Today, I'm allowing you to peek into Ellie's Legacy, a favorite western historical of mine because I love my sassy, tomboy heroine. Here she is in a scene in which she's set to prove that her secret shooting lessons have allowed her to "outdo" her pa's ranch foreman. Will she? At what reward? Guess you'll have to read more if you want to know. (See, that's the great part of peeking...it's supposed to make you want more.) Have I succeeded?
Here are my six paragraphs:
Ty had already tethered his horse and busied
himself setting up a line of cans along a fallen log. Ellie found a stump and
sat, her heartbeat sounding in her ears.
He straightened from his task and glanced over
at her. “You ready?”
She stood on wobbly legs. “I…I guess.”
“You don’t sound too convincing. We can call
the whole thing off if you aren’t feeling sure of yourself.”
Oh, that irritating tone in his voice. Call it
off? Not a chance. She could do this—she had to do this. Besides,
his attitude was downright insulting. “I’m quite confident
about my abilities, thank you.” Ellie spoke through clenched teeth.
She brushed by him and walked toward the
target area. With a glance over her shoulder,
she feigned confidence. “So how are we going to do this?”
