Thanks for stopping by. With the holidays coming up, I'm sure a lot of us can use a reminder why our families aren't so bad.
Today my six come from my short story Dessert First (which is on sale right now).
“It’s still early. I’m sure you’ll find some way to embarrass me.” Her mother glanced down to Alexis's dress, then back up at her eyes. “More than you already have.”
Alexis ran her hand over the ribbon around the her waist of the dress. After tonight, the outfit would be condemned to the back of the closet with the rest of the clothes she’d bought for her mother’s parties.
Stop by and visit all the other participating authors. Seriously, they rock!

I felt so bad for Alexis in this story, and I love how she rebels. Great six!
Totally hooked! ;) Great six!
Moms can be so hard to please sadly.
Awww, I feel for her. But I like her dress...
love this! and that cover...men who cook are a real fetish of mine...must go read this one.
She deserves better and I'm almost certain you give her that before this is over.
Terrific description of their dysfunctional relationship.
Great title and great cover, too!
why is it Validation from our mothers is what we really want in life. thank God all mothers are not like her's
Ooh. I really like it! Great six!
Sometimes, you just have to ignore the mother. Sad but true. :-) Nice cover!
Sounds like mother and daughter don't have the best relationship. :(
Ouch. Quite a dig from mom. I feel for her, especially that she feels bad enough to banish the dress. :(
Yow. I so hope someone will remind Alexis that she doesn't need her viper-mom's approval. Poor sweetie.
fascinating snippet. Well done.
Yikes, the mother sounds like a right cow. Great snippet!
Ouch, this mother needs an attitude adjustment right now. Thanks for sharing. :)
Tension, always interesting when there's a mother/daughter divide. Makes me curious as to the backstory but will be interesting to see what happens next! Excellent excerpt!
aww, I feel bad for her.
Ha! I think Alexis and I are related. (laughs) Great six!
*sigh* Nothing like dear old mom sometimes...
