This has a good page-turning quality, and a neat use of an opening and closing structure. My frustration was in the lack of depth. The story relied on the action, and when that wasn’t pertinent, on voiced fear, but we learned very little about the me ...more | |

'Gothic' in both tone and storyline, I was carried along by events, weighing whether Grace was being haunted by the culmination of her own perceived shortcomings, or by a boy from beyond the grave. The author kept me guessing. And it wasn't just the ...more | |

The author has a name for writing slow-burn, deeply cutting, suspense thrillers. ‘The Calculations of Rational Men’ – a quote from the late President John F Kennedy – is no exception, and short excerpts from declassified papers make the storyline all ...more | |

Much slower than I want it to at the moment. Too many claims on my concentration with other projects. After hassles with multiple publishers and an agent I went indie when the ebook market opened, but its been a big learning curve. There again, what isn't?
People keep asking how much of me there in in Charlie Fox and vice versa. I used to claim it was all made up but they didn't believe me anyway so now I just say it's entirely autobiographical :)
Oh please, tell me about it! Do these people have no imagination? At least you *look* as if you could carry off yours, unlike me - LOL!
Have a good weekend.
