I'll Be Watching You

by David Loan

A 3-minute dance with a girl who hardly notices him. But for Donovan Smith, the dance never ends. Twenty-five years on the temptation to stalk her is only a mouse click away: to seek out what he longed for a quarter of a century earlier. No one can feel safe in the past now, and in a story laying bare the sinister potential of the internet, Donovan's obsession entwines their lives. But as he breaks cover with the secret world he's built for himself, the web will destroy them both. Available on Amazon as ebook or paperback

About the author

I was born in Yorkshire, England, the son of a coalminer. My love of words was fostered initially by reading comics, and I went on from that to read voraciously, enjoying novels,poems and plays from all eras and cultures. I have done a variety of jobs - steelworks labourer, hotel pot washer, grape-picker, postman, pneumatic drill operator, gardener and trainee teacher to name a few.
"I'll Be Watching You" is my first novel, and I wanted to write a story showing how much the internet has opened us all up to scrutiny often without our knowledge and against our wishes. It is a story of infatuation and obsession, focussing on the lives of two families over 25 years; I hope I have created something with universal appeal, but you can be the judge of that

Reviews

[Marguerite Czajka]

The further I read into this book, the more I was hooked. The plot reminded me of The Great Gatsby, a yearning for the unattainable.
