I thought it was a bit more
Posted on Sat, 31 Oct 2020

You have so cleverly created
Posted on Thu, 23 Jul 2020
You have so cleverly created an atmosphere where their nerves are jangling, and everyone they come across might be an enemy. And then it's a relief when someone is kind to them, but the reader is still on edge because it might not last. The...

Completely echo Drew's comment. I love hearing writers read their work, it always brings an extra dimension to it. And no ashtrays heard here, either!
