Happiness is . . . a few hours spent in Officeworks. With a weak excuse of gathering school supplies for my son a whole month early, I’ve spent my Sunday morning in stationary heaven. Pencils, exercise books, lever arch files — Once I’ve settled on my goals for the year, I’ll be ready for 2013. Just waiting on the year to change. I hope you’re all set for the new year, too and have a great New Years Eve.
I’m continuing with my wip, In Her Image, last week Doris was faced with a new and unpleasant view.

The riding crop clenched in his hand brought her to her feet as panic hit her. “Marcel?”
When no reassuring voice answered her call, she blanched at the prospect of this meeting. Cautiously, she faced Lord Ramsay, viscount and bothersome pest.
“My dearest, Lottie.” His jowls quivered as he caught his breath, but his eyes scored her skin as if she was standing naked before him.

This is a wonderfully written piece, thank you for sharing it. And I love the mobile view of your website. 🙂
Sounds like there’s no way out for her. Eek! I want more. Great six! 🙂
Ooh, very visual! I can see the old codgar and his quivering jowls!
Well now…he’s even got my attention now too! Excellent six, Heather!
I’m even more intrigued about their backstory now.
Uh oh, really makes me wonder what will happen next – very effective six!
Eeep! Marcel, get back there! 😉 So many questions come from this six! Makes me want to know more!
Lottie! I thought she was Doris. Now I’m really intrigued!
Uh oh! This does not look good for her. Well done describing the details and upping the tension!
Love this mounting tension and cant wait to read more. Lovely writing.
That does not sound good.
I want more! Great six.
Sounds ominous. Intriguing six. 🙂 And I have the same love of school supplies as you do. So many enticiing possibilities! Have a great New Year.
This is edgy. I hope she gets out of this undamaged.
Happy new year.
