Happy Friday!

Today, my first line Friday is from Christmas at Grey Goose Lodge by Phyllis Clark Nichols…..

When Maude opened the door to the Christmas closet in early December that year, she had no reason to think there would only be nine more Christmases celebrated at Grey Sage

I like that first line. It certainly makes me want to read more!

This week I did an author interview with Joyce DiPastana, Medieval fiction writer. The first line from her short story The Girl by the River:

Robert almost tripped over the scythe.

I've heard so many wonderful things about this book. Someday I will get to it!

I’m getting in the Christmas Spirit with my FLF blog post, but here are the first lines from the book I’m currently reading:


“Being a teacher was turning out to be a little like having the flu. Simon O’Keefe. Her heart broke for him at the same time her stomach twisted with dread for herself.” From The Calico and Cowboy Romance Collection by Mary Connealy.

Pretty cover! Love Held Captive by Shelley Shepard Gray is featured on my blog today with a giveaway but I’m currently reading The Vexing by Tamara Leigh. Here’s the first line:
Normandy, France
Early December 1161
Women were more trouble than they were worth. Or so Sir Durand Marshal told himself each time one dragged him into a mess like this one promised to do.
