Author Bio
Rose
Shababy and her family reside in eastern Washington State. Rose grew up
in the Northwest but swears she’s going to move to warmer climates
someday. She’s claimed this for over 20 years, however, and has yet to
move more than 75 miles away from her mother.
Rose
has a deep love of all things Star Trek and yearns to travel the
heavens, as well as an intense desire to be bitten by a radioactive
spider. Unfortunately she sucks at science and math so she hasn’t been
able bring her dreams to life, instead living vicariously through books,
comics, television and film. She hopes to someday make a million
dollars so she can afford to buy her way to the international space
station, but she’d settle for being able to fly around the world and
leap tall buildings in a single bound.
Rose
also loves to cook and worked for years in a gourmet Italian grocery
and deli where she learned to hone her skills. She prepares culinary
masterpieces for her family, but fervently wishes the dishes would wash
themselves. Especially now that her dishwashers/children are nearly
grown and only one still lives at home.
Rose
likes to use her free time wisely. For instance, she likes to daydream,
will often read for hours until she falls asleep on the couch with an
electric blanket and a warm tabby cat curled up on her hip, as well as
spending cozy weekend days watching Syfy movies like Sharknado and Mega
Piranha with her husband.
If
Rose were a cartoon animal, she’d prefer to be a wise old owl or a
sleek and sexy jaguar, but in reality she’d probably be a myopic mole
with coke-bottle glasses.

“Kasey,” I yelled
stupidly, knowing it wouldn’t do any good but unable to stop myself. “Kasey,
where are you?”
I burst through
another door to find the bathroom, a layer of steam frozen in the air. I pulled
the curtain back without even thinking about who might be in the shower, and
slumped with relief when I found Kasey. He held a washcloth to his face as a
stream of water rained down on him, frozen in place.
“Kasey,” I breathed
happily, and reached out to grab his hand.
As I touched him, the
same spark I always felt when we made contact erupted and the world came to
life again. Water spewed all over me, soaking my clothes, spilling over onto the
floor, but I didn’t care.
Kasey startled and
yelped a little when he saw me. He recovered quickly. “Blue? What happened?”
I smiled, my tears
mixing with the hot water from the shower as I launched myself at him, hugging
him tightly. He smiled back and wrapped his arms around
me.
Thank god I found you!
I thought. “I’m so glad you’re here,” I whispered in his ear.
“I knew you would come
back,” he whispered back, just before his lips found mine.
