The Lost War Hero

Here is a selection from my third book the Lost War Hero in the Marrissa Tomas series...


"I'll be with you in a minute sir."
Mr. Bank's starred at the stranger for a moment and then, hurried himself to the back room where the phone was ringing.
"Hello? Oh hi Mrs. Periwinkle yeah I can do that...."
The man didn't look familiar to either Jenny or Marrissa. He hat a black on, like a business hat, and a black suit on.
"I wonder where he came from?"
"Hello girls. Having a nice day?"
Marrissa looked at the man, he looked like he was about in his sixties, if he was any older, he hid it well.
But, she wasn't the one who answered. Jenny did.
"We're fine. Beg our pardon sir, but what... where are you from?"
"JENNY! That is too personal!" Marrissa wanted to yell at her friend, but the man was laughing hearty and answered.
"I'm from New York City. Ever been there?"
"No, but I've been to Maine."
"Well, that is pretty close to my home. What about you?"
"Me? Oh no, the only place I've ever been outside of Colorado... really even my town is Minnesota to visit my cousins."
"Ah, what are your names?"
Marrissa wasn't sure if she should answer it or not. She did.
"I'm Marrissa and this is Jenny."
"Well, I'm Mr. Greensworth. I'm glad to see that you people here are friendly."
Jenny smiled. She was always glad when people were happy with the small town. And, it's people.
"We're glad to be happy."
Mr. Greensworth laughed and laughed. Marrissa had a chuckle too.
"Glad to be happy, hm Jenny I'm thinkin' your vocab needs to be extended."
Mr. Banks came back in and started to make the banana splits for the girls. Not even glancing at the man called Mr. Greensworth.
"So, how are your folks Jenny?"
"There great. Daddy just left for a trip for work and will be comin' home in 'bout a week."
"Well that's good to hear. Where he go?"
"Um, I think it was Florida again. Company was started there. The head quarters are down there too."
"Good, what 'bout you Marrissa? How's your dad?"
"He's good. Keepin' busy with all our quarter horses."
"He always did love them quarter quarter horses didn't he?"
"Yup."
He handed them their order.
"Thanks."
"Yeah, thanks."
The two took bites of their order and smiled. They always loved coming here. The ice cream just seemed different than the stuff at the general store ice cream counter stuff. Neither of them knew why.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is part of the first chapter, I don't have much written of this one yet. But I'd like it if you told me if you liked it or not. Thanks!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you had a joyful and happy one! I sure did! I bet I had the horsiest Christmas ever! I got new riding boots, riding gloves, breeches (Those are like leggings) and... A SADDLE OF MY OWN!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it. I was so happy that I got that so now I can't wait until my next riding lesson and show my instructor all my new riding gear! My family also got my brothers a 3-1 game table. It has air hockey (Our fave), pool, and ping pong (We are all REALLY bad at that one. lol) Christmas is a wonderful time of year and something that I got the chance to do this year was very exciting. At my church I was asked to play my harp infront of the congragation on Christmas eve! At first I wasn't sure if I could let alone would. I was so nervous. But I did decide to do so. I played Away In A Manger and Silent Night. Everyone loved it, and even though I was shaking with nervousness I didn't really mess up that much. My mom said that no one could have noticed if I even did. They want me back next year too. It was the biggest group I've played for before which made it scary. Also, it took awhile for them to find out how to mic a harp. :) My Christmas was the best ever! How was yours?

The Lost War Hero
Marrissa is back! This time, in the third book! Marrissa and the gang are almost done with the school year!
They are all planning what they are going to do. Also, their town is celebrating all the war hero's from their town.
Marrissa and Sarah are looking through some of the records in the town hall, and find out that Mr. Banks, the ice cream
shop owner, is a old war hero! But, when they ask him about it, he denies he was ever in the war. Are the documents a
fake, or is Mr. MAJOR Banks, hiding something he doesn't want to tell people... or remember.
