51 Love
by Jeremy T. Ringfield
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: New
Adult Contemporary Romantic Suspense
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
This
story is about Abram, a hopeless romantic who enrolls into college and begins
leaving love notes for the girl, Jec, who works at the front desk of his
student apartments. About why they know each other when neither have even met.
That's right, she had seen his face only two weeks earlier, when he tossed his
book bag in the middle of the street, holding up traffic like a mad homeless
man. But what she doesn't know is that just before he came to grab his keys to
move in, the handsome albeit strange eyes and the person they belong to had
just been released from the county jail.
The
jail cell talk without any cameras around to record make his last 51 minutes in
the pen with a sketchy bunkmate a do or die conversation that may explain why
he became homeless, why he wrote the love letters in the first place, and if
both were random at all.

EXCERPT FOUR:
Chapter
9
The same day in August, 2015
I
think, for the price of a pizza, the experience of the novel is priceless.
A
literary ecstasy, this was not a book I wanted to lend. I had to have it.
My
co-worker interjects my thoughts, “Is that lighter fluid? What is he burning
out there in our fire pit? I’m telling you Jec, that dude killed somebody. You
haven’t seen him around as long as I have. The way he’s always scrunching his
face, looking like a stone cold killer with all that stinking thinking. Some
people struggle with who they really are. And when it goes foul, you know they
don’t always catch these people.”
He
picks up and holds out the book I am reading titled Wait For You, and says,
“Some novels you have to read twice to really see all the beauty in the
nuances, but these plots don’t always end beautifully Jec. You should start
reading more of them.”
I
take a bite out of an apple and stop scratching my thumb across a squiggled
smear on my permanent marker to look out the window as I reply to my front desk
co-receptionist, “Bobby, you’re being ridiculous. It just looked like he pulled
some papers from a box and threw them into the pit. Hey, where’d he go?”
Bobby
answers quickly, “No really, have you seen him using his hands on the street?
He’s probably practicing some lethal judo that nobody knows right now.
Hi-yah!—”
Ding-Ding.
At
the sound of the front door bell I tried to smother my giggle in
professionalism, but I no longer found it necessary to suppress as the blurry
silhouette of the person entering the front door became clear and my laughter
came to a sudden halt.

What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
Birthday cake
Great choice! I LOVE
Birthday Cake flavored ice cream too!
Which mythological creature are you most like?
So wish it were true, but
I would like to think that I am most like a fairy. Fly with discreet powers.
First book you remember making an indelible impression on you.
Captain Underpants. Those books still make me want to
jump into the page.
How do you develop your plot and characters?
I design my plots and characters to have an emotional
justice in mind for the end. I usually listen to a song first to get myself
almost emotionally irritated. I don’t use much of an outline. I have enough
going on in my head to let it fall onto the page where I feel it is supposed
to. I just bounce off dots to rationalize which direction they are going in.
That’s probably one of the main reasons I enjoy writing, because I get to live
through it.
Describe your writing space.
I love this question. My writing space is very open. I
like a lot of space around me because I am very animated when I write, bobbing
my head and waving my arms to a beat every now and then. I use a pen/pencil
often because I like how much my mind roams when I doodle. It gets weird sometimes
too I suppose. LOL I have to keep a notepad with me at all times because it
will just come out. I remember the first time I woke up and out of a dream in
the middle of the night in sheer laughter, and ran to my notepad. I’ve come to
accept this as my new normal now.
Thank you so much for spending time with Fabulous and Brunette readers and sharing your exciting new book with us! We wish you all the best on your book tour!
