This post is part of an ongoing blog hop hosted by Weekend Writing Warriors. Every Sunday, participating authors post eight sentences from a published work or even a WIP (work in progress). Then we hop to our fellow warriors’ blogs and check out all the fabulous fiction that’s happening! It's a great way to meet readers, writers, and your next favorite book! :)
This week's WeWri Wa is 9 sentences (just for flow and closure). This is from my upcoming release, Pianissimo.
Corinne
sat in the bare living room with the front door to the old house wide open. The
screen door made a pitiful barrier between her and the raging thunderstorm
outside. The light, sweet, crisp scent of rain tickled the back of her nostrils
with each gust of wind. The rain was more than welcome, though. The humidity
had finally died down and there was even a slight chill in the air. Drenched
green leaves danced and twirled on just the other side of the door.
Surrounding
Corinne was a sea of boxes. Her whole life was contained in the plain brown
parcels. Pictures, memories, books, sentimental items: indeed, her entire existence
was covered in bubble wrap and contained in the boxes she had clearly marked.
Darryl and Corinne Richards
purchase their first house. With Darryl’s army career coming to a close, they
feel ready to settle down in Louisville, Kentucky. With impeccable timing,
Darryl is sent on one final tour, leaving Corinne to live in this new house and
new city alone.
Overwhelmed, Corinne becomes
reclusive, living a quiet, boring life with her cats as she adjusts to her new
surroundings. The problem is: someone or some thing does not want her life to be either quiet or boring. And then
there’s the creepy piano in the basement…
There is more to that creepy,
dilapidated piano and her new home than Corinne could ever imagine. Through
highs and lows, twists and turns, she begins to understand that even the most
softly played music is powerful – and that even soft realizations and quietly
subtle changes can have a profound effect.
So much to enjoy!

is from a gifted ebook reviewer copy.
“The stories
flow together so beautifully, I felt transported back in time to peek into
Agnes and Margaret’s deep and abiding love for each other, and back to the
present day to be with Corinne as she investigated the house she and her
military husband bought just before he shipped out for his last tour of duty.
Exciting and wondrous exploration of a time and situation, written with grace
and delightful style.”
Happy reading!
