Anthony Lawler answered Nash Idris's question: Hello Anthony, I hope everything's going well! A reader just finished your book in my Goodreads community and left a review worth reading. A few others finished it too, all positive. Want me to send the link? Also, did this story come to you all at once, or had it been brewing for some time? I always love hearing what inspires writers. Thanks for sharing your work with readers! Nash Thank you for this. It’s a story that’s been sat in my head for a while. I just didn’t know what to do with it, then the idea dropped. I have now finished a selection of five stories which will be published soon as one.
