about me

To tell the truth I am a retired publisher and my hobby is reading good books, not e-books, can't stand the bloody things. So, if I read a whole upload on this site, then the book is good.

What a nice, sad story, I think children would like to read your stories. Your style is a little unusual, especially the dialogue, I thought someone else was speaking, then I saw it was a pause between sentences. I suggest you look at the way other authors write their dialogue. I see you have bac... view book

Hello, my name is Annette, Mr van de Locht (my uncle) has given up his site to me, as he has to work on his novel, with my cousin.

I like what you write, your words make sense, even to someone as thick as me. I got to chapter six, I had to stop as I'm pressed for time. I would like you to take a look at my characters, but I think you would find them rather thin and shallow, well some of them are, but wait until I edit, I ha... view book
