Exchanging Pleasantries
Synopsis:
Exchanging Pleasantries begins in a fictional version of a town known as Beverly Massachusetts and takes a trip to the streets of New York City where MC takes a chance at re-arranging his life-style by fibbing to his long time companions about a job offer concerning his life’s dream, writing.
He lands in what becomes a new world of all work, chasing dreams, and exchanging pleasantries with a mixture of new found characters.
It is a fun, feel good taste of the North East with a sprinkle of romance and a dash of racial tension.
Book Excerpt:
“Why is that?” MC appears to be put out. “What other reason could you have for not sleeping with me?” “Oh don’t do this to me again Dangie.” On one hand her crush makes it difficult for him to pack up and leave. On the other hand getting away might just be what their relationship needs. “And how’d you get such a silly name anyway? Dangie?” “You’re the bozo that gave me that name. My name is Angie, not Dangie.” “Oh yea, that’s right.” MC begins to walk down the sidewalk. Dangie follows. “Look, it’s not gonna be forever. And it’s not even that far.” “Can I visit you there?” “Let’s not push it.” “I always wanted to see New York.” “I probably won’t have room for guests.” “New York. The city that never sleeps.” “Yea, sleeping arrangements might be tough.” “They say it’s the greatest city in the world.” “I’ll give you a call after I settle in.” “At least hold onto this.” She pulls a picture out of her purse. “Look at it when you miss me.” It is a picture of Dangie sitting on a large rock in front of a lake.
