8-Sentence Sunday

Weekend Writing Warriors are busy on new stories and because I am a warrior, here’s another snippet from Novel 4 in the Women of Willow Bay series. Continuing from where we left off last week, we’re still in 1933 with Captain Frank McGuire…

McGuire gazed around the elegant teak bridge. He knew the boat intimately and had researched her history. The 136-foot motor yacht was built in 1918 and originally named the Seasprite. She ran aground near Charlevoix in 1925 and was scrapped by the Buffalo shipping magnate that owned her.

Stay tuned–I’ll be going back and forth between Books 3 and 4 in the series since I’m working on them alternately as the muse moves me. Comments are welcome and encouraged. Please don’t miss the other Weekend Writing Warriors.   Head on over and check out the work of dozens of other writers. You’ll be so glad you did!

This weekend is the Indiana Romance Writers of America’s annual Writers Retreat, so I’m retreating. Hope to get lots of writing done, as well enjoy great fellowship with other authors. We’re doing  workshops, one of which is a brainstorming session for people who’ve hit a glitch in their novels. I so need this session for this book! Hold a good thought!
