Dear Graham
OMG amazing book cover love it. loved your short and long pitch both really sell your book which they are meant too so CONGRATS, and love the way you write. Your ability with words to craft an orginal read is amazing. the characters have decided to take up permanent residence but i will insist they leave soom to go home. ha! I have to wonder on this site at the
creations that come from peoples heads and of course the immense talent of those like yourself to animate
such colorful characters. I truly wish I had half your talent.

BACKED BY ME FOR SURE.
Please take a moment to look, COMMENT which is important to me, and BACK my book. if not that is OK
also

The VERY best of luck to you

Dear Graham, I just backed your other book & discovered this one, part 1 :) - so will read, comment, & back it, too. :) Your pitch really brought out the adventurous spirit in me & I like the way you put me right in your book to feel what your characters are feeling. :) Your dialogue & paragraphs are tight, providing a nice read. :) I will now go to your 2nd book. :) Hope you'll take a moment to back my 2 memoir books. :) Thanks a bunch. :) Love, Susie :)

this is a good pitch evoking images of man against a bleak and torturous landscape, looking for that one beacon of light. The writing is very good and was further in before i knew it. excellent

Sounds like an interesting story. Your pitch did a good job of drawing me in. Backed.

Not normally my genre but your cover really caught my eye. This book not only has a great pitch but it comes through with edgy and sharp prose! I like and can relate to all the characters. Polished and therefore BACKED! You should do very well here. Check out The Cheech Room = you will like the style.

I love the cover and your pitches work well. First impressions - this is very curious. An unsettling, dream/nightmare-like world told in terse note form. It sent shivers down my spine, particularly at the end of the first chapter when we learn he's dead. I was so intrigued I read past my usual three chapters (and by the way, Chapter 3 and 4 are the same - some glitch in uploading?). I really like your writing - it's so clean and simple and yet every so often you drop in a totally lovely image (I loved the baby - 'she holds him like a book' - perfect description).
A very clear unusual voice and page-turning despite its oddity. I like it a lot and am happy to back you with this.

This was an interesting read, a bit reminiscent of John Brunner's Man In Black. Definitely one to savour. Jim D Serpent's Blood

The cover is superb and matches the book. Courageous style which works completely, conveying so much distress in the minimalist narration and repetitions. One of the best things I've read anywhere. backed. lynn

This is very imaginative for the reader, through the MC's eyes, his thoughts, his feelings, his angst. It's different and potent. I stopped to back this, but will read more.

This is unusual and talented work. Backed for originality. All the best, Sana x

This is indeed an intriguing read, like the staccato writing at the beginning it supplies to the hook to read further.

Can't wait to see what happens to all those people.

Great work

Your voice is original and once I got used to it, I saw the picture you painted. I will have to come back to this, I'm interested to find out about Graham with the three fingers, what happened to the baby, why the ear and nose bleeds, why did the kid with the bulbous tongue frighten him so much (although he probably would have scared me with that laugh too) You've set the scene well, and now I want the answers. Time short. Won't allow. Sorry. Will come back... shit, you've got me at it now! And I thought my writing was tight.
Good luck with this. It's different. (hey did I tell you I hate sci-fi) well done, kept me reading.
Best wishes

A Boy Called George

Good strong voice and a fabulous archeaology of menace going on in the text - the ordinary details of a day revealing a map of subtarrenean meanings. This is like a kind of purgatory between two worlds, neither of which is quite any longer accessible without some elusive key. Like those moments in life when our inner and outer worlds no longer converge and we feel like we're in a world of our own. If you can keep up the pace and tension this should be a fabulous book.

Graham you have a really good pitch and it made me want to read more. You may want to think about spacing the words out a little. Your opening chapters are easy to read and you give good attention to detail.

Backed:)

I hope 2010 is a great year for you and your book.
Warm regards,

Thank you all for you lovely comments - really encouraging and much appreciated. Once my dinner has gone down, i will get to grips with this site and start reading your work too.

I look forward to it.

Thanks again

I liked the short pitch ... think the longer pitch could be broken up a bit more, editing wise. Besides that, SHELVING your effort.

I can use your comments on my book when you get the chance. Cheers!

Nice premise that made me want to read this. Its a fascinating tale from what I have read so far, its like I'm in an endlessly engaging dream, and I wan't to know what happens next!

Thank you so much Eamonn - very kind and very encouraging. I have only just realised that i uploaded the 'raw' chapters last night, instead of the nice pretty final versions - good catch, I shall correct that!

Thanks again for your comment!

I like the opening, and the general style, which I found easy to read. The pace, tone and rhythm are all appropriately synchronised to the content - and saying all that doesn't reflect how hard that is to achieve, certainly it is something I have never managed to do! In my personal and v humble opinion, it might be worth considering putting the text in double spacing and possibly a larger font, as some readers might find the small text difficult to read off a computer screen.
Fair play and good luck with this one. Backed :)
