Many of the RWW members are working on stories we hope to publish in an anthology and a boxed set later this year. J.J. Devine wants a sneak peak at our opening scene. If you've joined me from A.S. Fenichel's blog, welcome. What did you think of hers? Here’s the first scene of “No Life But This” – my contribution to the Romance Writers Weekly Box Set. Santos Carregado pulled the twelve passenger van into the taxi loading zone and set the parking brake. Grabbing the cardboard sign and crumpled sheets of paper his sister had thrust into his hand before he'd rushed out the door this morning, he strode into Arrivals. A scattering of people milled about, no one going anywhere fast. To his right the building stretched, long and narrow, toward the Departure area. Muted sunshine fell through the glass ceiling two stories above. A sparrow, seemingly at home in the echoing space, swooped and swept, landing on a precarious edge along the outer wall. Santos took a seat on a log hollowed out into a bench. I'd love to hear what you think - let me know in the comments! Want to see what Kim Handysides is working on? Check it out here!
