We start with an old man, on a porch. With a shotgun...his only friend?

Okay..you have my interest.

Death comes a-calling. He goes through the glass. He comforts a boy...his own younger self? We'll see.

This spirals into a surreal dream, nightmare where I think I know what's going on as the old man and his past collide. This is complex work and I can feel the intensity as you got the words down.

I've got a feeling this is like pieces of a jigsaw that needs to be fitted together. Excellent stuff.

As you know~ I've read your book and think it is excellent. You have an unique style of your own and demonstrate such wonderful imagery. I think this interesting story has a great storyline and written well.

Hi Eric,
I think this is a good read. I like your style of writing, it is fresh and imaginative. You have an interesting plot here with intriguing twists - I find I want to read on. Yes, there may be some editing to do, but take your time - I made the mistake of editing out too much and had to shoe-horn stuff back in, lol! I would split your pitch into several paragraphs, I did this with mine and it makes it easier on the eye ;-) I'm not entirely sure why this isn't doing better in the charts to be honest. Thank you for an enjoyable read, already shelved!
Best wishes,
Annabelle

Thanks for taking the time to read it. I do hope you continue reading it. Yes in some places I do you first person and yes the grammar my not be what you except. It is given to give an effect at this stage of the riding where it starts off as a ten year old boy and keeping the language simple for Dramatic structure for the time period and the people around him. This book is a series of books that I am in the process of working so far I have completed two and in the process of working on the third book. Thanks again for your comments

....Shep...




Interesting beginning. I am torn over this one, because although I only read Chapter One, there are many good things to say about it. There's something almost poetic in the way you write and you move from scene to scene in a fluid easy way, though the sudden switch from third person to first person is a bit jarring.

But your punctuation, grammar and tenses need a LOT of work and until you've got that sorted out there is no point talking about the other things. Because your writing flows, I'm not quite sure whether your grammar is just bad, or whether you've consciously decided to abandon some of it for effect. Even if the latter, it jars.

Proofread!
