My LHNB story is headed through editing and is over 30K. I tried to keep it shorter and just couldn't do it. I hope everyone likes it. All of the stories written for this Goodreads event will be available in an anthology for free sometime in July. I will post a link to the download here when it becomes available.

There are some really good writers participating in this event and I felt honored to be able to participate and have such a good prompt. Thank you Anna!

Here is an excerpt;

“Who’s Ms. Taylor and are you sure it’s him?”

“Yeah, it’s him. Claudia’s dad is in the picture. Taylors’ the PI I hired. Listen, if I leave now I can be there before dark.”

I wasn’t sure I wanted him driving so upset but I knew going with him was out of the question. I didn’t have anyone to watch Chey and missing another day of work was a bad idea.

“Where is there?”

“Bend, Oregon. They’re at a campground there. At least they are right now.”

“What about the sheriff? Can’t you call the police?”

“I already did. It’s a custody case. I never filed it as a kidnapping. Stupid, I know. They won’t do anything unless it becomes a domestic dispute. You know, violent. Claudia’s parents are idiots but they aren’t that stupid. If I show up they won’t stop me from taking him.”

I didn’t like this at all. “Will Ms. Taylor be there?”

“Yeah.”
