Now...onto my six. Last week, Delilah pulled Led Zeppelin III out of her milk crate of records, which surprised Sam, because she's never done that remix in public. What she pulls out of the cover is not Zeppelin.
She flipped one of her blue vinyl sample discs between her hands and put it on the right hand platter, then put the other on the left. Everything Delilah did from this point on was a mystery to Sam, and he backed away as Adam took a step toward her. She dropped her headphones, listened, chatted, gestured, and even flirted. Adam answered her with a nod, a grin, and a “a’ight.” She put their headphones back on and returned to her laptop. He lifted his left speaker to his ear, held it with his shoulder and continued beat-matching, having no clue of the compliment he had just been paid.

Congrats on the contract! It's surreal, isn't it?! And great six: it sounds like Delilah is someone to be reckoned with and Sam knows it. Not sure about Adam yet.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm dying to read Virgo---it's hooked me from the first six!
Many congrats on the contract - and that kind of surreal delight never goes away, however many contracts you get in the future.
ReplyDeleteIntriguing six, I'm wondering what Delilah's up to!
Congrats on your contract. Is this the first for you? They always seem to send the author to dizzying heights of euphoria...to OMG what if they hate it. But if this six is any indication, I'm gonna say you'll have a winner on your hands.

Grats on the contract! Everything you're feeling is normal. Good job with your six!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! And great scene, I could totally picture it and I like how it's throwing Sam off balance...
ReplyDeleteI find it intriguing that Sam steps back and Adam steps up. Interesting dichotomy between their responses.
ReplyDeleteAnd hooray for the contract! Congratulations!
