her eyes met Freddie’s for a
moment, and Anne’s voice dried up and withered away to nothing. She remembered
when she was the one asking Freddie the questions, and Freddie would answer her
with a laugh, “Well, I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you.”
“Well,
what I can tell you is that the recruiters really aren’t lying when they say
‘It’s not just a job, it’s an adventure,’ ” Freddie offered.

AUTHOR BIO:
Jeanette Watts was
happily writing historical fiction when she got the idea for her first Jane
Austen-inspired novel, Jane Austen Lied to Me. Going to a JASNA event to work
on selling that book, she attended a lecture that asked, "Why does
everyone rewrite Pride and Prejudice so much more than her other novels? Why
doesn't anyone rewrite Persuasion?"
So
she had to...
