Yes, it is another loosely interpreted six sentences, but this time it’s a justifiable eight!
This snippet is from The Way Home, the first volume of Kat and Natalie stories. At the end of the freshman year, resident assistants Jessie and her partner collect their assortment of floormates for a party. Kat is caught off-guard, but as usual Natalie has anticipated her discomfort.
As we gradually quiet down, Jessie begins again. “We just wanted to say that not only we are so proud of you guys for making it through the year, but so are your families! We talked to your parents and asked them to write a letter to you since it’s the end of your first year, and we’re going to hand them out now. You don’t have to share unless you want to.”
Suddenly, the pizza and M&Ms and Doritos in my stomach are making me feel sick. I set down my plate and start to get up. Natalie lays a hand on my arm, but I shake it off. I start to leave, but this time her fingers wrap around my wrist and pull me just close enough to hear her command in a piercing whisper, “Sit.”
Look for The Way Home, to be released March 6th by Lazy Day.

I read Mrs. Clause, so far the only book I have read of yours. You already have Natalie and Kat books out right? I’m starting to really get interested in these books. I absolutely adore F/F spanking stories.
The Way Home will be published March 6th, and it is the first published version of their stories. I am so glad you are interested.
Oh, and I hope that you liked Mrs. Claus. Thank you so much for reading!
I remember when this was it was on the blog. It made me tear up. Friendship, kindness, love, support, those are just a few words that come to mind. This was a great ‘loosely’ interpreted six making us cry for ‘more!’
No matter who thinks Natalie is too strict…this scene is the heart of why she is the leader in their relationship.
Strong eight. Thanks for this. Sounds like a must read.
Oh, I hope that you think so once the full version comes out. Just over two weeks now…*nervous pacing* I hope you like it.
I heard it, loud and clear… “Sit” ! even the Pizza, M&M’s and Dorito’s heard it… A very powerful whisper indeed…
It’s the authority of a small whisper that effects the greatest change..powerful, indeed. Thank you so much.
Kat’s reaction and Natalie’s firm command make this an anticipation filled excerpt. Great work!
Thank you, Ryan! I’m so glad that we can keep up with each other’s writing through this new version of Six Sunday.
Natalie has a commanding presence. Sounds like an interesting story. Kat will obviously obey, despite her upset stomach. Good excerpt; thanks.
Natalie is certainly commanding, and Kat does obey. But more about that next time…
Thank you so much for stopping by.
Interesting, wonder why Kat is so upset already…excellent excerpt!
This is one of my favorite scenes…just a tiny one, but the heart of Kat and Natalie’s relationship. Thank you for visiting!
Nice, Ana!!! It makes me, as the reader, want to know what happened to get them here, and what is going to happen next! “Sit” I felt like I should have sat also! heh
OMG I must read this book!
Penelope Jones
Hah! Bad Penny does what she is told? Imagine that! Hehe. Yes, you should sit down while you still can.
Everyone who made it here before me is spot on, this is a really good snippet. Your writing is strong and you’ve put your considerable talent to good use creating a solid relationship between the pair. Kudos!
These are my two favorite characters…flawed, frustrating, and completely real.
Thank you so much for visiting! I love getting to know people. I’ll have to see how the little piggies are doing.
Natalie seems strong. I could feel all of it. Great snippet and can’t wait to read more. I’ll be back next week.
Natalie is nothing if not strong. I will show some more of these two next week.
Thank you!
Why isn’t it March 6th yet? Let’s see… 17 days? That leaves much too much time for me to get into trouble between now and then.
It’s been such a long wait, and now I’m scared! It’s too soon! The book isn’t perfect yet! Ack!
But I hope that you like it, even if it’s not perfect.
Well, I already know I like it.
Books are never going to be “perfect,” anyway!
It’s interesting to me to read the comments here from everyone who hasn’t read (some of) it!
Yes, it’s been such a long time that some people have only seen a few snippets (or only this snippet). Biting my nails here. I hope everyone loves Kat and Natalie as much as I do.
I remember this scene– and of course everyone will love them!
From your mouth to readers’ ears!
I’m sensing some parental issues? Good thing she has a friend to support her!
Oh, absolutely. Who *doesn’t* have parental issues, after all?
Natalie will support Kat whether she wants it or not. Thanks for visiting!
Sweet and poignant snippet, Ana. Nicely done.
Thank you so much, Siobhan. I won’t be able to visit blogs until a bit later today, but I look forward to reading everyone’s.
I love these snippets, Ana, and this really is a wonderful scene. But I sort of wish you weren’t posting them – they’re making March 6th seem so far away!
Wow, look who’s commenting! So great to see you here.
Far away to you…and scarily close for me. I’m sending all of my psychic energies into a message, “Please let people like Kat and Natalie, please please please”…though for you I send a message that says, “It’s okay if you don’t like Natalie”.
Oh, this may have to be the first book i read on my new kindle!
Oh, wow!! I would be absolutely thrilled. Can’t wait for you to get your Kindle!
Enjoyed this Ana, thank you. Natalie has such a commanding presence, made me “sit” and take notice! LoL Roll on March 6!
Hugs,
Roz
Hehe..better sit while you can, right?
Hope that you enjoy March 6th…I will be terrified, i think!
Love the underlying tension here. Captivating eight. More please.
Next week, I promise! Plus on March 6th you can have the entire book! Thank you for visiting.
wonderful characterizations and relationship
Sounds like Kat does NOT expect anything approving from her parents.
I remember this part from the blog. This was sweet and touching. March 6th is getting closer!
can’t wait!
Wow, I’m totally curious about why this makes her so uncomfortable, especially if sharing is optional. Great 8!
Powerful snippet! Really hooked me and guarantees that I will be back next week for more!
Ugh! I would be so, no really, don’t look my way, I don’t want to share. I’d have an upset stomach too!
Oh not sure how I missed this! Wonderful except! Looking forward to March 6th!
Me, too! Hope that you like Kat and Nat as much as you liked Mira and Vennie.
