With the end of a gray colored pencil between my teeth, I stare down at the panel I’ve been working on and consider the expression on the hero’s face.
Reaching for my favorite mug sitting beside me, smelling of lovely chai tea, I pluck the pencil from my mouth and trade it for a sip of tea. I hold the mug in front of me, looking at it as if I haven’t memorized every inch of it a thousand times over—the chip on the rim just over the handle, the faded image of one of my first characters drawn on the front with a silly caption. It was Paul’s favorite mug. I got it for him for our first wedding anniversary, and he refused to drink out of anything else. He said one day that mug would be worth millions.
My chest aches with a familiar longing. You’d think after five years it would be easier to think of him, but here I am with a lump in my throat and new cracks forming in my heart at the sight of his damn mug.
I set my tea down and push my papers away, getting up from my desk to stretch my legs. I’m way ahead of schedule anyway; a little break won’t hurt anything. Not that getting behind schedule would be a huge issue either. My graphic novels sell so well, my publisher bends over backward to kiss my ass.
Another pang starts in my chest. No one believed in me more than Paul did, but I didn’t land my agent until the year after he died. He never got to see the success he was such a huge part of.
Apparently, this is going to be one of those days where Paul’s ghost haunts every single one of my thoughts. Some days I hardly think of him at all, and then I realize I haven’t thought of him all day and feel sick with guilt. I know it’s not how he would want me to feel, but no matter what I do, I can’t let go of all the what-ifs and wishful thinking.
Author K.M.Neuhold is a complete romance junkie, a total sap in every way. She started her journey as an author in new adult, MF romance, but after a chance reading of an MM book she was completely hooked on everything about lovely- and sometimes damaged- men finding their Happily Ever After together. She has a strong passion for writing characters with a lot of heart and soul, and a bit of humor as well. And she fully admits that her OCD tendencies of making sure every side character has a full backstory will likely always lead to every book having a spin-off or series. When she’s not writing she’s a lion tamer, an astronaut, and a superhero…just kidding, she’s likely watching Netflix and snuggling with her husky while her amazing husband brings her coffee.
Congrats on your new book release! It sounds intriguing!
