Thank you, Aquarius.
I am currently working on a novel with the aim of completing for spring 2022. The initial setting is a hotel in Naples during an earthquake, but mostly, the book gives a nostalgic insight into South Manchester, UK through the eyes of two Mancunian women – two strangers - trapped in the ladies' toilets for almost a week.
In terms of social class, they are worlds apart, but one thing they have in common is skeletons in their cupboards which they realize they cannot take to the grave. (less)

A Glimmer Through the Breach by Juliet Ayres
“Naples, however, did not need buskers: the cacophony of frenzied traffic made its own music with melodic beeping of horns in a repertoire of rhythms and beats reflecting drivers’ moods. Stravinsky might have composed the music as a choreographer might have choreographed the vehicles’ dances – zigzagging, twisting, turning, stopping and starting.”

A Glimmer Through the Breach by Juliet Ayres
“Like a hypnotist's pendulum, the spectacular chandelier swung to and fro, to and fro before playing tinkling tunes on its descent. Like the crescendo of crashing cymbals in Tchaikovsky’s ‘1812 Overture’, a dramatic finale ensued as it smashed to the ground.”

“At least the presence of Harry, her tabby cat, purring softly and weaving in and out of her legs was better than no company at all.”
Juliet Ayres, Caught on the Web

“Can I get two coffees?’
Joanna cringed. That cashier ought to tell her straight that she may have two coffees, but she certainly can’t get them because customers aren’t allowed behind the counter!”
Juliet Ayres, Caught on the Web

“Looking for my final love with someone who is ready to settle down. Of course dating is great initially, but I don’t wish to be dating indefinitely, so if you’re looking for an indefinite dating partner, please pass me by.”
