about me

MA is keeping me pretty busy just now so I won't be reading much. Feel free to continue leaving requests and I'll hopefully get some time to take a look.

**WARNING: MAY CONTAIN NUTS!**

FOR YOUR INFORMATION: I am happy to give anything a read, particularly if it is YA or Children's fiction. However, if you leave a message simply promising a return backing it means you'll end up at the bottom of my 'to read list' because you clearly haven't taken the time to look at my profile... I quite clearly have no book uploaded. A last ditch to get on the Ed's desk will also fail to win me over, convince me your book is worth the read and I'll most likely read it :D

Firstly this is definitely firmly within childrens fiction and not YA as has been mentioned by others(with a 13 year old protaganist I would say somewhere in the 8-12 range). Synopsis is definitely intriguing, sounds like plenty of scope for adventure. Ch1-4 There's a lot here seems unneces... view book

Just looked at chapter's one and two. This is beautifully written although I do think in places it suffers from overwriting and occasional repetition. As beautifully written as it is I don't think it is suitable for the children's market as you have tagged. The language and style of it is much mo... view book

The only things I would suggest is going through and tightening the sentences and taking out some of the repetition, there's a fair bit of it and should be easy to spot. I'm having diffic... view book

Backed earlier and finally got a chance to come back and comment. I read the first three stories and enjoyed all of them, they remind me of the ghost/horror anthologies I used to read a few years back. There are a couple of typos but I couldn't see anything major. I particularly liked the second ... view book

I don't read many crime thrillers but when I do there needs to be something a bit different about them. This book fits perfectly into that what I would category. Well written with plenty of tension and interesting characters this book deserves its place on the ED. Anne view book
