The Queen of Emerald Falls
by
J.J. DiBenedetto
Genre:
Romantic Comedy
He's calm and controlled and always has the perfect
thing to say in every situation.
If their differing personalities were the only
obstacle, they'd probably have smooth sailing. Unfortunately, things aren't
that simple in the town of Emerald Falls, and life keeps throwing curveballs at
Sheryl Jones and Dr. Jon Hardy.
If they're going to find true love, they'll have to
deal with Sheryl's archenemy trying to destroy her business, and Jon's
interfering brother showing up to try and ruin his life. And then there's the
vindictive daughter of the richest man in town, not to mention a stolen vintage
Rolls Royce.
Can this star-crossed couple fight their way past
all the obstacles and make their way back to each other without losing their
jobs, their sanity or going bankrupt in the meantime?
Romantic comedy fans will love this quirky mix of
"How I Met Your Mother" and a daytime soap opera.
Excerpt
from The Queen of Emerald Falls
Her mother began expanding on the tales related
in the diary. “You’re going to let me tell it, right, Doc?”
“I will only chime in with corrections or
supplementary details." Ariel imagined there were going to be a
lot of those.
“Fine, Doc. corrections and details
only. So let me set the stage. It was the spring of
1994. Bill Clinton was President, and the governor was…well, it
doesn’t really matter, he doesn’t come into it anyway, I was just creating the
mood. Bill Clinton, and The Lion King, that was 1994, right,
Doc?" Her father shrugged.
He did that a lot. “And the Olympics, right? The crazy figure skater, the one who hit the
other one with a lead pipe? Tanya
Tucker, wasn’t that her name?”
Now her father sighed. He did that a lot, too. “Tanya Tucker is a country singer, Sheryl.”
“Oh, right,” her mother said. “I knew that.
’Stand By Your Man.’” She almost
sang the words, producing another sigh from her father.
“Tammy Wynette sang that. Tanya Tucker sang,” her father paused for a
moment, clearly trying, and failing, to recall a song Tanya Tucker had
sung. It was strange to see him come up
empty; that almost never happened.
“Well, I’m sure she sang a lot of songs, but that’s neither here nor
there. You were thinking of Tonya
Harding, and it was her boyfriend who actually hit the other skater with a lead
pipe.”
“Whatever.
Like I said, I’m just setting the mood.
The Lion King, and Bill Clinton, and Tonya Harding, and wasn’t Fraiser
on TV? You used to get so annoyed at
that show, Doc.”
This time her father growled. “Must you mention that miserable program? It made a mockery of my profession! Fraiser Crane was completely unrepresentative of a practicing psychiatrist, and his brother was even worse! It should never have been allowed on the air!”
Moving on,” her mother said breezily, “Spring of 1994. Bill Clinton, The Lion King, Tonya Harding, Fraiser, and then there we were, me and your father…”
