Extract from The Brittle Land, Book Two in The Brittle Saga Trilogy.
It was the soft sound of her own gentle snoring that woke her.
She sat up and looked around, blinking the sleep from her eyes. She seemed to be in an office. She yawned and looked around again, suddenly realising she recognised nothing. The office, the desk, the bottle of bourbon and the chair she sat in. Even her clothing was alien to her. She sat; body stiffened at the shock of waking up in an environment she had never seen before. Nothing was familiar. Her arms were on the leather chair’s arms, her hands gripping the chair’s arms tightly.
A knock on the office door startled her. The door opened and a little man looked around the door. “The doctor is here, Ma’am. He’s with your husband.”
She stared at him, open mouth working, but no words coming out.
“Are you okay, Ma’am?”
“Who… who are you? Where am I?”

Releasing extracts from a book that is the second in a trilogy, and continues where the first book finished, as well as making a big cliff-hanger reveal, can be a little fraught for any author. I’m trying not to give anything away. So here we are, just a little snippet. Click here for more details – The Brittle Land.
Here’s a link to the last book in the trilogy, The Brittle Sky.
