Summary:

A woman's journeys through the Middle East following the end of a relationship. A meditation on love, sex, journeys and finding your way out of the desert. Experimental in places. Conventional, too. I've added a touch of exposition, but a kibbutz is a communal way of living (largely agricultural) practiced in Israel circa the 1920s. The kibbutz movement has changed a lot since its inception.

Summary:

Some of this story will be familiar to those who read fall From Grace. I'm going to try my hand at suspenseful romance or commercial fiction so the emphasis has switched to Grace being a single working physician who meets, of course, Dr. Right a few chapters down the road... Anyway, it's just an experiment to write in a different genre... It begins in a federal medical center - a psychiatric hospital for mentally ill inmates... Any and all feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Summary:

This is a book about titles, Shakespeare, the role of masculinity in the post-feminist world and sexual fantasy. It concers e c love, a would-be novelist, who begins a literary apprenticeship of short-stroy writing, comminplace-book-keeping and diary entry as a self-conscious literary apprenticeship intended to exercise and develop his powers as a writer to fit him to tackle the title he has siscovered in Shakespeare which he believes will propel him to literary greatness. He is an unreliable and self-obsessed narrator whose obsessions cause him to write about aspects of the same topic (hard treatment at the hands of women) from a number of different perspective. The novel is comic in tone and intent. It is finished and has attracted some interest. I am particularly interested in feedback from women readers as it was suggested by a publishing company which did consider publishing the work that it might not appeal to female readers. This was slightly contrary to my intention which was to comically reveal aspects of male psychology to a female audience. I'd be interested to know how successfully this intention was transacted. I'd also of course be interested in hearing any feedback relating to the 'readability' of a text which is by design fragmentary and stylistically varied.

Summary:

Siera begins to fear her life when those around her start to die. The detective on the case is floundering and falling for the person he is trying to protect. Can he solve the case before the vampire killer decides to claim his ultimate prize? It's my first draft of the novel (placing it up as i go), so it can be quiet rough. I'm hoping to get the main concepts and plot down and then develop it more, especially with your comments :). I would love feedback in all regards to this story, including any suggestions on where i can improve to make this story more catchy, faster, better character development, or generally better, please let me know! I generally suck at grammar etc so any tips on things i am doing wrong or could be improved are greatly appreciated! Thanks!
