Kimi's Secret

John Hudspith

Roll up, roll up...


When a crow crashes into the patio doors and talks about impending death, you might think you were cracking up, right? But when a thunderbolt explodes right where your parents are playing golf and you’re swiftly surrounded by poltergeist activity before being whisked to a dimension where paranormal is the norm, magic is mojo, and pink is outlawed; you soon accept that reality is madder than madness.

Twelve year-old Kimi Nichols is thrown headfirst into a sinister world of mayhem where roast dodo is the dish of the day and Adepts rule the roost. There are lives to save and only Kimi can be the saviour. Monkey police, vermin fairies, drunken trolls, aliens called greylians, a Scotsman named Sue who suffers from OCD, and a wise old taxidermist and his gravity-defying clowns all come to Kimi’s aid as she fights to master her mojo and save the day.

***

The early version of Kimi's Secret won one of youwriteon.com's Book of the Year awards. The novel has now been through draft #679 and is tighter than a fairy’s yelp - so I’m told.

I'm now looking for representation.

Hi Andi, here for the requested backing, and yes, for a rare change I'm backing this one - AC doesn't just tick the boxes it fills them up like loaded jack-in-the-boxes - delve in and your super-sharp prose explodes in a blaze of blazing blazy stuff. Love it, and hope you do well! view book

here for the read as requested. But what can i say other than this is nothing short of an outstanding work. I chose chapters at random and got dragged into each one. Great writing! view book

Let me clarify what I mean about the style of chapter 1 being more suited to the 9-11 market. Take some time to consider a few things which form the structure of younger writing. Character name choice for example: Freddy and Charlie are happy sounding names which evoke impish qualities. One feels fr... view book

Hi Lisa, Well, I’m impressed. You have certainly taken my critique on board and the result is quite outstanding. No more messing about! The story is clear on the page, easy to follow, and why? Because you have cut away all those superfluous words and got straight to the point. (Though do look at th... view book

Hello peeps. Here for the read as requested. This has huge potential, is extremely well-written so far as pace, imagery, characterisation (Trist is cool!), and most importantly: story, is concerned. However, for me, there are two major flaws. The first, and simple to correct, is chapter length. They... view book
