Tuesday Tales: From the Word Skinny

 

Hello one and all, and welcome to mid-September. Hard to believe summer's all but over. 2020 has been a year of disappointment. Hopefully, now that fall's here, things will improve.

Tuesday Tales is a weekly blog where a small group of talented authors share their works in progress with you. We write to either a word or a picture prompt. This week, our word prompt is skinny, and we are limited to 400 words.  Feel free to comment on the individual posts. Writers love feedback! 

Here are this week's scenes.

V.LLOCEY (MM Contemporary Romance)

 I was the most exasperating person she knew.

TRISHA FAYE (Historical Fiction)

 By the time she turned up their front walk, she was filled with resolve.

 

SUSANNE MATTHEWS (Romantic Thriller)

 “Is that a brand on her ass? It looks like a horseshoe.”

JEAN JOACHIM (Small Town Romance)

His cell rang. It was Allison, the real estate agent.

 

JILLIAN CHANTAL (Regency)

See you all again next week!
