If you were here on Sunday for Sexy Snippets, then you'll know I'm doing NaNoWriMo again this year and Worthy is my chosen title to complete.
So for today's teaser I've gone to the start of the manuscript and chosen an excerpt from the opening paragraphs. This is a first draft and unedited. I hope you enjoy it.
“Hurry up!”
The sound of urgency in her friend’s voice only made Tessa’s
hands shake violently as she stuffed clothes and other items into a small back
pack.
Clothes littered the room, bed and floor. Usually Tessa would
never allow her personal space to be in such disarray but she didn’t have the
time to tidy up right now. It was more important that she packed up and got out
of this house as soon as possible.
Her gaze swept over the walls and furniture quickly as she
tried to make sure she’d taken the things that were really important to her.
She had many beautiful things, clothes, gifts, ornaments, more than a normal
girl of fourteen would own in a country like Nigeria.
But
she wasn’t normal. ***
Leave me a comment and come back next time for more.
In the meantime, check out these lovely mid-week teasers.
