This teaser comes from the book The Summer Son by Craig Lancaster which debuts in January!

The Summer SonPage 4 -" I had been stewing about the most recent flight, about my mounting failures, and about this mystery Dad had dropped on us.  In my anger, I wanted to close every door."



About the book:

When Mitch Quillen’s life begins to unravel, he fears there is no escape. His marriage and his career are both failing, and his relationship with his father has been a disaster for decades. Approaching forty, Mitch doesn’t want to become a middle-aged statistic. When his estranged father, Jim, suddenly calls, Mitch’s wife urges him to respond. Ready for a change, Mitch heads to Montana and a showdown that will alter the course of his life. Amid a backdrop of rugged peaks and valleys, the story unfolds: a violent episode that triggered the rift, thirty years of miscommunication, and the possibility of misplaced blame. In Craig Lancaster’s powerful novel, The Summer Son, readers are invited into a family where conflict and secrets prevail, and where hope for healing and redemption is possible.

My teaser comes from the book called Musical Chairs by Jen Knox :

"I began to imagine that they were our guardian angels. I would watch them from my bedroom window, wonder what they talked about over silver cans of beer; sometimes my father would share bits of his conversations with us over dinner, and I enjoyed these short stories."

I bet your wondering who these guardian angels are??

So whats your teaser?
