I’ve been busy working on the next story in the Naked For Her Art series. The latest addition is called The Naked Violinist and tells of a music student who’s trying to cover her tuition fees by busking outside of the concert hall. After a series of events she ends up with an offer she finds very hard to refuse.
“Do we get to choose?” he asked.
“For five pounds? Absolutely. As long as it’s for solo violin, of course.”
“No, I mean for fifty pounds. Do we get to choose what you take off?”
I felt suddenly embarrassed, remembering what Trinity had written beneath my own little request message.
“Oh, I’m sorry, a friend wrote that there. For a joke.”
He tilted his head and the note began to head back to his wallet. It was only then that I saw that, yes, it really was a fifty pound note.
“Yes, sorry…” I said quickly, “It’s fine. But you don’t get to choose.”
My eyes were on the note. That was a week’s money in one tip!
“How much would I have to give you if I wanted to choose?” he asked with a half smile.
“It… depends what you’d choose, I guess,” I said nervously.
“I’m just joking,” he said, suddenly relaxing and dropping the fifty pounds into my case. “It was my wife’s idea.”
The book will be out soon and listed on my Amazon author’s page.
