My WIP

[roxy]

It's a historical novel set in England during the time of Cromwell. Here is an excerpt.


Melinda could hear the horses hooves pounding from miles away, she pulled the covers over her ears and turned her face to the wall. What was going to become of her and the children now that Cyril had been arrested and thrown in the tower for high treason? She shuddered and squeezed her eyes shut, denying the tears that poured from them and formed in rivulets down her face.

Is Cyril an ancient name, Roxy? Even if it is it’s out on a limb.
It’s all Oliver’s Army and associates, and I don’t think there were any Ted’s or Bill’s?

Hey Roxy,

I liked this paragraph very much
Although I see Martin's point about the name.

(I write historicals too; a different continent tho )
