The helpful co-hosts for the March 5 posting of the IWSG are Ronel Janse Van Vuuren, Pat Garcia, and Liza @ Middle Passages! We appreciate you.
A special congratulations to Ronel Janse Van Vuren for the new release of her dark fantasy series, Smoke on the Water!
Instead of answering the optional question, I want to share the cover and blurb for my upcoming short story, Behind the Catcher’s Mask.

Who can help her through a meltdown on the pitcher’s mound?
Fast-pitch softball is Andie Wilson’s life. She’s a fierce pitcher hoping to score a college scholarship, and she hates the annoying distraction of cocky baseball players crashing her high-school charity game. But she doesn’t anticipate the impact of one baseball player: Colt Turner. As Colt stares at her through his catcher’s mask, his steadfast gaze may be just what she needs to guide her through a crisis. And Colt may need Andie, too—to cope with the secret hiding behind his mask.

I originally wrote this story for the IWSG Anthology, Masquerade: Oddly Suited. Thanks for the inspiration, IWSG and Dancing Lemur Press! I added a bonus scene and decided to self-publish the story. Because I’m reeling from a recent event in my family, I haven’t set a release date yet–hopefully late March or early April.
If you would be willing to help spread the word about this young adult sports romance, please let me know on the google form. I hope this link works as it’s been years since I created a google form?

Thank you, and happy writing!
My niece and now her daughter both played softball. I enjoyed watching a game this past summer when I was visiting NJ where they live
Best wishes on your writing.
