Interesting premise and setting.
ReplyDeleteWho is the main character? The guy, or the female? Is this a new direction for your work? (crime thrillers)Sorry, lots of questions. . .
Anything you put your name to, pure gold! Gold I tell you!

ReplyDeleteLuke Winters is the narrator. I wrote this in 2011, experimenting with another genre.
I hope your burdens grow less very soon!! :-)

That's very kind of you to say. It makes my afternoon. I slept 14 hours straight, fighting exhaustion from the job and from the flu that is trying to gain a foothold in my system!! :-)
Sounds great, Roland. D.G. brings up an interesting question. Your characters are so strong, have you ever written from multiple POVs?

I now know for sure, that you do not sleep. Another book????
ReplyDeleteAs always I wish you well, Roland. It sounds good. Here's to many book sales :)

ReplyDeleteI wrote all of THE LAST FAE from the eyes of Fallen, a saucy Sidhe. END OF DAYS is told through the eyes of Alice Wentworth.
LAST EXIT TO BABYLON is mostly narrated by Blake Adamson. But one chapter is told by Kirika, a Ningyo goddess. Three more chapters are told by Fallen, the last Fae, again.
GHOST OF A CHANCE is told mostly by me -- but there are chapters told through the eyes of Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway, and Raymond Chandler.
RITES OF PASSAGE and ADRIFT IN THE TIME STREAM have prologues and epilogues written through the eyes of William Faulkner.
Thanks for the compliment of having strong characters!
Wendy:
This is one of my "forgotten" books written in 2011. It is a short book, and hopefully many will take a chance on it!
I have a Luke Winter Boston tale a third of the way done. Think THE CONJURING.
I have the rough draft of a third tale of Luke and Victoria in the musty corners of my mind, too.
Thanks for the well wishes! :-)
