Oh, I hadn’t noticed that you started serialising your novel here.

Hi Claudia. Yes, I've crept it out with a soft launch, so thanks for noticing! I thought my existing @ReidItWrite subscribers - like yourself - deserved to have the first look.

Welcome back to blighty milad. Now get back to work you 'orrible layabout.

That's a very deserving competition placement, JR. Exceptionally well-chosen vocabulary, I thought - suggestive, I mean - words like 'heart' and 'virgin' and suchlike. There was also a kind of tentative fear of violation and invasion that came across, without being overstated. That bit 'Alex stroked her hair' is really dark and stood out accordingly...

That's my review anyhow.

I shall check out your new story in due course...

Thanks, Evie - encouragement noted😜. It was important to me to keep respect for the deceased at the heart of the piece and prevent any descent into a gratuitous and lurid scene.

I'm trying to not let the novel become a 'big deal' in my head, but fingers are still crossed that it's well received.
