Happy January!
Hi everyone,
Happy New Year and Happy New Decade! I can’t wait to see how the 2020’s compare to the 1920’s. Hmm. I hope there’s not a big stock market crash at the end. Anywhoooo…
This month I’m sharing the (unedited) first paragraph of the Footmen’s Club trilogy prologue. Would love to hear what you think!
London, July 1814
Lucas Drake, the fifth earl of Kendall, was foxed. But only foxed, not an entire three sheets to the wind. And he should know. He spent six years in his Majesty’s Royal Navy. He knew precisely how dangerous a situation it was to have three sheets to the wind. The sheet controls the sail, after all, and if the line is not secured, the sheet flops in the wind. If all three sails were loose, the ship would be out of control. Lucas was not out of control. Four mugs of watered down ale at the Curious Goat Inn would not do that to a former sailor. He was foxed enough, however, to say, “I think it’s time I find a wife,” aloud, in the presence of all three of his closest friends.
What I’m Up To…
Our trip to Colorado was nice even though I was sick the entire week. My hub got to go snowboarding and he had a great time. I was able to enjoy the spa and being sick in a place that has room service is better than being sick at home (just sayin’). We had a quiet Christmas at the Bowman Bungalow and now we’re gearing up for the new year in which I intend to write, write, write.
Have a wonderful January and thank you for reading my latest news!
