Six Sentence Sunday – Venus In Blue Jeans
June 24, 2012
This week I’m giving you six from Venus In Blue Jeans, the first Konigsburg novel. Cal, my hero, is getting ready to dance with Docia, my heroine, and realizing once again how much he loves the Texas Hill Country–and Docia too, of course.
Cal was drunk. His head swam, his words slurred, the lights blended into a single flash above his head. In some part of his mind, he was vaguely amazed to be so far gone since he’d only had a single beer cup from the beverage stand. He was drunk on fiddle music, drunk on warm night air, drunk on the sounds of laughter and the jibes of his friends.
Drunk on Docia.
Most of all, he was drunk on Docia.

The best kind of drunk! Great six.
Thanks!
Lovely six — I lovely how he’s realizing why he feels the way he does. 🙂
Thank you, Donna!
He seems to be a happy drunk! I think I’ll go have a drink!
Be my guest, Patricia!
Awwww. I love this six. Nothing grabs your heart like a man who’s not afraid he’s bowled over by a woman. Well done.
Oh, I like that. A lot!
Great snippet, it flowed beautifully!
Thanks, y’all. It was my first book.
Love the fiddle reference!
Well, there’s a fiddler at the dance.
Wonderful description. He sounds like he’s really gone. Great six!
Thanks, everybody!
