Welcome back to the Weekend Writing Warriors!

Wow, it’s been two weeks since I participated!!  I’ve missed WeWriWa so much, but February left me with editing brain as I tried to edit both books 4 & 5 of The Dominion Falls Series for submission. It’s finally done, now I’m working on the synopses, or I will be next week (taking a few days off.).

In the meantime, I’m back and I’m still keeping you all intrigued with the beginning of the series [amazon_link id=”B00BEMN5SC” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Changing Tracks (The Dominion Falls Series book 1)[/amazon_link]. You know, my amnesiac with the eidetic memory, Jane Doe…and the brothel-owner, anti-hero…Cole Mitchell.

When I last left you, Jane had her ankle set by her (or rather, Clara’s) ex. She’d managed to rescue the boys that had been kidnapped…

This is a short while later. Jane is on the train back to Dominion Falls talking with her brother, Mike, about a wanted poster he spotted in the Denver depot. Mike speaks first:

“Murder.”

“Of a Mr. Jake Querney. I see-I can read.”

Michael moved next to her, “It happened here in Colorado.”

“She was sent to an asylum.” The blood drained from her face, “Where she escaped. Wanted for murder, fraud; it would seem you’re right. Hanging would be the sentence for either crime.”

.”

*Creative punctuation was used. Wish it wasn’t, but there it is.

    Hey Sarah. I noticed you weren’t on the list last time! I like these characters already, they seem so down to earth. Hope you pick up from here next time!

    A lot of us do the creative punctuation thing for 8sunday, so no judging from us! 🙂

    Oh, dear. That really can’t be good—does the Wanted Lady have anything to do with the kidnapping, or is this a new problem?

    Hmmm, amnesiac heroine and a wanted poster for a nutso murderess? Could they be one and the same, or suspected of being such? Intrigued! (Or way off base. That happens.)
