Permanent Spring Showers
by Scott D. Southard
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Professor
Rebecca Stanley-Wilson is having a very bad season. The ramifications of one torrid evening with
one of the great upcoming painters of his generation, will not only be felt
across her life but over the entire art world. Sexy, funny, and very
surprising, Permanent Spring Showers is the tale of one very memorable
springtime and how it impacts a group of unique artists and dreamers. From the
the hopeful Olympian with the failing marriage to the writer who is creating a
new literary movement (through outright manipulation) to the romantic wondering
what he did wrong to drive away the love of his life, each tale walks the line
between reality and fantasy. And waiting at the end of the line is a very
important painting... and possibly the revolver used in the Lincoln
Assassination.

EXCERPT:
“What
are you thinking? She’s an escort!”
“I’m
in love, Steve. After sitting through the first twenty minutes of this lunch,
it’s obvious you certainly still remember what that feeling is like.” He pushed
his plate forward.
"But
Clark…” I began.
He
interrupted, “And it’s not like she wants to do that her entire life, Steve, if
that is what is troubling you. She is doing it to pay for college.”
I
stopped, the car of my mind shifting gears again. “Wait, did you say ‘is’? Do
you mean she is still doing it?”
“Well,
times are tough all over,” Clark replied far too calmly for my taste. “Have you
seen college tuition rates this year?”
“And
she’s really in college?” I asked, shocked. I began to wonder if I was on one
of those TV shows and a camera was hidden in a bush nearby me.
My
shock was perfectly mirrored by the opposite reflection of the casualness of my
brother.
“You
didn’t think I would marry an idiot did you, Steve? I need to be mentally
challenged, you know that. She is studying education; her dream’s to teach
third graders.”
“You’re
engaged to a hooker…”
“Escort,”
he corrected quickly for a third time.
“Oh,
I’m sorry,” I said sarcastically. “You are engaged to an active escort who
wants to be an elementary school teacher?”
“Yes,”
Clark said with a dramatic point across the table at me. “And Steve, this is
where you come in. You need to help me introduce her to mom and dad.”
