Under The Boardwalk: Tuesday Intro/Teaser

First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros is a weekly meme hosted by Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea every Tuesday. To participate share the opening paragraph or two of a book you've decided to read based on that paragraph. Please feel free to join in, First Chapter~First Paragraph~Tuesday Intros.

My son, Digby, began at exactly 3:02 in the morning on the first Friday in June. I don't mean his conception or his birth, I mean the moment he began for me, which happened between those two larger events. It was a start so small I almost didn't notice. I was very, very busy panicking about my job. I'd finished penciling and inking a limited series for DC Comics, the last contract standing between me and the prequel to my own graphic novel, Violence in Violet.

The Almost Sisters by Joshilyn Jackson

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Ambrosia of The Purple Booker

Unplanned pregnancy is tragic when the mom is a kid herself, but at my age some elements of comedy crept in. Shouldn't I by now know better than to drag an anonymous Batman back to my room by his utility belt?
