The following is an extract from my soon to be published novel GATHER THE BONES... (August 2012)
In the late afternoon, Paul abandoned the
library and adjourned to his own rooms. He sat at a table by the window, a
pencil in his mouth and his right hand curled around a glass of whiskey,
looking at a sheet of paper on which he had scribbled some notes for his
translation of “The Iliad.”
“I knocked but you didn't answer”
Paul started, nearly knocking over the
whiskey. Helen stood with her hand on the door handle.
“Come in,” he said. “Sorry, I was a bit
preoccupied. When did you get back?”
“About half an hour ago. I brought the
cigarettes you asked Sam to get,” she said.
“Thanks, leave them on that table.” He
waved a hand in the direction of the small table. Helen set the packet down and
crossed over to the window to join him.
OK...that probably wasn't the most rivetting excerpt. It gets more exciting I promise!
Tagging love to be shared with (in no particular order):
Enjoy the Extracts!
