Readers...I don't want...
Good morning!Now have I captured your attention with my strange blog post title? Yes-no? Well let me explain. Today’s blog post is all about writing and readers but did you know that, writers don’t WANT everyone to read their books?
Why? The simple fact is because writers have specific readers whom we want our work to reach, and some people we genuinely don’t want to have as readers.
This took me Read more of this blog post »

“Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don't blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being "in love", which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.”

“Where does it all begin? History has no beginnings, for everything that happens becomes the cause or pretext for what occurs afterwards, and this chain of cause and pretext stretches back to the Palaeolithic age, when the first Cain of one tribe murdered the first Abel of another. All war is fratricide, and there is therefore an infinite chain of blame that winds its circuitous route back and forth across the path and under the feet of every people and every nation, so that a people who are the victims of one time become the victimisers a generation later, and newly liberated nations resort immediately to the means of their former oppressors. The triple contagions of nationalism, utopianism and religious absolutism effervesce together into an acid that corrodes the moral metal of a race, and it shamelessly and even proudly performs deeds that it would deem vile if they were done by any other.”

“A lot of the people who read a bestselling novel, for example, do not read much other fiction. By contrast, the audience for an obscure novel is largely composed of people who read a lot. That means the least popular books are judged by people who have the highest standards, while the most popular are judged by people who literally do not know any better. An American who read just one book this year was disproportionately likely to have read ‘The Lost Symbol’, by Dan Brown. He almost certainly liked it.”

Hi, Faith, thanks for friending me on Goodreads. My new crime novel, Death Comes Calling, is now available from Kindle ebook and paperback form, so please feel free to take a look via the Amazon UK link at the bottom.The Kindle price is £2.99 and the paperback price is £9.32.
A successful career woman is found dead on the floor of her North London kitchen with her throat brutally slashed. Beside the body lies a half-open razor with a single droplet of blood at the tip of an otherwise pristine blade.
However, the forensics prove this razor can’t be the murder weapon, and when another successful career woman is found murdered a few days later, again in her kitchen, again with her throat cut and again with a blood-tipped half-open razor placed beside her body, Detective Chief Inspector John Gore of the Metropolitan Police fears he has a potential serial killer on his hands.
As the body count rises the pressure is mounting on Gore to quickly find and stop the killer.
Meanwhile someone is sending him taunting notes, each headed, Death Comes Calling, and Gore begins to realise the killer is playing mind games not just with the police, but with him personally. The question is…why?

Thanks, Tom.
C.J. HeckHello Faith,
It's such a pleasure having you as a friend. Thank you and best wishes!

Hi Faith. Thank you so much for Friending me. Hope the writing's going well with you, and that you're enjoying the current festivities!

Hello Faith, it is a pleasure to meet you. If you ever have any questions about Harlequin or our books, please feel free to ask.Kim S, Harlequin Books ambassador
Hi Faith I see you have added some Shakespeare works to your reading list. I think you would appreciate and enjoy my epic poem, The Leaf Catcher, as the entire story is composed of iambic pentameter and the terza rima verse style of Dante's inferno, while imparting a timeless tale of a father teaching his son true values in life and the power of perception.
Hi Faith,I respectfully would like you to consider my spy-thriller for your next review. "Able Danger" sets the international espionage spectrum of sequels for avid readers and has been adapted to film by the author for moviegoers to view agent Harrison Court-006 on the silver screen. The book-to-film project is in development for production. I can provide the PDF file for your review. I value your consideration and await your response.
Regards,
Kensington RothAble Danger

And a Happy New Year to you too! We are all well here, busy as ever. Not least trying to finalise the edits on my latest book. Then I start the even harder task of finding a new agent.
The new year is here and I believe that you will see great things. How are you? I hope that all is well.
