I’ve been tagged by my Scottish crime-writer friend, Chris Longmuir. So there are the rules for Lucky 7: Seven lines from new works.
- Go to page 77 of your current MS or WIP
- Go to line 7
- Copy the next 7 lines, sentences or paragraphs and post them as they’re written
- Tag 7 more writers and let them know.
So here are my seven lines…

I love the Lucky Seven Meme, and what a great little excerpt. Whhoop! Thanks so much for tagging me, Melanie! I shall get onto my seven on Friday. Yay! This is such fun… Thanks again!
Thanks Nicky! Can’t wait to see what you post.
That was quick work. You obviously don’t have enough editing to do!
Sshh Chris… don’t tell. I was editing when I got the award so since I had the document open, it wasn’t too hard to flip back to page 77 and copy and paste the required lines.
