Crossings: Ellie, a writer who dies in an accident leaving 3 unpublished Dark Fantasy novellas on her laptop. Gemma, her best friend, reads them and is sucked into a world of horror, vengeance, death & metamorphosis. Multi-POV portmanteau novel.
@sivori I have my main groceries delivered because I Iive a long way from any proper shops and don’t drive. I do try to get public transport when I can.
@ariellcacciola Great! Looking forward to submitting my novel, Crossings, to you. A mix of a story of contemporary loss, grief and haunting, combined with Victorian Gothic horror and post WWI cosmic horror.
@jaden_powell@LolOverruled Yeah. I only finished it so I could have a proper discussion about it with my daughter who loved it. After many ‘discussions’ about it we’ve agreed to disagree. But I loathe it.
@MemorialAddress@LolOverruled True. Trouble is, in my opinion, it IS a bad piece of ‘literature’. Misery porn at its worst and at least 300 pages too long because the author apparently refused to edit it.
@klhicks912 Both. I started writing in my teens, got a first class hons degree in creative writing and a masters in my 40s, then went on to teach creative writing students. Now retired and still writing.
@raeleaverrahman Yeah. I guess I’ll get used to it, but I do find it off putting, and it diminishes his sex appeal for me. Although of course he’s a reprehensible cad!
@raeleaverrahman Yes. It’s very privileged upper middle class, Tory sensibility, but then I believe that’s Jilly Cooper’s viewpoint too. I’ve read the book numerous times in the past, and really enjoyed them, but don’t know if I would now. Probably would tbh, but would certainly question it more.
