A COURTYARD GARDEN by acwhitehouse Word Count: 1000

A true story for the womag market. Not ever so exciting but maybe it'll be seen as one of those ones people can relate to. Or maybe it's just shite. You be the judge.

Amelia`s Body, revised. by acwhitehouse Word Count: 2796
4  Comments

It's the first 2,800 words. I know that's a biggish chunk by WW standards, so you don't need to print all of it. It's a 2-strand crime novel. There's the Investigation, and then there's an alternating Post Mortem strand, which exposes the backstories behind some of the marks/scars on the body of the victim. An agent has just requested the 'full' and I have 4 weeks to get it up to scratch!

An unlikely friendship blossoms in the garden of a once-great country house. An old-fashioned little story but I make no apologies for that.

Love child by acwhitehouse Word Count: 2550

A marriage on the rocks, a friendship put at risk, secrets and lies in contemporary suburbia. A 'talking heads' style piece - all dialogue.

Amelia has been chasing her good-for-nothing boyfriend all over town, trying to explain to him why he needs to exit stage left - and sharpish. The man he tried to double-cross has found them all out. What she doesn't know is that the mysterious Mr Garcia is someone she already knows, and he's following her.
