For someone who doubted she would even be able to write short, it’s a kinda big deal.<\/p>\n

Anyway, here’s the blurb:\"A<\/p>\n

A boy\u2026a girl\u2026a spaceship\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

A collection of stories about a lost love, a stolen spacecraft, and life on the run.<\/p>\n

Gia Solari has never forgotten the day that Del Morehouse flew out of her life.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, he stole a ship to do it.<\/p>\n

Even worse, that ship was the Peregrine, a one-of-a-kind experimental craft loaded with patented tech that its owners would like returned, please. They always believed Gia knew what Del planned, and now, after five long years, they\u2019ve come after her again with a simple request: tell us where Del Morehouse is, or we will destroy your life.<\/p>\n

Gia doesn\u2019t know where Del is. But she wants to find him, too. Because he\u2019s in danger. And she still loves him.<\/p>\n

Del Morehouse had his reasons for stealing the Peregrine, the sorts of reasons that only made sense to another pilot. She was beautiful. Handled like a dream. At times, it even seemed like she communicated with him.<\/p>\n

He had no idea. But he would soon find out.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s the ship herself. Her nickname is Perry, and she\u2019s full of surprises.<\/p>\n
