I mentioned on my Facebook page that once I hit 300 followers I would share an excerpt from another work in progress. What I didn’t mention is aside from the Prologue and this excerpt it is all I have written, though I know most of the rest of the story in my head.
Below you can find the first few paragraphs of the excerpt. If you want to read more, click the link below the excerpt.

He then offered her assistance to get down.
She was slightly ashamed that she didn’t remember his name – but with as many injured soldiers that came and went from the camp, it was growing difficult to remember them all. She placed her hands on his shoulders as his hands grasped her waist as he helped her down.
