The sensual flow of words draws one in to a cosy reader existance: meaning lost in time if but for a moment of literary joy. Not an easy RFW challenge this week, but next week's "Forgiven" gives scope for sequels! ;)<br /><br />I know, I'm late to the party as usual! My excuse this time that a) I signed a publishing contract to WCP b)I celebrated by self-pubbing a tad risque historical novella to Amazon Kindle c)I made a book trailer for it, too. On my blog at the mo. It was a whole new learning curve, and after two tries at formatting for Kindle I cracked it to perfection: smug bitch. I was determined it would not have indents half way across the page, no chapters chasing each others tails nor vast gaps between chaps either. I'm going to post up how I did it on a set aside page at RFW. What are blogging buddies for if not to help one another out, with these precise kind of testing issues. <br /><br />best<br />FFrancine Howarthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326542867876257042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-12754925241066784092011-07-02T10:27:43.900-05:002011-07-02T10:27:43.900-05:00Paula :

I'm glad you liked my excerpt.<br /><br />Beverly :<br />Thanks for letting me know about my funky link. Yes, Blake was set up to lie to Kirika, but he lies most to himself.<br /><br />Many of my friends have tried to post a comment but Blogger would not let them -- here is Donna Hole's comment :<br /><br />Aw, that was a touching scene.<br />I've been by several times over the last couple days but blogger doesn't love me, apparently.

Because of how they bonded to him supernaturally, Blake cannot choose either one over the other. It would be like choosing the left side of your heart over the right -- each different, doing different things, but the same heart.<br /><br />I'm glad you liked this excerpt as much as you did, RolandRoland D.
