about me

Hello,
I'm on this site to improve my books, particularly 'The Resolution Game'.
I am quite happy to return critiques, but I'm not really into the whole star and bookshelf bit - if you're looking for backing, I'm probably not much good.

I'm a member of BHCG, and really am very grateful to anyone who can tell me what to fix and why.

Thanks!
C

The Resolution Game

Carlie Lee

The Resolution Game - Sadie must fight to keep her marriage and farm. But it's so hard to play when you don't know the rules...


During a dinner party, at a farm just outside Oxford, Sadie starts to feel her safe world start to tilt. It's New Year's Eve and they are with old uni friends of Harry’s. The ones who knew Harry back in the day. The ones who knew where Harry’s secrets were buried. The secrets Sadie never even knew existed. Playing the Resolution Game was dangerous before - this time it could be absolutely catastrophic.

Hello Authonomies! I'm after constructive critique, so please feel free to tell me what stops you reading and why...promise not to sulk! This is a completed novel of 92k words.

 

Last Debt

Carlie Lee

Imagine living your dream life in the Cotswolds; beautiful house, sweet little children. Now imagine what price you'd pay to protect it.


Kate and Jack know how lucky they are; every moment of every day, they wait for their perfect life to come tumbling down. But what kind of life is that? Always waiting, always watching.

And then it happens, the knock at the door. The man that once saved Jack is back, to collect one Last Debt.

Completed novel - still need work, very grateful for any critique!

 

In The Red

Carlie Lee

Katie's the girl who has everything, but things are changing; her best friend's ran away, her husband's keeping secrets and her credit cards won't work.


In The Red is a topical tale for the throwaway generation…it’s about rediscovering traditional values and understanding the importance of friendship...and love.

Perfect reading for those who love Marian Keynes, Fiona Walker and Polly Williams

BHCG Hello Bradley, I've just read your first chapter, and I have a few comments that might help (or not). Just so you know, I like sci-fi, but wouldn't say I'm a proper fan... more of a visitor to the genre really, when chick-lit becomes too fluffy. I like the way you write, but I think som... view book

Dear Clair, I chose Fat Bottomed Girls to read after seeing it mentioned on a thread in the forum - I'm a huge Queen fan and the title made me smile. I hope you don't mind, but I made a few notes as I read... Like title Like opening para, then straight to modern day. I wondered though, if ... view book

BHCG Hello! I liked your writing, and I enjoyed reading Ch 1. I like particularly the phrasing you use, and the way you play with ideas (like viewing through the champagne). However, I very nearly didn't read at all. I chose your book because the title appealed to me, but then my brain wouldn... view book

Thank you Al! I appreciate your time and comments. I absolutely know you're right - there are too many characters - but I can't figure out how to fix it. Every one of the characters are involved in plot points, so I can't hoof them off, but you're right, too many, too quick. To be honest, it's... view book

Oh dear. I must be tremendously thick. Reading your work made me feel a little bit like being a waitress at a Tracy Emin first night, surrounded by cognescenti. I just didn't get it. I know other people get it, and I really, really want to get it, but I just don't. As I read I could feel my face mor... view book
