Snippet Sunday 31-03-13 WWW


Thank you to everyone who visited last week and to those who left comments. Your thoughts are always appreciated.
For today's Sunday Snippet I'm continuing where I left off last week, a little ways into the beginning of a new WIP (working title Horseshoe 1) 

Again I don't have names for my characters at this stage hence the 'he' and 'she.'

This week I have also joined the Weekend Writing Warriors 

“It is you who trespasses madam.” The hauteur in the intruder’s voice sent shivers down her spine. “This is my home, and I do not tolerate insubordination from my subjects, regardless of their beauty.”

What kind of pompous idiot talked like that?  “I don’t know what you’re on, but you’re obviously out of your tiny mind.  This—” she spun round, her arm outstretched to encompass the room and the rest of the building beyond it, “—is my home and has been for the last three years.”

When his cold, disbelieving eyes stared back at her she rushed on. “If you don’t believe me ask monsieur Freemont at Ashworthy’s real estate agency in town, I bought it from them."
 
That's it for this week, :-) Thanks for coming by and you'll find lots more free-read snippets at Snippet Sunday  and Weekend Writing Warriors

Methinks everyone expected him to be dead and no one told him, lol. Great snippet, Sherry. :)

SherryGLoag said...

:-) Sarah, the places and challenges my characters set me... sigh!

SherryGLoag said...

The Belle in Blue I suspect there's going to be a lot more butting of heads between these two before they're finished.

LOL Siobhan, I dread to think how he's going to react when he finds out! :-)

Either he's a method actor, a re-enactor, or there's a timeslip in this somewhere.

I'm loving it either way.
