The 777 Challenge
I was tagged by Alison Bruce along with six other authors. My challenge is to go to page 7 of my current work in progress and post seven lines. When I'm done posting, I get to tag seven other authors. Hmm, who shall I tag? Oh and once I'm done, I challenge those seven to do the same and tag 7 more. Too fun!
And now for my excerpt. This is from my current wip, Texas Forged which I'm happy to report is basically DONE! I plan to send to the beta reader sometime this week, work up a cover for it and then I think this one I'll self publish just because.
Page 7, 7 lines: (Okay, so it's just a tad longer than 7, but still...)

His cheeks blossomed red again, and he ducked his head. “Yes’m.”
“Very well then.” She settled onto the bench next to the awkward teen and nodded a greeting to some of the gawkers gathered to witness their small calamity.
My seven authors to tag:

Linda LaRoque
Linda Mooney
Diana Castilleja
Tess St. John
