about me

I've been a nurse, a croupier, a stock market trader, an actress for ten years and a housewife for the last two, though I've been so busy trying to write I haven't had time for housework yet.
My manuscript is complete at 84,000 words but I've uploaded only a portion of it.

I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT WRITING ON AUTHONOMY, FOR WHICH I'M VERY GRATEFUL. BUT TO BE HONEST, THE MAIN REASON FOR BEING HERE WAS TO GET PUBLISHED. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN UNTIL I WAS ON THE POINT OF TAKING MY BOOK OFF THE SITE. THE WONDERFUL ANDREW BRENTON AT ENDAXI PRESS WILL PUBLISH IT EARLY IN 2012.
I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SAY IT, BUT I'VE AUTHONOMY TO THANK.
AND THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO BOTHERED TO READ MY BOOK AND TELL ME HOW TO MAKE IT BETTER.
THE VERY BEST OF LUCK TO YOU. XXXXX

Deadly Nevergreen

Lynn Clayton

Saxon burial mounds and smugglers' caves; thatched cottages and village churches; not a setting in which you'd expect to be kicked to death.


Kicked to death - that's what happened to Naomi Long.

Mind you, she asked for it. If you persist in photographing copulating couples, if you persist in exploiting your position as post office clerk to blackmail benefit cheats, you're bound to come across a bit of low-life who's not going to stand for it.

And if you ignore the clearest of all warnings from the spirit world, and even on the sleepy Isle of Wight go traipsing over the downs alone, don't be surprised if somebody puts the boot in.

Not forgetting Kelly and poor little Jade, off on a trip to London and getting their heads cut off. Well, good riddance. Poor little Jade, indeed. With a mother like Kelly, she'd have grown up a psychopath. Whoever killed them did the world a favour.

Of course, Inspector Chaudhuri is obliged to investigate - that's the law. But some people deserve to be murdered. It's another word for execution.

Not something I would read from choice being a conventional soul but there's plenty of zany characterisation in the dialogue if I can call it that, and a well-described world within a world. Could be a hit. backed with best wishes. lynn view book

Each story has its own themes and pre-occupations, subtle but there. Your characters are clear and differentiated, the settings letting us know exactly where we are. The only thing I missed was hearing how your characters speak. Dialogue is not as important in short stories as full-length novels an... view book

Dorian is haunted by the song and your prologue haunts us. His icy hands , speed of movement , his pallor and the changing colour of his eyes is subtly suggested. At first we're not quite sure what it is about his appearance that's strange to humans, like the people who cross themselves as he passe... view book

There's an ancient feel with the obsession for bricks like the Albigensians who built the first cathedrals . There's also great significance in water and in using the right word so as not to give offence. This gives an ominous feel - people are wary of doing and saying the wrong thing. Will it cause... view book

Neil, your pitch is excellent. I've read the first fours chapters and I think you've got a winner of a book. It's well-written but light, exciting and even - dare I say it - commercial. The plot as it unfolds at the beginning, with Rachel lured under the promise of an audition into a situation whe... view book
