Hi, I'm currently 25% through Bob, I'm enjoying it, but wondered if you should be aiming at younger readers (lets face it I'm 60)? I think a younger audience might enjoy it too (unless it gets nasty towards the end)! Tora (I know Kerry)

Hi Tora,
The truth is, I don't really choose who reads my book. I advertise "A Corpse Called Bob" through different platforms and, I guess due to the fact that older people read more, it tends to be people 30 and up who buy it.
It's my first adult novel and I wrote about ten kids books before this one - which I'm about to start releasing - so maybe I have a tendency to write stories that could appeal to multiple age groups.
And, don't worry, it doesn't get any nastier. I think the first page is the nastiest by most people's standards. Thanks very much for reading, I hope you love every page!

No question, but I agree with Janet the Lord Edgington series is wonderful. It's a breath of fresh air, coming from the perspective of a teenager, and I enjoy the dog being included. I find things, places, and terms in the books unfamiliar to me as they are British by nature, and they become points of discussion for me and my boyfriend, who is originally from London. Thanks!!!?
