#WeWriWa Snippet for August 9 2015

Holy Cow! It's been a long time since I participated in the WeWriWa. This summer has been so busy I wasn't confident I would have enough time to jump to other participant's blogs and read their snippets.

For anyone who might not be familiar with the WeWriWa blog hop, it's pretty simple. There's just WeWriWa list, and they have to post a limited amount of sentences, no more than 10, on thier blog. See what I mean! All things should be so easy!

two rules: participants have to post a backlink to the

I'm jumping back in with Pig-in-a-Poke, a short story I wrote for The Chocolate House-All for Love-Anthology. This snippet is the first scene told from heroine, Letty's, point of view.

“You've made a mistake.” Letty Malleson tugged at the edges of her damp cloak, over lapping one over the other in an attempt to shield herself from the brisk wind and frosty air. She narrowed her eyes at the numbskull livestock broker standing before her and resisted the urge to stomp on his foot. “How do you plan to correct the error?”

Nathaniel Brice crossed his arms over his barrel chest and blew out an impatient breath. “All the information is in place and I assure you, it’s accurate.”

     “No. Impossible.”

The Chocolate House-All for Love-Anthology is a collection of 6 different historical short stories that were written by 6 different authors. The stories are connected by The Masqueraders Chocolate House which is located in Bath. The book is currently available via Amazon. All proceeds go to charity. Feel free to download your copy today!

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.
