I’d like to introduce you to one of my earlier books. I received my rights back after three wonderful years with a publisher, and it’s now time to fly solo. The book will be out late July. If you’re interested in helping spreading the word, please let me know. I’d appreciate it.
The story is set in Hobart, Tasmania, where Sophie and Mia have inherited a house – from a stranger.
Only a week earlier, Sophie had received the call from Mr. O’Connor telling her about an inheritance. Initially, she’d thought it had been a horrible joke when he’d given her details on where to pick up airplane tickets to Hobart. It was important for her to come, he’d explained. Some legality she hadn’t understood. Something about her having to sign documents for the transfer of ownership of some assets. It’d sounded too farfetched at the start, but after some research on the firm with the help of a friend, it sounded valid, and she’d hoped her life was finally turning around for the better.
Mr. O’Connor let out a long sigh. “Ms. Bellinger was one of the partner’s clients. I was only given the details shortly after the client’s death.”
Thanks for all your comments,
I do appreciate each single one of them!

It’s always what comes after that long sigh that should worry us.
Exactly … or we don’t want to hear. Thanks for stopping by, Chelle.
I love the mystery behind the inheritance and can’t wait to find out why it was left to her.
Glad you like it, PT 🙂
In these times of phishing schemes and Nigerian lottery scams, I can certainly understand her skepticism. But I’m glad she’s pursuing the mystery.
LOL … I agree , Joyce … it’s a scary world out there.
Fun situation, love the mysterious build up! Great snippet…

It’d be nice, wouldn’t it 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, Jennifer.
Oh so much mystery! Just what are these details? Although, those long sighs rarely mean good news. Maybe she should brace herself for what he might be about to explain?
I know … the “sigh” …. lets wait and see 🙂
Too good to be true?
Hopefully not 🙂 Thanks Elaine.
I’m looking forward to finding out what the big mystery is.
Yeah …. hope you’ll enjoy it, Ed. 🙂
I love the premise. And he’s not a very patient person is he?
Trait of his trade ? LOL … thanks for stopping by, Emmy
