by Karen Michelle Nutt

Hello Readers!

Welcome to Snippet Sunday. This is another snippet from Magic of the Loch. Today's snippet is a couple of sentences later from last week.

If you missed last weeks snippet, here's the link: Chapter 2 #12 (Alan's POV).

The Wild Rose Press
Kindle
NOOK

Set up for the scene: Michaela agrees to let Alan and Hyatt give her a tour of the loch so she can search for the legendary Loch Ness Monster. They've arrived in front of Castle Urquhart where most of the sightings of the Loch Ness Monster have been. Alan goes on to describe the ancient castle in loving detail. Michaela learns the laddies believe "Nessie" exists... surprise, surprise. lol

***Note: Snippet has been modified to fit the 8 sentence limit.

**********************************************************************************************************

Now for the snippet: (Alan's POV) (Michaela is speaking first.)

She looked toward the castle again. “I’ll have to take a tour of Castle Urquhart, while I’m here.”

“Oh aye,” Hyatt agreed. “Ye doonae want to miss its grandness.”

“I’m takin’ the boat out this way tomorrow.” Alan heard himself say.

Both Michaela and Hyatt’s gaze riveted to him. This should have been a big clue to keep his mouth shut, but it seemed his tongue had a mind of its own. “I could give ye a lift.”

*********************************************************************************************************

Oh Alan, you have it bad. lol

Find out next week with more of Alan's POV.

  1. Your writing is wonderful, Karen! I adore the dialect–it helps in my visual too, if that makes any sense. 🙂 “Ye doonae want to miss its grandness.” Perfect!

  4. I missed the last couple of excerpt from this story and this one has me intrigued all over again. Alan, oh dear, what’s he getting himself into? Nice excerpt.

  9. He DOES have it bad and we love it LOL. Normally I shy away from books with dialect but yours is just so lilting and so perfect for the story, I’m very much enjoying it. Excellent excerpt!

  12. I so like the dialect in your writing. And “his tongue has a mind of its own” is a good way of putting it when somebody is too impulsive, speaks before thinking of the consequences. Really like this.

  15. Dialect is spot on! As well as Alan’s offer and the others reaction to it, giving us a glimpse to what his heart is feeling. Great 8!
