about me

I'm an avid reader, mainly of fiction. I've been writing for years, but have never made anything public before.

Happy to trade first chapter reads, but don't be offended if I don't reply immediately as I have been inundated with read requests!

I'll always try to comment. I generally back those I would buy. If I am late commenting do give me a nudge.

favourite books

All sorts,
Murakami,
Cold Comfort Farm,
I Capture The Castle
David Mitchell,
Margaret Atwood, esp. Oryx & Crake and The Handmaid's tale.
Jane Austen - Persuasion, of course.
Anita Blake series, Patricia Briggs and Charlaine Harris.

The Fickle Moon

Susan Kuczynska

Ex-spook/trainee werewolf seeks monsters of any variety for revenge and/or future friendship. No humans need apply. Apply PO Box 666, York.


Monsters don't exist, right? Wrong. Just ask Rowan Sweetapple. She should know - she is one.

Back in the spy game nearly two years after a near-death experience with an unnecessarily belligerent werewolf, MI5 operative Rowan Sweetapple heads to York to investigate the brutal and bloody murder of a family friend.

Still coming to terms with the consequences of her encounter, Rowan needs this job. She needs to find out how her old friend died. She needs to track down the killer, make them pay. Most of all, though, she needs to work out what type of monster she really is.

In York, she discovers a hidden world of werewolves and witches, vampires and ghosts. The question is, can Rowan infiltrate this world, solve the mystery of her old friend’s death, and bring the culprit to book?

Can Rowan Sweetapple out-monster the monsters and save the day?

This was a ripping good yarn, and you've set it up nicely for the following chapters. I though that the sorcerer might be good to start off with, then got a real shock when he iced the kids! I am keeping you on my WL for when I have shelf space. Just a couple of editing nit picks. You says... view book

This is really good! I'm not normally an historical fiction kind of girl, but this drew me in. Your pitch is intriguing and the story so far engaging. I think this will go far. Highly starred & I will keep this on my watchlist for shelving when I have a space. view book

You can certainly write, and this is the beginning of a lovely tale. Amy is believable and you have captured convincingly the voice of a teenage girl ( no mean feat!). I was engaged after the first chapter and would have read on. Great use of Charlotte Bronte & checklist of classic books. Highly ... view book

Collin, finally reviewing your book, after being caught up in the mayhem of MAYHEM. Was initially drawn to your book by the title, which is genius. Read 5 chapters, and thoroughly enjoyed the lot. Pitch - your short pitch could maybe be snappier. The word 'employed' seemed a bit pedantic. ... view book
