#CleanWIP Ryan's Reckless Bride:
Ryan washed his hands, while Annalyn hung his hat on the hook. “Something sure smells delicious.” Burnt was more accurate, but this was no time for full-fledged honesty. Why make matters worse?
“Thank you. I fixed a roast. Are you ready to eat?”

“I tried to plan something really perfect, and really meaningful. I thought about hiring a skywriter, or a flash mob, or leaving a trail of rose petals to a tent full of lights or something. But in the end, I’m a simple guy. I decided to do something from my heart.” #CleanWIP

From my current WIP, The Gambit Queen, Book Three of The Magdalen Cycle, an historical fantasy set during the crusades…
Isabella wore only a thin chemise, but the heat of the candles brought beads of sweat to her brow. She swooned a little, but tightened her grasp on the beads. A pain lanced through her back. Nothing uncommon with this child. “Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum…” she said, wincing, mouthing the words of the prayer in a murmur. Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee…

Although I was born Jennifer Denise Foster, the only person who uses my full name is my dad and only when he’s angry. Unfortunately, he’s always angry. I can’t remember the last time he called me Jenny. ~ #CleanWIP (theme: full)

The CleanWIP Experience

We work closely with published authors and writers who are aspiring to be published as well as other creative people such as artists, poets, and songwriters in our CleanWIP Facebook group for authors (et al) and via the #CleanWIP hashtag game to bring readers interesting sneak peeks into their works-in-progress plus full-featured articles, personal reflections on the thoughts and struggles from a rough draft to a published work, and special collaborations on various topics.

We encourage authors to use the #CleanWIP hashtag to share sneak peeks related to the day’s theme from unpublished works. This helps us provide content our readers love and expect. For the same reason, we also encourage use of the hashtag for a single relevant release day announcement. On Fridays, we relax the structure even further and encourage using #CleanWIP to share relevant news, interesting teases from a work-in-progress or published work (purchase links encouraged on Fridays), or something else our readers might love. Actual use of the hashtag is not within our control and even on this site we will sometimes share #CleanWIP content that doesn’t strictly meet these guidelines.
