write in pen and paper, directly on laptop; specific time of day? I write directly
onto my laptop from 7.30 until 4.30 everyday with structured breaks, and lots

Determined to discover if what she has read in Great Aunt Alice’s diary is true, Beth travels halfway across the world to Glastonbury to solve the mystery.
Silas
Rogers, an eccentric musician who moves into the cottage, is equally determined
to keep Beth from knowing the truth… and keep her from danger. The last thing
he expected was to fall in love.
But when
Beth finds herself in the fifteenth century… can she trust that Silas will find
her and get her home?
When the truth comes out, can their love cross the centuries, or will it be lost in time?
When the truth comes out, can their love cross the centuries, or will it be lost in time?
Can you give the reader just enough information for them to understand what is going on in the excerpt? Beth has discovered that Silas was lying to her, and she is trying to convince herself she cannot love him. Trust is very important to her as she has been let down before.
Why is
this excerpt so emotional for you? And can you describe your own emotional
experience of writing this specific excerpt? Beth is torn: she wants to love Silas, but she will not accept
someone who has lied to her. She is strong, and does not cry, but I did shed
tears as I wrote the words as I lived her pain with her. I really get into my
characters’ feelings. That is the key to conveying emotion to the reader.
Please
include the excerpt and include page numbers as reference. The excerpt can be
as short or as long as you prefer.
P217-218
‘It’s all right. We’ll get back. I know how to get us home, so you can
chill.’
She inclined her head in a regal fashion. ‘I believe that as well as
you knowing all about it, Megan, and David, and Alice, and quite possibly my
mother all know about this time stuff.’
Ah,
so that was the problem. Silas pushed
himself up from the hard chair and crossed to the window seat and sat beside
her. He reached out to take her hand, but she snatched it back.
‘Don’t touch me.’
He pulled his hand back as pure venom laced her tone. His temper began
to fire in return. ‘I don’t know about your mother, but yes, Megan and David
and Alice knew about the time slip.’
‘And you too, obviously?’ she said as she moved along the seat away
from him. ‘It would have made for interesting entertainment if you’d shared it
with me.’ Her eyes glittered as they met his. ‘But no. Knowing Megan and all
the discouragement she gave me about staying there, I’d say that you were put
next door to look after me. Do me the courtesy of being honest, Silas. Am I
right?’
He held her gaze as he nodded. ‘Yes. That’s why I was there. To keep
you safe.’
Her chin lifted higher. ‘And how convenient for you that I fell into
your arms at the wedding. A bit of sex on the side would have made the
babysitting a less arduous task for you?’
Anything
you would like to add? Thank you for inviting me to your blog. It looks like a very interesting read.
