about me

On the off-chance you've turned up here to have a look at 'We Are Alive', I'm afraid I've decided to take it down because I can't really commit to the site just now. I'm sure you'll live ;-)

Huge thanks to everyone who offered feedback and support. I am particularly indebted to Joe Walsh, Ellie S Lee, Cass McMain, JohnDoe and Mooderino.

- Runner - (chapters 1-4) Hi, Jack. Sorry I only got to read the first four chapters. It's been a bit of a tough week and time was tight. In any case, I enjoyed what I did read. I thought the pace and the dialogue were nice and snappy and the characters were well drawn. I particularly like ... view book

- Diving into Red - I started reading this on a whim and continued because I really enjoyed it. I should fess up from the off: I'm an English teacher in foreign climes (first Russia, now Germany) so I have a vested interest in the subject matter. I have in the past toyed with the idea of heading ... view book

- All the Little Sacrifices - (Chapters 1-8) Just to get my overall verdict out the way upfront, I thought this was very tight, accomplished writing and I enjoyed reading it a lot.

- The Light and the Dark - (Based on the entire upload) Let’s just state from the off that I found this very impressive. In my humble opinion, it’s a lot tighter and more assured than Comerford was on my first reading. Portaying someone as grand as Yeats is an ambitious undertaking but I think... view book
