WeWriWa Febuary 7th-Rendezvous with Destiny


It's time for the Weekend Writing Warrior blog hop, which provides you with an excellent opportunity to read snippets from some extremely talented writers.

My snippet comes from my WWII rural historical romance novella, Rendezvous with Destiny.


        Startled by the force of her reaction, Rosika leaned against Theo’s truck and drew in one deep breath after another and waited for the sensation to pass.
        Theo caught her eye.
       “We still need to talk,” he mouthed.
         Rosika feigned ignorance and straightened. 
        “Felicia, always a pleasure to see you,” her sweet tone almost masked the underlying sarcasm.       
        “Theo’s looking forward to having a good time tonight. I’m sure I can trust you to make sure his wish is fulfilled.”
          A wide smile spread across Felicia’s face, “I’ll do my best,”

    Uh-oh, Rosika seems mad! (cool name, by the way) I love how snippy she is. Great eight!

    Why do I have the feeling she's not buying what he's selling? Lots of tension in this scene. :)

    Snippy women are always amusing. And in this segment, it makes the reader wonder what's going to happen to her.

      I'm glad you like it. When I read through this snippet prior to posting it, I realized just how much Rosika resembles me. Luckily, I'm a little better than Rosika about curbing my thoughts before they burst out of my mouth ... at least some of them time.

    I felt the sarcasm, and I hope good vibes will spread on these women.

    I like Rosika's presence of mind in this trying situation. Another excellent excerpt and I really felt as if I was there, listening.
