Far from Ordinary

By Jenna Byrnes

Coming Together's Hors d'Oeuvres are single story treats taken from the anthologies and sold as appetizers. Finger food, if you will, for the libido.

Jenna Byrnes' "Far from Ordinary" comes from Coming Together: Into the Light which benefits V-Day.

Luke Mason is tired of his life in Ordinary, Kentucky. On his way south to Florida and excitement, he encounters a beautiful, wanton waitress in a roadside diner who teaches him a few things about life. Sometimes excitement isn't all it's cracked up to be... and there are worse things than Ordinary. (M/F, CONTEMPORARY, PARANORMAL)

Jenna Byrnes

Jenna Byrnes could use more cabinet space and more hours in a day. She’d fill the kitchen with gadgets her husband purchases off TV and let him cook for her to his heart’s content. She’d breeze through the days adding hours of sleep, and more time for writing the hot, erotic romance she loves to read. Jenna thinks everyone deserves a happy ending, and loves to provide as many of those as possible to her gay, lesbian and hetero characters. Her favorite quote, from a pro-gay billboard, is “Be careful who you hate. It may be someone you love.” For the latest news, visit Jenna’s blog at http://jennabyrnes.blogspot.com/ and her website at http://www.jennabyrnes.com/ .

It was so hot, the trees were whistling for dogs. It was so hot, birds had to use potholders to pull worms from the ground. The lonely rural highway took him through Tennessee into Georgia, and Luke Mason passed the time by thinking of lame clichés. He'd been on the road six hours, making pretty good time from Kentucky, and had at least another six hours ahead to put him into Florida. He lost the last radio station hours ago, and the tape player in his '85 Le Baron had long since stopped working. Luke lowered one hand to the car seat and snapped it up again. It's so
