Lindsey smiled. “I will.”
She looked up at Kent who still didn’t seem certain his proposal had been accepted. “I’ll marry you.”
Kent blinked, and then his face relaxed. “Good. That’s great.” He slipped the ring on her finger. It fit. “Great.”
Someone started to clap, and soon the whole room was applauding. Kent pulled Lindsey into his arms and kissed her.
One ring, she thought, to rule.

For my seventh birthday my brother gave me The Eagles’ Hotel California and I was completely enchanted by the title track. No clue what it meant, but I loved it and my fate was sealed. Unfortunately, as a hard core introvert, performing onstage in any capacity was off the table as a career choice. So I turned to writing and spent many boring college lectures detailing the adventures of Touchstone in the margins of my notebooks. Years later I decided to do something with them and wrote what became Heaven Beside You. These things do tend to get out of control with me. A fun side project that kept me entertained while I was teaching English in Korea turned into a series that I was working on through a stint in Chile, the US and the Middle East. And I’m not slowing down.
When not writing, I like to travel so much that I recently had to have pages added to my passport. I also enjoy eating, reading and listening to music. Often simultaneously.
