I've just finished reading your novel this evening. I loved it! I was there, in that manor house, I swear! And the ending.... Umffff... Brilliant stuff. Please write more!
Punch up in the garden? My copy is pre-ordered. I would like to co-author -- I like it for academic things (reports and intros) - when I get bored or tired the other person can have a go.
It might help me develop steam in my creative writing, which I do a lot of. But it never sees the light of day either because it's not very good or I get bored half way through.
I co-author as well. My writing partner and I are currently writing WW2 sagas as Ellie Curzon. We work a bit differently from you as we divide up the characters, rather than the scenes, and write together in Google Docs. I think it makes the dialogue in the book more convincing, because it really is a conversation between two people! It can be a bit difficult, though, sometimes...
BTW there are actually quite a few co-authored novels, sometimes under both names, sometimes under a single joint pseudonym. As you have found, it seems to be a good way to keep the pages and plot twists coming.
Example: "Lars Kepler is the pseudonym of critically acclaimed husband and wife team Alexandra Coelho Ahndoril (b. 1966) and Alexander Ahndoril (b. 1967), authors of the No. 1 internationally bestselling Joona Linna series. With seven instalments to date, the series has sold 15 million copies in 40 languages." Crikey!
Dang! Amazon.co.uk won't let me order. Any plans to publish in the United States? Oh, and congrats, Adam!
Blackwells ships for free to the USA. I just bought it there. I buy almost all of my books there now.

Helen I am so delighted to read this. Thank you!
Congrats! Also, in reference to Section 4, bounding rules are the most effective method for subversion.
You're so right!

This sounds like so much fun! (Both reading and writing this book)
Congratulations!

Damn, you've spotted the "caused" typo and shot my fox... [grudgingly deletes comment].
Sounds fun, though. Is it possible to get a signed Kindle copy? Unlikely...

I don't know you, but have received your email for a while. I'm so proud of you and happy for you and your novel!!
What a lovely thing to say - thank you!
