about me

I'm writing for young adults, and hopefully older ones too. This book has been a labour of love for almost three years now.

I've recently re-written the first five chapters plus edited the whole book (I've loaded up to Chpt 17, the rest is available). Your input has really helped so thanks to everyone commenting, I do welcome all advice and feedback, even the tough stuff.

The completed novel is 89,000 words.

Pierre, This is fantastic, congratulations, I read for a while but need to leave, (I've been in France writing, and alas must return home today). I got to the end of Chapter Two.

Just read chapter five. Its definitely a strong concept. Keep going with it. Her 'thoughts' are really quite irritating though, strip them out where you can. For example: 'I'm alive, so what the hell is going on here' Try deleting that completely . You don't need it. Sharpen up the dialogue al... view book

Hello, horrible late with this review, sorry. I haven't been on the site for ages, (long story but it wouldn't make a good novel). Anyway, I read up until chapter 4.

ooh its a bit violent isn't it? - good writing, tight dialogue and authentic feel generally. Its also very visual, graphic, (especially the violent bits!). I could do with a little less dialect but I know its a fine balance, something that probably varies from reader to reader. Also I'm English, whi... view book
