Thank you so much to all the people who have taken the time to read Lacey's House and comment on it. I'm very grateful to you all.

I don't spam people and I don't respond to spam requests so please try not to send them to me.

I am constantly amazed by the wealth of talent on Authonomy, if you are a brilliant writer waiting to be discovered then lots of luck to you. I hope your dreams come true.

Union of the Senses

Jo Graham

Sarah has the same dream every night, a dream in which she sees her family die.


Ten year old Sarah Phillips is the only survivor of the car crash that killed her family. She has no memories of them, they are hidden in the shattered remnants of her brain. They only exist in the dreams that plague her every night.


Ellie would give anything to be in Sarah's shoes, she remembers everything about her own childhood, her pale, weak mother, blood in the bathroom, the fear she carried every day.


Now Sarah is twenty one and her memory never came back, she lives a sheltered life in the care of her Aunt. Nothing ever changes which is just the way she likes it. But Ellie is determined it will not stay that way. Ellie wants Sarahs life to change, she wants to disrupt the peace that Sarah surrounds herself with.


What begins as curiosity soon spills over into obsession and the only solution lies hidden inside Sarah's empty memory.

 

Lacey's House

Jo Graham

"It began with an ending, in the darkest part of the night."


There is something about Lacey Carmichael. She is simple, childlike. The villagers view the old lady with suspicion. She is the mad woman who lives at the end of the lane, the woman whose father kept her locked away in the house behind the tall hedges until he died and the woman who some suspect of being a murderer.


To newcomer Rachel Moore she is something different altogether. She is kind and caring, the neighbour who helped her through a devastating loss. But Lacey is also secretive and reluctant to talk about the past.


As Rachel gets closer to Lacey she unravels a tale of longing, loss and devastation but it is a story which also makes her begin to question where the truth really lies.

Hi C. I really liked the idea of your book but I have to be honest and say that I found your writing more than a little inaccessible. You have a clever use of language, some of your metaphors are really appealing however I simply couldn't access the structure of your writing. The short sentanc... view book

I really enjoyed this and would be more than happy to sit and read the entire book. I found it compelling and loved your imagery. I do understand what people are saying about the quotation marks but equally I found that without them your writing takes on a kind of dreamlike, flashback quality. ... view book

Hi Kerry, This is the first book on Authonomy that I have read all of. An easy, gentle read, perfect for holidaying by the pool. I really enjoyed it and will keep it on my shelf for the time being. Lots of luck Jo G x view book

Hi Kerry, I've just finished reading all of your posted chapters and I have to say this is right up my street.. Your characters are believable (even the dead ones) and mostly likeable (except for where they are not meant to be of course). Your storyline is intriguing and engaging, your writing fl... view book

Hi Valerie, This is such a lovely, gently told tale. The fact that it is a true story makes it doubly delightful. My son, who is nine, would love this story though I think he might be a little sad at the end as Freckles returns to the wild. My only little criticism (and it is tiny) is that on... view book
