The lovely Charlie Plunkett www.charlieplunkett.co.uk has tagged me into the seven line challenge. Thank you Charlie. Don't forget to have a look at her latest book 100 Little Words on Parenthood, especially the teenager section where you will finds some words of wisdom ( a..hem) from yours truly.
As one who likes a challenge here goes. I have to give you seven lines of my latest manuscript.Love Suzi x is based on my experience as long haul cabin crew for B.A. It is a 90,000-word contemporary, romantic novel told through Suzi’s disarmingly honest, humorous letters to her childhood friend, Eve.
If life for Suzi at 35,000ft is turbulent - life on the ground is hardly a breeze.
Here's seven lines from page 77 when Suzi is caught naked but for Ed's bathrobe, by his girlfriend, Candy.
'Take that bloody robe off,’ she said storming past me. ‘I’ll make the tea.’
Ever spent time wishing you were a thousand miles away? I think, not-so-sweet Candy, must have spat in my tea it tasted so foul. She sat in the kitchen with a face like a bulldog, screwed up and ready to pounce. I retreated upstairs and changed back into my uniform. My suitcase was still in the boot of my car at the airport so I only had the clothes I arrived in. Just as I finished buttoning my blouse, my stockings thrust into my jacket pocket -I couldn’t be bothered to put them on again, anyway my legs were brown enough not to look too bad - Ed pulled up outside the house in my Peugeot.
I am passing the baton over to some wonderful writers who will entertain and delight you with their storytelling.
