The world can wait

I forgot :( Oops. So here's your five sentences from current WIP - Turned. And a flower that one of the kids gave me at work this week. :) Dane shoved to one side the insistent voice telling him he was betraying Jas. He wasn’t. Nate was right. Amy was very pretty…but she was his daughters’ nanny not their governess. And he was definitely no Mr. Rochester.

Well unlike last week which dragged - this weeks gone a tad faster, but not by much. Today's five sentences come from my up coming release Tuesday's Child - releases in both print and ebook on all sides of the pond on Oct 19th. And it's exciting cos the book is now up on the coming soon page on the publishers website Adeline btw, is deaf. Writing a deaf heroine was a challenge but I loved it. Ben is her hearing dog. Nate is the hero. In this scene he's leading a self defence class. And your excerpt is: An arm went around her throat choking her, and another arm grabbed her waist. Panic filled her and everything she’d been taught went out of her mind. She struggled hard, seeing Ben leap to his feet and come running across. She brought her left foot up sharply against Nate’s shin and then stomped on his foot. At the same time she flung her head back as hard and fast as she could, feeling something crunch as she did so.

It's Friday, so you get five sentences from the current WIP. It's still Sunday's Child but I've just passed 41k so once Hattie and Cal stop changing the plot on me, it'll soon be done.  I'm handwriting draft one and typing up draft two at the same time. The hand written version is about 2 chapters ahead of the typed version. Before you ask, no this wasn't in the chapter plan. It wasn't even in the handwritten draft one. It suddenly appeared in the typed up draft two. So will have to make notes on the hand written one now. Sigh... But here you go. Today's five sentences. She ran a hand down his face. “I’m marrying you and nothing is going to stop me from doing that.” He leaned into her touch, catching her fingers with his lips. “Good--maybe we elope.” “Or just post the banns today and marry in three months’ time in which ever church can fit us in.”

Saw this on a couple of blogs and thought why not. Guess its a variant of seven sentence Sunday which I don't do as I don't write on a Sunday. So here are 5 sentences from my WIP Sunday's Child that I just wrote :) I think the moral of the story really is don't annoy the writer or she will put you in a book and kill you. The whole bridge shuddered, visibly moving as a huge wave knocked against it. Metal screeched and twisted with a loud creak, swiftly followed by a noise unlike anything she’d ever heard before. A long metallic groan, a whoosh of water that shot up into the sky and the wind howled and moaned. As the spray cleared, Hattie’s eyes widened and she rubbed them, not wanting to  believe  what she was seeing. The central span of the bridge, and the lights of the train, was gone.
