Silver Sky at Dawn - Meet Lorena. (WeWriWa, 3/20)

            Welcome blog readers and WeWriWa fanatics! The introductory post to my debut novel Silver Sky at Dawn was posted on Sara Barnard's blog last week, so if you would like to check it out to get your bearings, click on her name above. 
           Click here if you would like to get back to the rest of the Weekend Writing Warrior bloggers.

After accidently spilling a glass of water on her sleeping husband's phone, Lorena discovers a slew of text messages -- between her husband and his lover. Read what Lorena does . . . then feel free to comment and tell me -- what would you do if it was you in her shoes?



             My hands shook as a flash of fire burned my face. “Is there anything you need to tell me, Johnny?” Staring at the wall, our framed marriage certificate filled my vision. I willed it to fall off its nail.
            “I dunno what you’re talking about,” he muttered as he buried his face back into the pillow, muffling his words. “As usual.”
            Deny, deny, deny. You’d told me once that was how you always got out of trouble, deny something long enough, it will eventually go away.

            The urge to shove another pillow, hard, over the back of his head was strong. So strong that I almost didn’t hear the creak of the door as my fingers curled into the green satin pillowcase.

I hope you enjoyed this excerpt

Welcome to the wonderous world of author Madeline McCandless

Thanks for stopping by! My name is Madeline McCandless, native Texan and aspiring author. I've written my first novel-length manuscript, Silver Sky at Dawn, with two more books planned in the series and am learning all about not only the writing but the publishing process as well.

Here is the setting for Danny Silver Sky's story on the Paiute Reservation in Oregon.

Keep up with my writings and other interesting tidbits here! I'm on Twitter -- @AuthorMadelineM and Facebook.

Each Sunday, I'll share tidbits from Silver Sky at Dawn - right here with the Weekend Writing Warriors!
