What’s a scene? What’s a chapter? How do we use them to keep the reader hooked?

To some of us, these differences are clear and elementary. We just know what scenes and chapters are. For others this is puzzling… Continue reading What’s a scene? What’s a chapter?

"I don’t read a lot of science fiction but I found this novel an engaging read. It helped that it is written in a literary style using clear, simple prose which flows sentence to sentence. Some have likened Morris’s style to Bradbury and Atwood and I "

"I'm not a huge reader of sci-fi, but the cover alone tells you this isn't a traditional sci-fi novel, so I was all in. The world building is fabulous, the characterisation of the bods was great, and the prose draws the reader in. There's tension, mys"

A short, intriguing, densely written story. The captain of a freighter breaks her own rules and stops the ship so that the whole crew can go swimming. The results are unsettling and no one is quite the same afterwards. I enjoyed this mostly. It's a m ...more |

“I had been working hard at my book; it was one of those rare days of authorship when everything seemed to go right; the words flowed unbidden from my pen, and the time had passed unheeded, so that it was a shock to realise that I had been writing for some six hours.”

“For these beings, fall is ever the normal season, the only weather, there be no choice beyond. Where do they come from? The dust. Where do they go? The grave. Does blood stir their veins? No: the night wind. What ticks in their head? The worm. What speaks from their mouth? The toad. What sees from their eye? The snake. What hears with their ear? The abyss between the stars. They sift the human storm for souls, eat flesh of reason, fill tombs with sinners. They frenzy forth....Such are the autumn people.”

Easy to miss Goodreads messages. It's not the easiest platform. Hope the sun is shining there in Cagliari - it is in London.Roz
