The Sassy Sunday Story Starter (Writing Prompt)

I'm a little late uploading today's feature, as I was merrily decorating the Christmas tree, singing Christmas carols and generally getting into the festive spirit, when I remembered I hadn't published this post... 

For all you authors and aspiring writers out there, here is the Sassy Sunday Story Starter, brought to you by author Bill Cady

"I probably should've killed her."

That's the first line of Bill's book: What's Love Got To Do With It?  

Ben Dover, once homeless now multimillionaire, meets Yoki, who's a nightmare, and gets murdered with his gun. The gun's found on a drug dealer he slapped around. He has no alibi. Hounded by cops, the other conflict is a teen Mexicana. The girl, Fancy, finds a tape to prove who the killer was. At the arrest, Ben and Fancy get in a gun battle & Ben's a hero. Fancy saves Ben 'cause he's her guy.
