Book Review: Consequences, by Jo Fenton
Something different for you today, as I have taken a (very) short break from historical fiction to read this superbly gripping psychological thriller by Jo Fenton. I first met Jo at the Swanwick Writers’ Summer School some years ago. However, this is the first time I’ve had the opportunity to read one of her books, and I can’t believe I’ve waited this long. Jo, you have a new fan!

⭐⭐⭐⭐️⭐ "Real conversations wander. Fictional dialogue can't afford to." One of the hardest aspects of writing to master, dialogue needs to sound natural without becoming mundane, reveal character without resorting to expo" Read more of this review » |

"This has become one of my favorite series on the craft of writing. Once again, the author demonstrates a deep understanding of writing and publication. The first chapter boldly declares "dialogue is not conversation" - and writers should immediately "
