Loss

-
I will be letting this blog go on a break while I try to cope with loss and grief. I will not be keeping any commitments about posts or reviews.

My husband was killed in a car-bike crash on Friday night.

Fin50: A Marriage of Convenience

This month's prompt is A Marriage of Convenience. I hope I did it justice. Actually, I totally cheated. This is non-fiction. A Marriage of Convenience Dad said he married Mom for her snow tires, or maybe it was the cute Simca she drove. Then he’d kiss her. I like to claim I married my husband for his health insurance. We are still married. Sometimes convenience is a good excuse for a long and happy marriage.  ### ©Rebecca M. Douglass, 2017 As always, please ask permission to use any photos or text.

It's the first Wednesday of the month again already, and time for my IWSG post! I'm excited to be a co-host again this month!   Purpose: To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds (and come on, we're all insecure in some way)! Posting: The first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group day.

Be sure to link to the IWSG page and display the badge in your post. And please be sure your avatar lin...

    Publisher's Blurb (Goodreads): Two kids join forces to save a dog . . . but wind up saving each other. Ash is no stranger to feeling like an outcast. For someone who cycles through genders, it’s a daily struggle to feel in control of how people perceive you. Some days Ash is undoubtedly girl, but other times, 100 percent guy. Daniel lacks control too—of his emotions. He’s been told he’s overly sensitive more times than he can count. He can’t help the way he is, and he sure wishes someone would accept him for it.

When they start catching feelings for each other, however, things go from cute to complicated. Daniel thinks Ash is all girl . . . what happens when he finds out there’s more to Ash’s story? With so much on the line—truth, identity, acceptance, and the life of an adorable pup named Ch...
