Excerpt from Starfish Cottage
I just got Starfish Cottage back from the first round of edits! Here is an excerpt:
Maddie gave another tug on the drawer. Still stuck. She planted her feet firmly in front, grabbed the small knob with both hands and…
Ooompf!
The drawer suddenly decided to unstick. She fell backwards, landing on the floor with a thud, the drawer still in her hand. A piece of paper floated out and landed beside her.
“Are you okay? What was that?” Jules’ concern on the other end of the phone warmed her heart.
“I’m fine, I finally got that drawer opened.”
Jules laughed. “Did you fall on your butt?”
“Yes.” Maddie picked up the paper. It was a recipe. Etta Harper’s Whisky Fudge. Etta Harper must have once been the owner of the cottage. How interesting. Maddie remembered Pearl saying something about a mystery involved with the original owner. Did the recipe have something to do with it? And who ate whiskey fudge?
