WEEKEND WRITING WARRIORS #52
I'm back! After a lengthy hiatus, partially due to taking a lovely two week vacation, we also had several unexpected losses in our family and as such, I haven't been writing all that much. Time heals all wounds, so here I am, ready to dig in and 'get her done'.
I left off with Kitty and Mary sharing a special moment. Here's a brief recap: "I'm so glad we have this moment of peace together." Impulsively she reached out and grabbed Mary's hand. "At times I feel we are strangers living under the...

FIRST KISS FRIDAY
Several of my writer friends post cute snippets from their stories featuring the first kiss between the hero and heroine. Although my blog lately has been dedicated to Regency Romance, I thought I'd share the first kiss between Lindsay and Jared, found between the pages of '
MAN OF HER DREAMS
'.
Lindsay's been hired by Jared to renovate his kitchen. He never expected her to renovate his heart and life as well.
Enjoy.
A week later, Lindsay had a rough plan drawn up for Ja...

TUESDAY'S TEASER
The past few weeks I've been posting from the first time Miss Catherine Bennet meets Lord George, and that's kind of unfair as it's not where the book begins - that's Chapter Two. Previously, I've posted the delightful romp of Lord George and Evangeline being assaulted at her place of 'employment' and before killing the two unknown ruffians, George was convinced the one man recognized him. And... on we go.
"I'm afraid your cover has been compromised." Lord Patrick Grayson, Marquis of Chad...

FIRST LINE FRIDAY
The object of this exercise is to take the nearest book, open to Chapter One and post the first sentence. As the closest book to me was the Bible, I can tell you the opening line is a good one.
Witho...
'In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.'Kinda hard to beat an opener like that, but because most of us are romantic fiction readers, I grabbed the next book which happened to be my Jane Austen inspired Regency romance, entitled CAROLINE: Pride & Prejudice continued... Book One.

TUESDAY'S TEASER
Lord Kerr picked up a knife and fork and sliced into the meat on his plate. Surreptitiously, she cut a sideways glance to see which cutlery he used. Dash it all, why did there have to be so many forks and spoons and knives lining the perimeter of her place setting? Mama always put up such lovely dinners, but none of them compared to the pomp and ceremony here at Pemberley.
Her stomach rumbled in protest. Lord Kerr turned slightly and smiled again.
"You are famished. Why aren't you eating?"
Embar...

TUESDAY'S TEASER
Somewhat of a Prologue November 1, 1812 Pemberley ~ Wedding Breakfast of Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet Catherine Bennet, better known as Kitty to family and close friends, could barely eat so consumed was she by nervousness. The multitude of Lords and Ladies gathered around the table made her feel as if they were at St. James Court instead of the formal dining hall at Pemberley. Across from her sat Miss Georgiana Darcy and to her left was Maxwell Kerr, the Fif...

WEEKEND WRITING WARRIORS #51
We left off last week with Kitty musing how she and Mary were often the 'forgotten' ones in relation to their other sisters. Jane, the beautiful one; Lizzie, the witty one; and Lydia, their mother's favourite. Kitty is confined to bed from her injuries after nearly being run over by Lord George Kerr and his horse, Buttons and Mary has brought up tea and scones.
This week's excerpt:
She'd been the silly sister who followed after Lydia, while Mary was the pious sister who put a damper on mo...

WEEKEND WRITING WARRIORS #50
I'm back!
I took a little hiatus. My physical condition is exasperated by stress, so I decided to step away from writing and my self-imposed deadline. Sorry, faithful readers, CATHERINE will probably not get published prior to the end of the year, but THE END is in sight, and I can probably have her out by early 2018.
Having said all that, here is my contribution to Weekend Writing Warriors. For a brief run down of their rules and how to participate, as well as to find other auth...
