Welcome to the Boomer Lit Blog Hop. This is my first time joining up and I'm happy to be participating. It's already Friday morning where I am so I'm getting a 'jump' on it.
Here's a 'quick peek' into my novel, Mental Pause (from chapter 11):
“Abbie,
you’re wanted on suspicion of murder back home,” Conrad caught her just as her
knees gave out, and eased her onto the step and sat down next to her. “Your
friend was found dead in a motel bathroom yesterday morning and you were the
one who was last seen with her.”
“Oh my God!” Abbie leaned over the side of the step and retched. “Oh God... How
did it happen? I swear I didn’t do anything,” she sobbed.
Conrad
rubbed her back. “I believe you baby but they’re going to have to bring you in.
Don’t say anything until I get you a lawyer. Abs, you’re in huge trouble.
You’ve crossed state lines. This is going to get ugly. Promise me you didn’t
have anything to do with this.”

Oh-oh. Now I'm curious! Great excerpt!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it Sharon! Thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteWell, you've got my attention. This doesn't look good for Abbie.
ReplyDeleteYou're right Beth... as Abbie's husband Conrad speculates, it does get ugly! Thanks for stopping by!
DeletePoor Abbie! Bad enough that her best friend is dead, but the police think she did it! I'm curious to see what happens next.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy, I felt the same way when I was writing it. Sometimes I didn't really know what would happen next! I found myself dreaming scenes and plot twists so if I was stuck I would just call it a day and let my subconscious take over!
DeleteHeavens, your Abbie's in deep trouble! And yes Anne, I agree with you totally, one often doesn't know what happens next when writing - indeed, I'm convinced that's the best way to write! Sure, an outline is needed but once one has started, one shouldn't be afraid to deviate from it: it's more fun that way!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, shall look your book up!
