Well, there's going to be no Lady Ann for a few days because I'm working on... a greatly extended version of my old classic, Criminal Record.
Hopefully, if all goes well and I don't go adrift, I'll be publishing that on September 13th.
I have this week off so I'm making a big push to get somewhere with it and bite a big chunk out of the new outline.
Readers who remember the original story may be intrigued to learn that the new version will be expanded significantly. There's more detail before the story begins, a new scene in the middle of what you've seen already and then a slight retelling and new direction to what used to be the ending. The main character is going to get a lot more page-time as Sadie so that we can enjoy her fall and in addition, the oft-requested other side of the story is finally going to be told!
I'm anticipating the story ending up maybe four or five times as long as it once was so it should be a nice and juicy read.
Watch this space!

I look forward to the expanded Criminal Record. I enjoyed the original but though the weakest part was the momethod of swapin: just falling asleep and waking up is not very exciting.

Hi Kal, Thanks.
DeleteFair point on the swap method. I subscribe to the line of thinking that the mechanics of a change are a bit dull; it's the transformatioon itself and the impact of it that are where it's at.
However you may be pleased to learn that the change is explored in more detail in the longer version.

Very, very excited to spend more time with Sadie!
ReplyDeleteGreat, Thanks Chess!
DeleteI hadn't had much of a response so I was a bit worried it was a bad idea. I will now double my efforts.

It is good to really apply criminal check to every new person in the company to really be safe and be secure.
