Greetings, everyone. Hope the first week of 2012 was good for you.
Six more sentences today from my wip, River’s Edge.
Edge heard the name of his savior for the first time when she was sworn in–River Prescott.
She proceeded to tell her tale and the old lawyer serving as the county’s attorney in the case interrupted her asking, ”River, are you certain you have the correct day?”
She opened her satchel pulling out a stack of paper Edge was just as interested in seeing as the rest of the men in the courtroom.
“I’ve been sketching Mr. Grayson, using him as my model.” She handed the pictures to the attorney and said, “As you can see, each scene is dated.”
The judge couldn’t have been more sour if he’d been sucking on a persimmon and a shroud of disappointment hung over the the courtroom as the audience realized they weren’t going to get to hang him today.

Thanks for stopping by this week.

Intriguing. Love your descriptions and how you leave us hanging Gem. I want to toss confetti and jump up, but I'm not sure if I should.
Great snippet!
Yes, every week you leave us hanging, but it doesn't look like Edge will be.
I so look forward to reading more!
I'm looking forward to reading this one. I can't wait. Love the title, btw.
Another great snippet! I can't wait to read more next week!
Love how her drawings come in handy. Great plot twist.
Love stepping into the sexy west with you each week. Now that he’s going to live do we get to see them all sweaty next week. Please.
Great snippet, loved your description of the judge!
Ha, a bloodthirsty crowd! Love the double meaning in the title too.
Loved the tension in this scene. Great visuals and language. Loved your six!
Sounds like another fantastic book, Gem
sounds really great!
Looks like all that spying really came in handy. I can tell I'm going to love this story.
I'm loving this story Gem. No hanging today! Love the line "The judge couldn’t have been more sour if he’d been sucking on a persimmon…" Fantastic six!
I love these snippets.
Gem, you're going to be the end of me with your brilliant writing
LOL! Bloodthirsty audience!
You are a master at the hook ending, and this is another great one.
Great description here, Gem. All those poor people came for entertainment and not hanging in sight. Tsk tsk
Great tension and description!
"The judge couldn’t have been more sour if he’d been sucking on a persimmon" LOL well done description, Gem. And yay, he won't hang today!
But what does the judge think of the sketch?? Well done can't wait for more
I can't wait for this story!!!
Love that last line – it conveyed the mood so well!
Ha-ha! Her sketching ended up saving him, love that twist! Great ending line too…
Awesome! As always. Great names. And that last line is killer!
Love the phrase "shroud of disappointment." Well done!
I love how she is just as cool as can be!
Great descriptions…I could see that "shroud". I have to read this book…and would love to host you on Cowboy Kisses.
Really interesting six
I agree. Great snippet. LOVE that last line!
Great six, love the judge's reaction and the audience's too!
Love the dry, subtle humor of this story! Wonder if she gave the judge ALL the pictures she drew?
Oh, I love it! The humor seems to effortless. Though I do blame you for the soda I just snorted up my nose…
Great cliffhanger (follwing on the heels of another great cliffhanger)! Way to pull new suspense out of the twist of the hero being saved! Excellent six!
Awesome six! Totally left me hanging.
I 'd like to see Edge's reaction when he see the sketches. Great six as always!
Love the snippet, though I must admit to having a hard time with the persimmon analogy. Our persimmons are always abundantly sweet. I never knew it as a sour fruit.
Lol, Vivien. Good catch. The only persimmon I ever had was so bitter I spit it out. After your comment, I googled it. Definitely meant to be a sweet fruit. I’ll have to change that line. Thanks.
Love that he's been saved by the girl!
sucking on a persimmon..absolutely love it!
Oh, I love the 'shroud of disappointment' too.
