Coming soon - a novel of suspicion and jealousy, loneliness and suspense, thwarted love and a senseless death. Who is the former lover who arrives out-of-the-blue? Why does she bring a manuscript? Why did the writer kill himself? And why did his wife fall out of love? | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Now, at the end of the 20th century writers, painters, musicians � everyone � seems to feel that he or she needs to be ever more outrageous to prove he or she is valid and legitimate. The argument runs that if it�s shocking, it�s real. Well, nothing dates faster than last year�s fashion - and nothing is more timeless than - it might have been Henry James who said it, it might have been Donald Duck, it doesn�t matter - it�s true: �a good tale, well told�. Letters Never Sent will shock you - but not quite in the way you imagine. The novel could best be described as a �cliche set to music� - but half of you won�t get the point, and the other half will wonder �why hasn�t this been done before?� Letters Never Sent has something for everyone. You get out of it what you want to get out of it. How you react is what you are, what your feelings are, what your pretensions are (because we all have those, buddy - no exceptions there). And it finally comes down to what you want fiction to be. You want a love story � read Letters Never Sent. You want a novel of ideas, verse in prose, or just a simple tale - a good tale, well told - read it. Read it � because the proof of the pudding always was, always is and always will be in the eating. Read it, enjoy it, read it again (because the second time is never like the first), then tell your friends, and e-mail me to encourage me, to tell me I�m not on the wrong track as, in my dark moments, I sometimes fear I am . . . Letters Never Sent looks back to the days of coherent fiction which, whatever else it hoped to do, also hoped to entertain. And it looks forward to the days of more subtle experimentation. You want blood, gore and illiterate rambling, there�s plenty out there to choose by those who want nothing more but your bucks to burnish their ego. You want contemporary, interesting (and, I hope, entertaining) writing which doesn�t suck up to you and flatter, or, worse, condescend - Letters Never Sent is for you. And then some . . . | |||||||||||||||||||||||

You can download Letters Never Sent soon in Adobe Acrobat pdf format, so you will need a reader. Then you will have to print it out. If you don�t have Acrobat reader (which works on both Mac and PC), you can download it for FREE at the Adobe website address below. | I�m also looking into posting a version here in different text formats, but as I�m a writer, not a computer geek, this is taking time to organise. Any suggestions are very welcome. When it�s ready to be downloaded (Fortunecity are advising me, I hope), download the first three chapters, print it out, find somewhere quiet and read it � and, I hope, enjoy it Any contact and feedback is welcome, so e-mail me please. A writer is nothing without at least one reader, a painter nothing without at least one viewer, a composer nothing - well, I�m not one for labouring a point . . . I look forward to hearing from you.
