My last post was about feeling rather nervous about having adults read my 2 novels, and since then a few offered, and I've had some really, really positive feedback. Some great feedback and questions on my first novel, Hacking the Dragon, raising some questions which I expected to come up, and which I hope to discuss with an agent and/or editor, when I find them. Thanks very much, Stephen! The best compliment he paid me was to want to know what happened to the characters - and the society - next. The next best was to want to read the second novel, Big Brother's Little Sister, which he's now doing. A very different read, in a different world, with different problems.
Another friend is currently reading BB'sLS, as is his 13 year-old daughter. I've just got the first comments from her: she particularly liked the characterisation, which is very gratifying, as it's an area I worked hard on this time round, particularly.
Huge thanks to Sylvie, and to everyone else who's reading it. I look forward to your thoughts!
