As I can’t get onto Twitter at the moment, or very few financial and political sites, I thought I’d use wordpress to release a short exerpt from the new novel. The press release saying I’m giving examples of the new book is the most highly clicked. So here’s the brief exerpt, a bit of conversation between junior governess, Madeline Charlton, heiress, Jocasta Cecil, who has ambitions to be a spirited girl and hard up and married, Selena Deramore.
Jocasta regarded her with interest. “Go on, Madeline, you have nothing to hide.”
Madeline considered. ”I have my stipend like Reverend Datchett and income from a small property.”
”And the rest,” muttered Marcus.
”How jealous he is,” laughed Selena. “Be pleased for Miss Charlton, Marcus.”
”Indeed, Mrs Deramore, I have no expectations beyond what I have described,” insisted Madeline.
“Yes, yes, we will believe you, and what about you, dear Miss Cecil, queen of the party? Do you have vast expectations that would stun us all?”
“Yes,” said Jocasta simply, “I suppose I do.”
About ten chapters written now and starting to get a feel of the book. I have only outline ideas of where it’s going and the characters seem to write it.
