GENRE:
Contemporary Romance

BLURB:
Miranda
Shane lives a quiet life among books and letters as a professor in a
small upstate town. When the playing-by-the-rules poet throws out
convention and begins to use a Scrabble board instead of paper to
write, she sets off a chain of events that rattles her carefully
planned world.
Her
awakening propels her to take risks and seize chances she previously
let slip by, including a game-changing offer from the man she let
slip away. But when the revelation of an affair with a graduate
student threatens the new life Miranda created, she is forced to
decide between love or poetry.

Excerpt
Two:
“You
sure you don’t want to take a cab?” Scott asked her.
“I’m
sure. Then we wouldn’t see the diamonds,” Lynn said.
“Tiffany’s?”
Miranda asked. “You’re a little young for that aren’t you?
Though you are Bunny’s granddaughter.”
“Not
like Grandma Bunny’s diamonds! The diamonds on the sidewalk. Look!”
Sure
enough, the concrete in front of them sparkled. Four or five runs of
sidewalk shimmered with mica flecks, then it went to plain for a
block or two, then more that sparkled.
“I
want to know what makes them different,” Miranda said to Scott,
pointing at the abrupt change from sparkle to non-sparkle on the
sidewalk in front of them.
“But
knowing the difference would ruin it,” Scott said.
“You’d
rather think it was magic?”
“I
like the idea of magic. Don’t you?” he asked.
“I
don’t take much stock in that,” Miranda said.
“Daddy,
look!” Lynn said.
And
there in front of them was a huge elephant balloon with a circus ball
balancing on his trunk. The ball wasn’t all the way inflated yet;
it wobbled a little and the sides of the elephant shuddered some as
the helium pumped in. But an elephant as tall as a house at Central
Park was a sight to behold no matter the size or amount of helium
left to go. The crowd around them seemed to holding their breath in
anticipation as the ball slowly rose.
“See,”
Miranda said, “to people watching on television that's magic. But
it’s not magic. It’s a year of planning and then people working
all night on the day before a family holiday to pull it off.”
“But
it’s magic to her,” Scott said.
Lynn
strained at the barricade, craning her neck to see down the street
and the rest of the balloons staged there.
“Sure,
it’s magic to her. She’s a kid. Kids have to believe in magic.
When you really grow up, it’s different.”
“I
guess I’m not really grown up then,” Scott said. “And maybe I
don’t want to be.”
