is equal to the love...you make.

Well, this is it, kids. The end. The very last official Six Sentence Sunday.
My first Six Sunday post was in September of 2010, about a month before my first book, SLEEPY HOLLOW DREAMS, was published by The Wild Rose Press.
There were eight comments that day: Dee Carney and Lisa Fox were the only Six Sundayers who left comments; everyone else was from my local RWA chapter and had no idea what Six Sentence Sunday was. I didn't have much of an idea myself. I don't think there were more than 20 or so participants back then. In these last months, there have been close to 200 some weeks.

My latest book, FROST, also set in Sleepy Hollow, will be released by Decadent Publishing later this week. And I just received a contract last night for BLIZZARD, an erotic short, also from Decadent.
So it's been a fun ride. Six Sentence Sunday has been an absolute gas for me. Thank you, Sara Brookes, for the concept, the site, and all your hard work over the years.
And thanks to all of you who have stopped by here on Sundays over the years, leaving your wonderful and wonderfully encouraging comments. I live for those! And I appreciate you all more than you will ever know.
I will probably continue to post snippets on Sundays from time to time.
But I leave you -- and Six Sentence Sunday -- with six from FROST.
"But I play with fire, little girl." He stroked her arm again and the sensual burn sizzled across her skin.
She sighed in delight. Hallefreakinglujah.
His upper lip twitched into a crooked smile, and her heart performed a grand jeté worthy of a prima ballerina.
"Heard you liked bad boys," he said.

Great six, Taryn!
I only started this last fall, but it has been wonderful. I hope that someone else steps up to the plate.
Nice six.
It's been a lot of fun! I'm going to miss SSS but it was great to get to know so many wonderful authors. Terrific six!
Now that is a great note to leave Six Sunday on... with a bad boy! WOOT
Sounds like another winner, Taryn xx and grats on the upcoming release, too.
Bad boys, bad boys! Wooo!
That's going out with a bang! It's been wonderful getting to know your writing through SSS.

Hot moment! Take care Taryn hope to bump into you soon!
I LOVE this excerpt. So HOT. I want to read more this instant, which is how I usually feel about your snippets LOL. I've really enjoyed reading them every week, glad you plan to keep posting from time to time (but we'll be able to keep up on twitter, I know). Best wishes!
Hot six!!
I've been on here for about 3 years, have published a short story and after NaNo am contemplating publishing a novel. You said something to me years ago after I begged for feedback which I have kept because it was truly words of wisdom. Thank you
I can taste her excitement! Great six!
Love this 6 and the sizzling temptation. Until we meet again...
Don't we all? Great six, Taryn. I hope to see you around the interwebs now and again. :)
It's been fun! I will continue to post too! Love her reaction here, lots of sizzle...
Wow, now that's a steamy excerpt. These two are heading for some fun. Great six. :)
Bad Boys, Bad Boys, whatcha gonna do when...That's playing in my head right now. Wishing you much success with Frost! And all your other books. Will see you on Twitter and Facebook!
Let it burn, baby! I joined SSS about a month after you, and I remember buying and LOVING Sleepy Hollow Dreams as a result. Every time I go bowling, I always wonder... LOL We'll, for sure, keep in touch. :)
I love bad boys! "... her heart performed a grand jeté worthy of a prima ballerina." Excellent phrasing!!! It's been so much fun! I'm sure to see you around the 'net again, sometime!!
Oooh, who doesnt like bad boys? Fun six. Congratulions on your contracts, fab news. Wishing u all the best.
Very toasty six, Taryn!
