Story: Graveyard Girl, part 2 of 6
MY PHONE rang and Bruce’s name came up on the screen. I connected the call.
“Hi, Bruce.”
“You’re going to love me.”
“I already love you,” I said patiently. “For believing that Curtis had nothing to do with my books.”
“You’re going to love me even more when you hear what I’ve done for you.”
I was wary. “Okay.”
“Based on the first three chapters, I got the buyer for Clifton’s to agree to order three times as many books as she normally would.”
I grinned. “That’s amazing!”
“If you get the book to me by the end of November.”
I stopped grinning. “That might be pushing it.”
“With that kind of incentive, I know you’ll make it happen.”
I swallowed hard. “I’ll try.”
“Don’t try, Darling. Do. Else people might start believing your boyfriend’s posts that he was the one who wrote the books.” He ended the call.
