Again I would like to thank you for your help with the rewrites. I agree the new opening is so much better and far more dramatic. However, do you REALLY need to suggest such things at 1 in the morning?

Dear Brain

Whilst I agree being awake at 2am has its benefits; especially as I’ve worked out I need to change the location of murder two and lengthen the time frame of the whole book. Can I please go back to sleep?
Burning question

Six people give an account of a dinner party. One member of the party doesn’t mention one of the guests at all during his account. Why not?

January Blogging Challenge: Imaginary Friend
posted by MoreThanACat
“If Sarah wasn’t a writer,” OH said over dinner, “I’m sure she’d be schizophrenic.” As you can imagine, Mother was horrified. A brussel sprout clattered back onto her plate. A dead ringer for Her Majesty in a younger day, she called on that to deliver a stinging retort. It involved the words “bloody” and “idiot”. […]
In the wee small hours

I woke to the sound of a heavy breathing dog. He had moved. His fan (a dyson – yes I know, spoilt) was no longer cooling him down. For my own sanity, I sorted it out: until he moved again. Then with morpheous ignoring my pleas, I went to read the BBC news and catchup […]

Engineering Rows
This week I’ve been doing a lot of thinking rather than a lot of writing. Being stuck in traffic is like that. And I’ve been thinking about my victim. Well one of them. A chap by the name of Sir Martin Hamblebee. In my head he’s a nasty piece of work. A bully. A pompous […]
5 Questions for Authors: Ann Wuehler
Until recently, all I knew about Ann was that she wrote for the same publisher as I do (KGHH), and lives in the same state as my cousin (Oregon). So I asked her to give me a bit of a biography, which was a good thing because her writing credentials are epic. Make me feel […]
