Six Sentence Sunday - February 19, 2012

I thought I'd mix it up a little. Today's six sentences come from my debute novel, Hidden Threat.

This morning she'd spent over an hour in the bathroom doing her hair and makeup, something she never did anymore, and donned one of her new power business suits. She pulled her reddish-brown hair up off her neck in a twist to give her a more professional air, as did the three-inch black pumps she wore. She looked good in the sleek black pants suit. Of course she should, given what it had cost. The sales woman had commented how much the suit complimented her figure, and she had to admit, it did show off her assets while hiding her flaws.

She ran a hand down the front of the suit and sighed, whispering to her reflection, "Ready or not, here I come."

  3. I like this. There's a subtle underlying tension that says something is about to change. I also like the title, Hidden Threat -- that has a lot of conflict and tension in it.
