Sin & Secrecy

Preview: Sin & Secrecy Chapter VI

May 17, 2019 No Comments

The first sample of the new book went down pretty well, so how about another? Featuring a familiar name…

I love hearing from readers and fans alike. Whether that’s on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. One particularly positive series of messages came to me via Twitter, praising the samples from the latest Berylford Scandal, Sin & Secrecy. Such as the one featured in the profile of our villainess Rebecca Stirkwhistle. Or, indeed, the snippet from Chapter I.

For this next preview, taken from Chapter VI of the new book, we stick with Rebecca. It also features the main anti-heroine from Lust & Liberty. Lady Vyrrington, of course. The scene in the extract below is a tense conversation between the two women. It might make more sense if you’ve read the first book, but I’ve tried to word it so that Berylford newcomers will get the gist…

Excerpt from The Berylford Scandals: Sin & Secrecy — Chapter VI: Lady Vyrrington’s Warning

Chapter VI Chapter VI p2 Chapter 6-3 Chapter VI p4

Again, apologies for the gapping…

Hope that was a decent read and that you will want to see more in future. Get up to speed with The Berylford Scandals by purchasing Lust & Liberty on Amazon here. And like or follow us on social media so you never miss a post in future!

I love creating characters. It's the greatest joy I love creating characters. It's the greatest joy of storytelling, I think. But to make sure they all don't end up as one-dimensional cardboard cutouts in the story, I create comprehensive profiles for all my principal players. Some of the things to include in such profiles are discussed in the latest post on my website (#linkinbio) βœοΈβœοΈπŸ–ŠοΈπŸ“πŸ“–πŸ“šπŸ“˜πŸ“™

One of my favourite characters to write. Love her One of my favourite characters to write. Love her or hate her, there's no denying Mrs Urmstone is devoted to Lady Vyrrington and won't hear a word said against her. This quote from Lust & Liberty pretty much sums that up πŸ“–πŸ“˜πŸ“š
