Blue Rose (A Flowering Novel) (19 page)

I take out my sketch pad and draw a picture of myself from a photo I take on my phone. Then, I write my first letter. It’s short and simple. I tell him
that I love him and I confirm that I’m sure. I don’t say much else, because he just left, but I slide the letter and the drawing into the envelope and stick them in the mailbox.

In my bed, I lie back and think about my life and my story. There were four men. Two were monsters, but two showed me that there can
be beauty in the darkness. And now, there is really only one. Real life doesn’t have a happily ever after and, like I said, this is no fairy tale. But it’s a story and it’s
my
story and I’m not done writing it yet.

About the Author

Sarah Daltry writes about the regular people who populate our lives. She's written works in various genres - romance, erotica, fantasy, horror. Genre isn't as important as telling a story about people and how their lives unfold. Sarah tends to focus on YA/NA characters but she's been known to shake it up. Most of her stories are about relationships - romantic, familial, friendly - because love and empathy are the foundation of life. It doesn't matter if the story is set in contemporary NY, historical Britain, or a fantasy world in the future - human beings are most interesting in the ways they interact with others. This is the principle behind all of Sarah's stories.

Sarah has spent most of her life in school, from her BA and MA in English and writing to teaching both at the high school and college level. She also loves studying art history and really anything because learning is fun.

When Sarah isn't writing, she tends to waste a lot of time checking Facebook for pictures of cats, shooting virtual zombies, and simply staring out the window.
