about me

A lost thread.
The strangeness of writing.
The third eye, the mice turning cogs, a thousand monkeys typing on a thousand typewriters in your head or just that voice whispering those phrases in the primordial soup of beginnings, mirroring reality or using it for idealism, recording for prosperity, daring to imagine. With the novel that you write, is it suspense, the type where the reader has to wait for the final word? Reality never goes missing in sing song language, exaggerated characters or situations but somehow becomes more recognisable or all-too-familiar still managing to open your eyes to something new, different. Authonomy and it opportunities and disappointments conflict and like life, mirrors a rat race existence. Good thing or bad thing I guess the jury’s out.

I don’t do swaps as a rule as I find reading intensely personal and therefore the reader’s choice.

Army of Eyes

Angelina Black

A haunting reflective narrative follows a woman who loses her memory and the influence of the stealth creature that fed it away.


The story was inspired by the suggestion of invisible influences which cause things like forgetfulness. Are lost thoughts caused by a subtle predator, someone or something that could brush past you in the street and steal them from the tip of your tongue? The catalyst in this story is an extreme creature, who has the ability to walk among us scarcely noticed and whose influence is so subtle that it could be missed in a blink of an eye.

What happens when you lose yourself, somehow fall off the face of the earth? The idea gave her the judders. Tristesse couldn’t lie, not to herself, she did wonder if it were possible, that she could be this other woman. But she is not the only one with things on her mind and forgetfulness may not be as incidental as you would imagine, may just be the result of an army of eyes…

Wow, the first chapter is really powerful, emotions really running high and 1940 then we find Eileen 40 years later and never really free of the past, the dread of it always there. Her arrival in London was an insight into how difficult it would have been but I found it odd that there was little to ... view book

I am very glad that I had the opportunity to read this. It makes no bones about the dark and seedy element of moral ambiguity with a hardboiled anti hero who knows how to exploit the weakness of The Man, and there is more than a little pain involved but then that is necessary considering the stakes…... view book

Bleeding from her tight control—the idea of Jamie influencing her inner feelings—how dare he? This was a lovely read, you have no idea how much I enjoyed it. Jamie haunting her, pressing her buttons without even trying. Brylcreem, leather jacket and a motorcycle, girdles and nylons classically 50’s ... view book
