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.

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

Sincerely,

Sebastian

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.

        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,”
