Welcome Wednesday – Opening Lines
Welcome to this week’s edition of Welcome Wednesdays!
We have a very simple assignment for all you authors today. We all know how important beginnings are, so today I want you to give us the opening line(s) of one of your books – it can be one sentence, or up to a paragraph, whatever makes sense for you.
And be sure to leave a link to your book so we can read more about it, too!
