While I'm off playing with the kids for summer, I have Sofia Grey with us today! Please give her a warm welcome as she tours to promote her new novel, Obsession. Happy reading!
Mr and Mrs Angry
Continuing with my theme of dark
personality traits, do you know a Mr Angry? They’re everywhere! And have you
noticed, it’s often the height-challenged guys who have the biggest chips on
their (low) shoulders? Anger comes in all shapes and sizes. It takes a lot to
get me angry. I will simmer on a low burn for ages, but when I blow my top…
people scatter. My son runs for cover and my hubby sighs and braces himself for
the outburst. However, it’s usually all over pretty quickly, I don’t go in for
the lingering rows.
I’m not sure what’s worse, the furious
blazing row or the long, drawn out one. And then you get the people who hold it
bottled inside for ever, until it starts to taint their very existence.
In Obsession, Gabe Bridgewater
is fiercely controlled in all aspects of his life. Like me, it takes a lot to
push him over the edge.
I’ve made
a point of never losing control. I’ve never gotten drunk, didn’t touch drugs
and always remained aware of my surroundings. I’d become famous for it, in our
circle of friends, at least. But this…
I wanted
to hit something. Or someone. In a blaze of fury, I swept my arm across the
desktop and shoved everything onto the floor. My heart raced as though I’d run
a marathon.
My eyes
were drawn to the shattered china mug on the floor, the hot tea trickling down
the wall to join the puddle blooming on the carpet. It’s a good thing Suki had
already left for work.

So what kind of Angry Person are you?
The continuous low background grumble or the furious explosion? Leave a comments and I’ll put your name into a draw for a copy of Obsession.
Obsession is available 12 June 2013, from Time &
Tide Publishing.
