![]() Excerpt: We climbed into the ute and Travis drove, only mumbling under his breath once or twice about what side of the road he was on. I thought we were headed to find something to eat, but he pulled up at a pet store. “What are we doing?” “You’ll see,” was all he said as he was getting out. I followed him into the pet shop, past the puppies, fish and birds down to the kennels and produce. When he stopped at cat beds, I shook my head. “Oh, no no no. We’re not getting a cat.

R. Walker![]() Author Bio: Who am I? Good question… I am many things: a mother, a wife, a sister, a writer. I have pretty, pretty boys who live in my head, who don't let me sleep at night unless I give them life with words. I like it when they do dirty, dirty things… but I like it even more when they fall in love. I used to think having people in my head talking to me was weird, until one day I happened across other writers who told me it was normal. I've been writing ever since… Find NR Walker on Facebook: Facebook: N.r. Walker Facebook Fan Page: N.R.
