Monday Musings & THIS IS SARAH by Ally Malinenko

By: Meradeth Houston on 4:00 AM

Happy Monday everyone! How are you all doing? Surviving Daylight Savings? (Ugh--I hate the shift, though I do love that it's light out later!) After a massive dump of snow last week I think we may finally be out of the worst of winter, finally! And Spring Break is next week--WOOHOO!! I'll be busy working all week, but that's academic life and at least I won't have to teach every day on top of research, and committees, and meeting with students, and and and... :) Yeah, being a professor often resembles being a ping-pong ball. I often wonder if I'll ever be able to think in a straight line again...or not be stressed out. Because the latter is something I can no longer even remember.

BUT, I did finish my WIP! Seriously, that's a major WOOT!!!!!! Because that MS has been doggin' me for over a year. So, hopefully my agent likes it, and I can dig into revisions. Until then I have a very fun little short piece I'm working on in the spare minutes I can eek out (haha, yeah, more like shove in to my schedule because I *have* to write to remain sane).

So, today I'm sharing a book that we've talked about here before, but it's a good one:

When Colin Leventhal leaned out his bedroom window on the night of May 12th and said goodbye to his girlfriend, he never expected it would be forever. But when Sarah Evans goes missing that night, Colin’s world unravels as he transforms from the boyfriend next door to the main police suspect. Then one year later, at her memorial service, Colin makes a phone call that could change everything. Is it possible that Sarah is still alive? And if so, how far will he go to bring her back?
