Free Fic: Loser's Waltz
Today I'm celebrating the serial novella I'm writing for your entertainment pleasure. Here's the blurb, if you haven't clicked on the freebie link before now.

Saralee Waltz is a waitress who once wanted to be a dancer. In her free time, she talks to her snotty Siamese cat and watches HSN, though she never buys anything. Vincent Losier is an alcoholic handyman who dreams of painting the Sistine Chapel. When he creates a misunderstood masterpiece on the side of Lucky's Liquor, only Saralee will front his bail.

A series of bad choices have trapped them both at rock bottom in an Indiana town with the unlikely name of Eden. In lieu of repayment, she asks him to paint her house, an idea that has the conservatives up in arms. Threatened by the Welcome Wagon, the neighborhood association and city hall, these folks are determined to paint Saralee's house, come hell or high water. And together, through acrylic and latex, bunt cake and pudding fights, they'll realize that dreams have a way of winging over walls, and when the music's right, even losers waltz.


My fabulous web designer (yay for Deena who just added blingy sparkles to the template!) just posted the second chapter. So check out Loser's Waltz. It's fun, quirky, off the wall, and best of all...free!

Good stuff, Annie! If I manage to survive what is shaping up to look like a frantic holiday season without poking my eyes out with a sharp stick--way too many relatives and places to go and money to spend-- I'll come back in Jan. to read more :P

Sweet! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Loser's Waltz will be around 50K when it's done. Too short for a novel, a bit long for a novella, so it made sense to serialize it, as there isn't a niche where it fits conveniently.
