WeWriWa Snippet from The Chocolate House - All for Love - Anthology: "Masqueraders" 3/8/15

Last fall I was able to take part in an opportunity to participate in creating content for a historical anthology. Just a few days, the results of my labor went public in a book titled

The Chocolate House - All for Love - Anthology: "Masqueraders". My contribution is a short story titled A Pig in a Poke which is where today's snippet comes from. The snippet is the first 8 lines from my story. Please be sure that you take a little time to check out the list of brilliant writers taking place in this weeks Weekend Writers Blog Hop. You'll be amazed by the number of talented authors you'll encounter.

Simon Harper rubbed his neck and scanned the piece of paper one more time. He hoped the words had changed since the previous reading.  Luck wasn’t on his side. The blasted message remained the same. 

Simon,

Meet me at Masqueraders Chocolate House at 1:00 pm: no excuses

Sincerely,

Sebastian

Simon glanced at the tidy stack of ledgers piled on one side of his desk and heaved a sigh. He would far rather sort through the complicated tangle of numbers left by the previous proprietor than meet with his older brother.

The Chocolate House - All for Love - Anthology: "Masqueraders" is only $0.99 via Amazon and the proceeds are going to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, London.
