I thought I would have a quick review of all the projects I've got on the back burner. I've recently aquired a writing desk which I'm looking forward to using and am sorting out all the odds and ends to put in it. This includes all my projects that I've roughed out but not gone any further with.
Theres a psychological thriller - dripping in a conspiracy theory and the treatment of those trying to unearth the truth. As with most things, the truth isnt always the relief it is expected to be when it is found...
Theres a detective novel about the hunt for a serial killer that leaves pieces of his victims with mysterious and seemingly random objects arranged at the scene. A bit of a mix of film noir and 70's 'cop' shows.
Theres also one I've not classified yet about a couple who feel they are Soul Mates but a freak accident kills the woman and her soul is collected and taken to 'the collection hall'. Its a musing on what might happen when you die and after including things like re-incarnation, angels, balance, order, all those concepts. Underneath it all is a heart rending story of loss, longing and how that can turn into defiance, anger and disappointment.
Finally there's book two of the series i'm writing book one for now... most of it is done but there are some holes and it may need rewriting in a few places by the time I've finished book one... as I'm sure most of the characters will be much more rounded than they are now.
And there's my completed work - The Last Stand... well that still needs passing around a bit and if it doesnt make it into print with a publisher or agent by about March I'll have to start looking toward self publishing. My book has been written for two years - going into 3 - now.
Ok so thats, that. Time to brush off the Christmas shopping lists and plans!
