One Good Turn by Amber Green

Amber Green explains how when writing, nothing turns out like we expect it to,  particularly her Turner & Turner series.  And the opening lines of One Good Turn aren’t what anyone might be expecting. Read on:

My first non-paranormal contemporary story started like this:

“Be sensible, Kendall,” my mother said in the patient tone that can drive me to a seething rage in three seconds flat. “In the video you are, to put it crudely, tanked.”

To put it even more crudely, I’d been tanked enough to let a guy I’d been stupid enough to trust – for a few months anyway – ream my ass until I gave in to his exhortations to squeal like a pig.

The video ended, with a curious delicacy, while I was still just bleating: Ah! Ah!

Helpless noises. An aural demonstration of my pathetic, nonpredatory status. But not as bad as the next moments would have been.

“You must agree to counseling.”

I cleared my throat. “Certainly, Mother. Have you already identified someone willing to help with your unseemly interest in the details of your adult son’s sexuality?”

One Good Turn http://www.mlrbooks.com/ShowBook.php?book=TTONE001 was to have been the first novella in a set of three, which I expected to see released at roughly four-month intervals.  Real life didn’t follow that schedule.  Two years later, the second book, Turncoat was released; the third, Turnabout, should be available in the same places around the end of May or early June. Meanwhile, one of the characters also appeared in The Golden Boys, a fluffy dick-lit beach read that is currently being reworked, and I’m drafting a related short story, a prequel, from Turner Scott’s POV.
