Posted on Sun, 08 May 2016

I really enjoyed this.  It's a cliche to say 'we've all been there', and maybe not exactly in that way, but the emotions are so recognisable, and the remedies, with personal variations, are pretty universal.  The bit about social media made me...

The strands all coming

Posted on Mon, 28 Mar 2016

The strands all coming together and it is still well controlled - the reader feels confident that you have command of the plot! (Not always the case with thrillers).  Marc has a real depth of character - I like the way you present the loving...

Posted on Thu, 08 Oct 2015

The opening paragraphs of this chapter are absolutely splendid writing.  For me, Marc is the most vivid of all the characters.  The bit about the hip being a pestle and mortar is particularly striking.

Also another development in this...

Hi

Hi

I'm rattling through this - enjoying very much.  The details you have put in to evoke the period are very effective.  I was very struck in a previous chapter how you caught the murk and grime of seventies Britain, and the feel you have...

Posted on Wed, 27 Apr 2016

One of the things I really like about this story is the way you anchor it with precise detail and description - lots of day to day stuff that gives the people and the place solidity and believability,  so important when your plot centres on the...

Posted on Wed, 20 Apr 2016

It is difficult to read, particularly on a screen.  The words themselves provide the cumulative effect you seem to be aiming for, powerfully building to the denoument.  I don't think you need this particular formatting.

 You have not put this piece

Posted on Tue, 19 Apr 2016

 You have not put this piece as fiction so I am assuming it is at least partly personal experience.  It must have been very difficult to write.   You've captured the heightened emotion of such an occasion, the artificiality and sometimes surreal...

Posted on Mon, 18 Apr 2016

I'm not a fan of the Family, but I felt for her son, posing for 'that' picture.  Choosing between the symbolism of doing it and the symbolism of not.  Whatever the perks, I wouldn't fancy life as a signifier.

Posted on Sun, 17 Apr 2016

Interesting idea with lots of detail -  is ths part of something longer or are you thinking of expanding it?  Lazlo sounds like a character with lots of potential for development before his sad demise.  Or was it his demise?  I think there were...

Particularly liked the portrayal of the relationship between George and Mary - very moving.  I find the way you are introducing the characters very interesting - they appear, with their own stories, as needed by the plot.  You haven't followed...
