![]() ![]() It went through many changes as I learnt the skills needed to refine my ability to write. Lisa liked the story but wanted to know more about the girl. I took the short story into work and showed it to a friend I trusted. In the last paragraph the twist is revealed and the reader discovers that she’s a vampire. I wrote a story about a girl catching the last bus home. I had some success with writing nonfiction articles about researching my Readman family roots in Whitby, North YorkshireĪfter suffering a couple of rejections with the nonfiction, I decided to turn my hand to writing short stories. #MYPUBLISHER REVIEWS HOW TO#When I first wrote the novel back in 2005 I had no idea how to write a book. Seeking the Dark is a vampire story with a twist. I categorise my writing as Gothic Crime.Ģ) What was your inspiration behind Seeking the Dark book? It’s just finding the right place to market my books, which has me stumped as it isn’t quite horror and not quite a crime novel. Of course, die-hard horror fans might find my work more cosy horror/crime rather than what they are looking for, but I feel there’s a market for my kind of work. Of course I do add a bit more bite to my tales as and when they need it, but I don’t overdo it or add it for an unnecessary shock element. I hope I’ve recreated their chilling tension in my stories too. It’s the simplicity of how the Victorians told their dark tales without relying on the use of blood, guts and gore which I love most. ![]() I would class myself as a horror writer, or at least, the darker shade of pale because of my love of Victorian ghost stories. #MYPUBLISHER REVIEWS SERIES#Paula’s answers to a series of questions are posted below.ġ) What type of books or genre do you write? As we’ve both had novels published this year, we thought it would be a good idea to share our experiences. Paula and I have been previously published in anthologies by Bridge House Publishing and have met at celebration events. I’m delighted to introduce Paula R C Readman to readers of The Writers is a Lonely Hunter.

I am an avid reader of books from Fantasy and Young Adult to Nonfiction. I am Sundy Flor from Davao City, Philippines. Who better to ask than Sundy Flor?Ĭan you tell readers about yourself, where you’re from and Books Unfold? We’ve had several email exchanges since then and it occurred to me readers of The Writer is a Lonely Hunter might be interested in learning more about book blogging and the new fangled Bookstagramming. I contacted Sundy Flor to see if she would be interested in reading and reviewing This Much Huxley Knows. She agreed and absolutely loved the novel, you can read the review here. I came across Sundy Flor’s Twitter account when I was investigating book bloggers online. I checked out her website, Books Unfold, and was impressed with the beautiful graphics she creates to accompany her posts and the interesting format for her reviews. If I don’t post again before the holidays, please accept my good wishes for Christmas.Īuthors blogs book blogger events novel publication Reading Recommendations review writing We’re away over the Christmas week (all being well) but we still decorated our tree. The interesting questions generated discussion amongst readers which you can follow here. In other pre-Christmas news, I was interviewed by Melanie at Grab The Lapels in one of her regular Meet the Author posts. I hope including it encourages more people to pick it up. This is such an individual book, both saddening and uplifting to read and it deserves a really wide audience. This is a book that will have slipped under many people’s radar as it isn’t published by a mainstream publisher and I think that is a great shame because I don’t think I have ever read a book that so clearly describes life from the point of view of a child or captures so brilliantly the joy and pain of being a seven-year-old that doesn’t quite fit in. Thank you so much to Julie Morris at A Little Book Problem who recommends my novel and says: There are 50 posts in total for 2021 and currently there’s over 110 individual publications listed including This Much Huxley Knows. Towards the end of each year, Emma Welton at Damp Pebbles invites book bloggers, bookstagrammers and published authors to choose three must-read titles published in that year. ![]()
