51 Love
by Jeremy T. Ringfield
GENRE: New
Adult Contemporary Romantic Suspense
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
This
story is about Abram, a hopeless romantic who enrolls into college and begins
leaving love notes for the girl, Jec, who works at the front desk of his
student apartments. About why they know each other when neither have even met.
That's right, she had seen his face only two weeks earlier, when he tossed his
book bag in the middle of the street, holding up traffic like a mad homeless
man. But what she doesn't know is that just before he came to grab his keys to
move in, the handsome albeit strange eyes and the person they belong to had
just been released from the county jail.
The
jail cell talk without any cameras around to record make his last 51 minutes in
the pen with a sketchy bunkmate a do or die conversation that may explain why
he became homeless, why he wrote the love letters in the first place, and if
both were random at all.

EXCERPT:
Chapter
9
The
same day in August, 2015
I
think, for the price of a pizza, the experience of the novel is priceless.
A
literary ecstasy, this was not a book I wanted to lend. I had to have it.
My
co-worker interjects my thoughts, “Is that lighter fluid? What is he burning
out there in our fire pit? I’m telling you Jec, that dude killed somebody. You
haven’t seen him around as long as I have. The way he’s always scrunching his
face, looking like a stone cold killer with all that stinking thinking. Some
people struggle with who they really are. And when it goes foul, you know they
don’t always catch these people.”
He
picks up and holds out the book I am reading titled Wait For You, and says,
“Some novels you have to read twice to really see all the beauty in the
nuances, but these plots don’t always end beautifully Jec. You should start
reading more of them.”
I
take a bite out of an apple and stop scratching my thumb across a squiggled
smear on my permanent marker to look out the window as I reply to my front desk
co-receptionist, “Bobby, you’re being ridiculous. It just looked like he pulled
some papers from a box and threw them into the pit. Hey, where’d he go?”
Bobby
answers quickly, “No really, have you seen him using his hands on the street?
He’s probably practicing some lethal judo that nobody knows right now.
Hi-yah!—”
Ding-Ding.
At
the sound of the front door bell I tried to smother my giggle in
professionalism, but I no longer found it necessary to suppress as the blurry
silhouette of the person entering the front door became clear and my laughter
came to a sudden halt.

Talking with author Jeremy T Ringfield!
Talking with author Jeremy T Ringfield!
Can you describe your dream home?
I
live simple, so it wouldn’t be much. Just enough to continue writing with a
great view. I want to have a house on the side of one of these mountains out
here in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
If we were to come to your house for a meal, what would you give us to
eat?
My favorite,
meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and green peas. Yum! And you have to mix them all
together!
Tell us about the absolute BEST fan letter you have received.
As
vulnerable as I feel right now, I can say that I hope to receive one by the
time this is posted. I would hope that my readership can find me very
approachable. After all, I could not be a writer with out you.
Say your publisher has offered to fly you anywhere in the world to do
research on an upcoming book, where would you most likely want to go?
If I were to
write books that required more research, I would love to fly to Greece.
Who designed the book cover for the book you are touring?
I did.
