I'm getting very excited about the forthcoming publication of my paranormal equestrian romance,
THE MATCHMAKER'S MARE on 5th May 2025 and I'm participating in #bookqw, so thought I'd share my posts here. The idea is that a word is given for each week of the month and authors post a quote from one of their books, containing that word, on a Wednesday. Last week's word is 'JUMP' and this is a snippet from my forthcoming sweet paranormal romance, which will be released on 5th May. (Cover coming on 19th March!) This is actually a longer snippet than the one I posted on Wednesday, I hope you enjoy it.
She tried to stop her hand trembling as she
turned the key in the lock. She cautiously pushed open the door, wondering what
she could use as a weapon if she disturbed an intruder.She swallowed hard, her heart thudding and a slight feeling of panic rose and tightened like an elastic band around her chest. She switched on the light and gazed across the hall to the dining room. The door into the room remained closed, as she had left it. She could see no sign of anything being disturbed. She knew she hadn’t left any windows open and had locked both the front and back doors securely. Logic told her no-one could have broken in without there being some sign of damage, and everything looked fine.
Ty Gwyn and the nearby village lay in a peaceful, rural area. She’d never seen anyone wandering around at night, nor felt uneasy about living there alone. The cottage being located out in the sticks as most people would call it, had never been a concern for her. In fact, she welcomed the peace and tranquillity after the hustle and bustle of the city. So why was she now JUMPing at shadows?
