The Fall, is unfortunately unfinished, but something that I would dearly like to complete at some stage. It was always designed to be a sequel (of kinds) to Flyht but I think it’s actually more likely to be a companion piece, completely separate in plot but sharing some of the same themes and magicks. I guess I could let you have a read of first chapter if you like?

It looks like you write my kind of thing – stories set in the real world but with a large dose of magick for those who know where to look. I particularly like the sound of “The Fall”. I think I’d really like to read that one 🙂

I enjoy reading your thought processes – especially for your own novels – because I get to see how other people tie the threads together. I’m already fascinated to know what Helen experiences in the mountains, and it’s interesting that you haven’t decided what that is yet. It is a curious thing, to understand what the impact of an event on a character will be, but not actually know what the event is yet.

Also, it is interesting to see just how important it is that I write what I know. Writers always say this of course, but only when trying it for myself does it become obvious how much I’m relying on my unique set of experiences. In fact, the whole point of writing a novel seems to me to be about expressing the totality of a set of experiences that very few people would otherwise understand or share.
