LOGLINE: A recent college graduate accepts an overseas position with a U.S. based oil company in Kazakhstan where she is mistaken for an international spy.
Hello my fellow Sixers! I am so excited to participate in the Weekend Writing Warriors!! 
I’m working on many projects, from short stories, to novels to screenplays and a TV Pilot. In fact, this year, I will be sending off my very first movie I filmed to the comedy film festivals as well as other popular festivals like Sundance and Cannes. The movie and book can be found here. My TV Pilot tentatively called COLD-DE-SAC has a comedy spy theme. The website can be found here. The following excerpt is from my WIP comedy/mystery spy novel called Expat. Think: Spies Like Us meets “New Girl.” 
Enjoy!

CHAPTER ONE
Foreign Language
Tammy Klimber scooted the chair closer to the computer screen. “Perfect,” she smiled.
“There’s only one thing missing from your résumé,” Eddie Neece snickered. His freckly arm nudged her gently on the shoulder.
“Oh yeah, Eddie? What?” Tammy asked smugly. She tucked her straight chestnut hair behind her ear as she stood up allowing Eddie momentarily to take control of the scene. She glimpsed the blackboard at the front of the Career Services Lab at the university, and there marked in white chalk read: Making the transition from academic life to a chosen career — congratulations 2013 graduates.
Great description!
Perfect descriptions to set the scene.
“She tucked her straight chestnut hair behind her ear”
Well done!
Hey!! Carrie, nice to “see” you! Wow, you are a busy girl. I’m so glad to read about all you have going on–and wish you much luck.
Excellent scene set up and descriptions in your snippet.
I like the part about her freckly arm.
You have some great details in this writing. And it’s great you’re BACK! Yay!
Yes. I’m back!! I missed all you guys and love the new name: “Weekend Writing Warriors.”
Interesting. So I take it at this point she has no chosen career huh? I’ll have to follow along and see what she gets herself into. Good lead in.
Yes. You’re right — no “chosen” career. I’m weaving the mystery ever so slightly to maintain curiosity. My plot points and clues are strategically written in outline. (me hopes)
Agreed–excellent set up! Draws me slowly into the scene and intrigues me. Great snippet!
Hello Joanne! Thank you.
Welcome back, Carrie. I’ve missed your snippets. This one was a wonderful setup.
Hey GF, Missed you big time and so pleased you’re up to your hips in work. Interesting eight.
I’ve really missed reading your excerpts!!! Happy to see you here…wow, best wishes with ALL the projects…and I enjoyed today’s snippet.
And thus she begins her trek out of Kansas…
Good luck with all your ventures.
The description and the subtle choreography in this snippet are spot on. Well done and good luck with your many projects.
As always wonderful detail and I wonder what she left off her resume…
Very nice and good luck this year
Hi, Carrie! Your imagination is in overdrive!
I think you’re right. Maybe, I should go exercise.
Very vivid scene.
Welcome to WeWriWa, Carrie! Great to have you with us! I like the idea here, and the camel on the cover.
One suggestion. “His freckly arm nudging her gently on the shoulder” is a fragment. Change the period on the prior sentence to a comma, attach this to it, and you’re good.
Well heck if it ain’t. Ugh. I think at time I was thinking of the sentence in my head, I meant to write ‘nudging’ as ‘nudged’ but obviously it didn’t come out that way. Changing. Thanks!
I loved the description of his freckly arm and tucking her hair. Very good visual. Looking forward to hearing more.
Thanks Brenda. Swinging by your site soon!
and speakiing of camels – you will see more soon
The British kind. Bwahaha.
