Jason and the earthquake
Jason is Maxie’s boyfriend. At least he thinks he’s Maxie’s boyfriend. To tell the truth, their relationship is going through a crisis. Jason was working late at his office when the earthquake hit hard. Really hard. When Jason finds himself trapped with a pretty lady, well, life is real, isn’t it? Jason doesn’t think of Maxie at all. Maxie, when she thinks of him at all, thinks he must be excited and taking measurements of the earthquake. He’s an earthquake expert. He’s even written a book about earthquakes and provided earthquake kits for his office. I hope everyone likes chocolate. That’s the only food Jason has in the kit.
So, I’m working on both characters as they deal with the earthquake. Both are hurt. Both need help, but only Jason has company. Maxie must work through the earthquake alone.
This is a fun chapter to write. I hope the readers will like it – if and when I finish the book.
I have told a lot of the plot on MySpace so if you’ve been following that, be patient because I need to tell the story here as well.
