Today I want to play a little book game. The invitation came from British horror writer Alex Laybourne. I read his blog earlier today and it is such a simple idea yet so effective!
Read my blog post to see the seventh line from the seventy-seventh page of my current work in progress, Love Kills (The Redcliffe Novels).
7 Lines from the 7th Page
1. Go to page 7 or 77 in your current manuscript
2. Go to line 7
3. Copy down the next seven lines as they are; no cheating
4. Tag 7 other authors
The below comes from the 77th page of my current manuscript Love Kills (A Redcliffe Novel), Book 2:
This world intrigued me. It was vibrant and alive, full of beasts. I was the only predator in my realm, and it was beginning to feel very lonely. Pausing momentarily, I glanced sharply around, taking in my surroundings. I was aware of smaller animals disappearing into burrows and nests, desperate to avoid capture and certain death. They were of no consequence to me at this time. I needed something bigger, something strong and worthy of my time and energy. Staring ahead, I saw the swish of a wolf’s tail as it disappeared into the undergrowth.
END
Now it’s your turn!
That was fun! Now I will tag 7 authors, although I’m not sure if they’ll see this post.
- Alex Laybourne
- Borislava Borissova
- Y. Correa
- L. Filloon
- C.E. Hart
- Cheryel Hutton
- Deborah R. Turner

“How did you find out then?” Dora asked curious.
“They finally confessed and threw themselves on my mercy. When I found out who the slave master was, I knew I couldn’t return them.”
“Who couldn’t you return?”
“Ysbail and Mrs. Keket. And the slave master was Baron Althorpe.”
“The Baron is dead, sin’t he? I thought I remember a holonews item or two about a plunge off his balcony. People thought he committed suicide at first until …”
