Bridget Bramble at the Queen's Council - Excerpt for #WeWriWa and #SnippetSunday #fantasy
Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors and Snippet Sunday . Samplethe work of a new author. Read snippets of stories in different genres.
After a break of severalweeks, I’m returning with excerpts from my WIP. I’ve been busy in theintervening time. My husband and I spent a week in Florida and then visitedOxford, MS, to display his photographs and my digital art at the Double DeckerArts Festival. Now, I’m running a Kickstarter campaign.
Writing the next bookis moving slowly. It’s the sequel to my fantasy adventure and romance BridgetBramble and the Wandering Elf. The tentative title is Bridget Bramble andthe Dragon Ship.
Here are the openinglines (unedited and may change). It’s a spoiler for the earlier book, but not unexpected.
I’d appreciate yourcomments.
On the day they exchanged their marriagevows, Bridget Bramble and Vancele Windswift were summoned to the elf Queen’scouncil of war.
A horn blared.
Its deep notes vibrated throughthe canvas walls of the Stitchery where Bridget Bramble was carving an acorn ona charmed button of red oak.
Rattled by the strident sound,she dropped her carving chisel on the table and looked at her new husband,Vancele Windswift. A few minutes earlier, the elf had entered the Stitchery andstraddled the other end of her bench to watch her create the buttons.
The sight of his handsome visage andthe smile warming his cool gray eyes swept a thrill of delight through her. Heloved her. His calm demeanor reassured her. The raucous blare had not alarmedhim.
He answered her unspoken question,“’Tis the summons to the Queen’s Council.”
Look out for more nextweek. I hope to get back into the routine of posting snippets.
