Since I am not traveling (!), my podcast returns this week. This is early in a romantic suspense story. Yes, there's only the suspense right now. The romance part will arrive a little later. Maybe next week. We will see.
Hope you enjoy this small glimpse of the story.

The Transcript:
This is 60 Seconds of Writing in Public with Johanna Rothman for November 14, 2025, where I read an excerpt of just a minute of some writing in progress.
I’m back from my travels, so I have time to both write and record!
This is part of a romantic suspense story.
Without looking as if she was rushing, Liz Daniels turned right, apparently to walk down the corridor to the Ladies’ Room in the Burlington Mall, just northwest of Boston, Massachusetts. She stopped just after she turned the corner and pulled off her black spring jacket. She turned it inside out. Now, the light blue side was showing.
She pulled out a Red Sox white ball cap from her right jacket pocket and crammed it down over her short dark curls. Then, she pulled out her dark sunglasses and perched them on the top of her nose.
As disguises went, it wasn’t much. But it should be enough to forestall the people following her. They wouldn’t see her dark blue jeans or her black sneakers. They would only see her light blue jacket and white ball cap.
