Another NaNoWriMo excerpt for you all to sink your teeth into. Hope you enjoy it. As always, comments are welcome.


I stood against the wall of a nondescript building staring patiently at the door to Williamson Tailoring across the road. Waiting for Jacob to emerge from the day’s work, I mentally checked the equipment I brought with me. I would have to follow Jacob to ensure that he would be making his occasional visit to the Boar’s Snout today. This would give me the...

Here's a small excerpt from my NaNoWriMo novel. Any and all comments are appreciated.
