She forced her body to relax and searched her slot to see if any music was available. All of her favorite songs were there. She smiled and searched for a suitable one to be the very first one she played in her new life. As she scanned the titles, many of them looked both appropriate and wrong at the same time. I need one that is perfect…ah!
She fell asleep to the easy strains of This Wasn’t Supposed to Happen by Army of Anyone.
The End
Author’s Note
I’d like to thank you for reading this book. The publishing industry is changing dramatically since the advent of ebooks. It is now very difficult to get any book noticed, regardless of quality. If you enjoyed this book, you could do some very simple things to help me attract attention. Word of mouth is the number one source of success for novels, so simply telling family and friends about the book is a great start. Here are a few other ways of helping out, if you are so inclined:
Post a review on Amazon.com
Post a review on Goodreads
Talk about the book or write a review on Facebook
Tell folks about the book in a blog post.
One or more of those options would be a tremendous help! Again thank you, and I hope you will try out my future publications.
Ted Cross, November 2014
