Since it's the holiday season (and because I'm not happy with anything I've written lately) I decided to post from my historical rural romance novella, Snowflakes & Beeswax which is a holiday story set during the Georgian period.Make sure you take the time to check out the official WeWriWa list to see what participating authors have posted. It's quite a selection!
Madelyn wrapped her mittened hand
around his gloved one when he reached her side and stared at the downed tree she'd selected as her Yule Log. “It’s right over here. Do
you think we’ll be able to get the sleigh here? Even cut, the log will be too heavy to carry any distance.”
Oliver
didn’t know if it was the way her eyes seemed to glitter or the excitement
radiating
A few weeks ago, if someone had told him wandering through the woods and gathering the things needed for the Christmas celebration with a farmer’s daughter would be the most fun he’d ever had he would have laughed at them. But today, with the snow starting to fall again while he sawed a large chunk of the fallen tree for the Yule log and Madelyn gathered Mistletoe and evergreen boughs, he thought there wasn’t anything he’d enjoyed more.
Thanks for taking the time to read my snippet!
A very Christmassy snippet, indeed! You should definitely be happy with what you've written, Jess.

ReplyDeleteThanks. The book is far from perfect, but I'm still pretty proud of it.

ReplyDeleteLovely excerpt for the holidays! Felt like I was out in the snow with them....
ReplyDeleteThis snippet couldn't be any sweeter. Takes me right back to a different simple time when life was less chaotic.
