2021/11 Discussion for Simon Van der Velde's Backstories

[Jan]

Here's the place to discuss Backstories. Try it; if you like it, great. What did you get from it? ☺️

Hi Jan,
First, I should say, I'm the writer - so I have zero objectivity.
My observation is that whilst most people enjoyed this book, some definitely took offence - particularly in relation to 'The Blank Face'. Of course, I can see why. On the other hand, my stated aim was to challenge the reader's moral compass - not for the sake of it - but to explore the premise that the very best and worst of us are just human beings, (at least we began life as such) - and but for chance and circumstance, who knows what paths we may have followed...

Hi to you, Simon, and welcome to the group.
Sorry the discussion here was limited to say the least. It's sometimes that way!
Thanks for your comment, and hope you'll update us on your book (and other work) at Authors Announcing Their Work. That way you would leave this space open for the readers! 😄

[Simon]

Will do - and yes, I'll take the hint! thanks

Simon, please do post about your book at the above link or whichever of them fits best. Then I could embed a link back to get back over here!

Hi Jan,
I'm a bit hazy about how it al works - but I've posted on Authors Announcing their work - and of course, like all writers, I want to be read - so any support will be extremely welcome
