Here is an an excerpt...
“I can’t take any more
chances. I don’t want to feel anymore. Don’t you understand? I’m cursed. Stay away from me,” I cried as I
ran down the trail into the darkness.
“Leona. Where are you? This isn’t funny, you’re scaring me.”
Tony finally caught up with
me. When he did, I placed my arms around his neck and kissed him.
“Whoa, Leona!”
Seeing Tony calm down from
my touch reminded me how powerful touch can be.
“I love you, Tony.”
“You don’t have to say
that.”
“Yes, I do.”
When we got back to the
house, Tony turned off the car and got in a comfortable position and tilted the
steering wheel. He looked like a different person than the young man who came
to pick me up. I wondered if I looked different as well.
“You’re beautiful, Leona. I
just wish you would see it. Let me make you feel good.”
“I don’t think I’m ready for
sex yet.”
“That’s not what I’m talking
about. I want to touch your heart and mind first, and then your body. I want
you to feel me every time you breathe. I want my presence in your life to be
the source of your strength, faith, hope, love and certainty. I want your heart
and everything in it.”
“You sound like God, you
know?” I smiled.
He laughed.
“How did we get on this
subject, Leona?”
“You started it,” I said as
I laid my head on his shoulder.
Tony and I found each other
again. This time it seemed like we had God with us. Talking about God so freely
reminded me of the freedom I shared with my first crush, Andrew.
Tony and I spent a lot of
time together. He became my healer. I was ready to rejoin my life in the Army.
I had one week left before I was due to arrive at Fort Sill, and I wanted to
take Tony with me. Even though I was enjoying him, I couldn’t wait to get back
into my life as a soldier.
The day I was set to leave,
Tony came over and had dinner with us. My mom made the best roast, but it
wasn’t enough to kill the sadness hanging over the room. Tony wasn’t himself,
and his silence was beginning to make us uncomfortable, so I took him by the
hand and pulled him outside to the porch.
“What’s the matter?”
“Nothing, I do have quiet
moments, you know,” Tony answered defensively.
“Talk to me, Tony.”
Tony turned away from me and
began walking toward his car.
“Sorry, Leona, I got to go.
Have a safe trip.”
“Just like that, you’re
walking out on me! Why? Be man enough to tell me why!” I yelled as I
walked toward his car.
“I will never have you,
Leona,” he said mournfully.
I shook my head in
confusion. “What are you talking about?”
“Did you know you talk in your sleep? I thought it was no big deal at first. But
then one night, no two nights, you cuddled up with me on the couch and called
me Doug! Leona, I can’t compete with a
ghost!”
I let out a sigh. “Don’t do
this, Tony. My parents are waiting for us. Can we talk about this later?”
Tony shut the car door and
walked back up on the porch.
“I would like us to at least
make it through dinner,” I said.
After dinner, my dad and
Tony watched a football game while Mom and I cleared the table and washed
dishes. When we finished washing dishes, Tony and I decided to go out for a
while alone. As soon as we got in the car, we both apologized to each other at
the same time.
“No, wait; let me say this
before we go any farther. I may have said Doug’s name in my sleep, but it
doesn’t mean I don’t have room in my heart for you. I was traumatized, Tony.
Sudden death is no joke.”
“I know. I guess I was a
little jealous.”
“I have a surprise for you.
At least, I hope it is a surprise. I wanted our last night together to be
special.”
We rode in silence, listening
to one of Tony’s jazz list of music. We pulled up in front of a hotel and Tony
parked the car, got out, and came over to my side to help me out. With his hand
in mine, we walked into the hotel. We didn’t have to check in because he
already had the key to our room. I didn’t know how I felt about this. All I
knew was he and I were about to be alone. When he opened the door, the
candlelight and roses all over the room overwhelmed me. There were rose petals
strewn all over the bed. Before I could say anything, Tony picked me up and
threw me in the middle of the fragrant pile.

Wow, fantastic!
Let's chat with the author for a bit...
Linda, it's wonderful to have you here on Writing in the Modern Age again! Glad you could stop by!
Can you tell us a little bit about your book? When did it come out and where can we get it?
A Love Story to Remember is indeed a book you will never forget because this is a love
story about reality in understanding life and love. The main character, Leona
Tillard is loved so deeply by men who look beyond the imperfections of her
past. In reading this book, you will also get a soulful look at how men love
and care about their families.
This book came out in
August and is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and my publisher.
Great!
A lot of readers love origin stories. What inspired you to write your book? Furthermore, how did you get into writing inspirational tales?
I was inspired to
write A Love Story to Remember
based on my life’s experience and what I see young females experiencing today.
When you begin your life with great difficulty in understanding healthy love
and relationships, you struggle in the acceptance of receiving a genuine love
from a man that could really love you. Leona Tillard, the main character joined
the United States Army and began to learn that she was worthy of love. The
loves she experiences will make anybody question whether they can embrace pure
and unconditional love after being raised in a dysfunctional environment. The
love of a man is powerful!
True! Isn't it fascinating where the muse takes us? ;)
Let's try something else.
What do you feel sets A Love Story to Remember apart from other books in the genre?
What sets this book apart
from other books is the unfolding of soulful and heartfelt realities that comes
to surface as love finds its way into life. The writing style lets readers know
we have never been alone in this world and that there is a mate here for us
that we can love and strengthen while being loved and strengthened. It also
deals with loving someone with PTSD, a survivor of domestic violence and sexual
abuse. And, you learn the heart of a drug addict.
All right.
One other thing...
I'm sure readers are curious about your next project. Can you tell us what you've got cooking up now, or is that a secret?
I'm sure readers are curious about your next project. Can you tell us what you've got cooking up now, or is that a secret?
Right now, my focus is
on A Love Story to Remember because
writing it was a labor of love for humanity and I want the world to know it exists.
It takes great time and sacrifice to promote books today and I am up for the
task. The only project I may engage is a blog to interact with readers while
and after reading this book of love revelations.
Nice!
Thanks for visiting and letting us know all about your inspirational military romance, Linda! Love the premise!
It sounds like quite a read! :)
