about me

I am a stickler for content. I insist the book should have some.
I last submitted this in 2010, loved all the nice things people say, loved the criticism as much. Then life got in the way. My writing is the better for it.
Who knew.
So here it is, older wiser, hopefully better.
I venture my humble opinion when I think the writer might like some input and when I can find the time. My book is infinitely better as a result of some (much needed) "harsh" words. Thank you all for that.

I have used some - most I think - of the criticism I have received. Some I ignore. It is always a judgement call. I am grateful when people find the time to comment, and I try to return the favour as and when time permits.

My abiding opinion is - It is, as they say, all good.

FOUR BETTER FOUR WORSE

Jennifer Ward

The thing about insanity, is that it usually lurks, hidden in plain sight. Behind loving, loving eyes.


A saga about the McAllister family. Case and Laine McAllister, the fairy tale. They appear to be the perfect family. And, almost nauseatingly, they

Case’s best friend is Jude Daniels, married to the reserved and stylish Ashley. They have all the trappings... Case turns to his friend for help and accidentally stumbles upon Jude's secret life.

Married couples. They have love, sometimes, but always an invisible but powerful polarity. Divorce can make so many into amputees. Murder is a way of staying whole.

Four couples' lives collide.

Wives in servitude. Waiting for freedom can be murder. Case McAllister is a rare beast, a contented, happy man. Things are disintegrating fast, insanity is finding a home behind trusted eyes, and no one's noticing. Tragedies aways happen to ‘other people.’ The myth.

The warning signs are always ignored.

The truth.

(And no, you don't guess correctly what's going to happen. No one has, yet.)

This is not my taste but backed it because good writing is good writing. You are a good writer and I am sure you could do well with this. All the best. view book

I thought the intro-idea was clever but too long. Once 'reality' prevailed, I could feel the characters, set up rather well by slick dialogue. I liked it, and I usually can't get behind books written in the first person. Interesting thing: Read this morning that the word "said" comes from the charac... view book

Read up chapter 4 and if it wasn't for this wretched laptop, I would read more. I was engaged from the beginning and the writing is so heartfelt I am sure many many people will relate. All the best. view book

Dismal grammatically. Excellent and popular premise. Easy flow to your writing, and you obviously enjoy it. Which means you need to dig deeper, raise your own bar, as it were. I understand there is something called a 25 line test and I believe as it is, it would fail. The beginning is a cliche and w... view book
