Always Consequences Sample Chapter 5

5 “So you think the woman could prove to be a problem?” Umar inquired. Coetzee’s face remained cold. “I do.” Umar smiled. “More than she’s worth?” “Yes.”  “Smile my friend! She’s a prisoner like the rest. Nothing more, nothing less. Just a young woman.” Vincent shifted his stance, a slight indication of his disagreement, keeping his thoughts on the matter to himself. “Are we done?” Umar’s amusement faded. Seriousness set in once more. “How long until the building is complete?” “Not long. I can persuade the men to work quicker. It would be sooner, than later.” Umar nodded, “Good. Do it. We shall move them to the warehouse under the cover of night when it’s done. Leave the trailers there.

Furthest two behind are Book Five of the Sorceress Series  (63,621 words)  and  Hope of the Future   (65,582 words).  Now I can dive into the Sorceress book like I've been wanting to since I last left her. Had so many ideas and they are still fresh and anxious to go since I stuck with working on the others. It's been two weeks since I worked in it, last week was the other two, so that shows how long the craving can last! haha If you would like to join in, and have others check you out, tag your posts #wwab and include link in area below.
