My First Lines:
Wedded to War

Monday, April 22, 1861
New York City

When Charlotte and Alice told their mother they were taking the omnibus down Broadway, they weren't lying.

Friday, June 26, 1863

"Shhh.  Someone's coming."  Liberty Holloway cocked her head toward the window as the muffled rhythm of hoofbeats rose above of the drumming rain.

Not now. Please not now.  Revel bullets ripped through the sulfurous fog hovering above Caitlin McKae's head.

It is madness.

Rain hissing to the earth behind her, Sophie Kent shivered and craned her neck toward the platform, half expecting lightning to strike the Ten Broeck Race Course any moment.

My first-evernight away from home, I Struggled with sleeplessness, having abruptly left with two other Amish girls. The Proving by Beverly Lewis

Those sound like interesting books.

My first line is from an anthology called Out of the Blue Bouquet. The first story is Sourting Callie by Hallee Bridgeman.

“Callie Vaughn felt the telltale shudder of the car through her seat just as she started to pull through the gate.”

That series looks good.

One of my first lines today is from The Art and Craft of Murder by Cat Parker.

“One of these days, someone’s going to murder that stupid old woman,” Martha Johnstone said to me, as Hilary Short left my teahouse and walked off towards the harbor.

Happy Friday!

I'm showcasing The Secret Life of Sarah Hollenbeck by Bethany Turner on my blog this week. So, here I will share a line from the book I'm currently reading, Deadly Proof by Rachel Dylan. I'm just starting chpt. 15, so that's the line I'll share:

"On Monday morning, Kate heard her email ping and saw the message was from the Northern District of Georgia. Her heartbeat sped up as she clicked to open it."

I really love my job. But I’ve got to admit, some days are better than others.
