about me


I’m a tidy and wise person living a 1970’s lifestyle in a 1980’s house. I’m a parent of three cats, and I do have a favourite. I manipulate them into staying with me by feeding them. If I had a tail, I think I'd tuck it in.

I look best in stripey jumpers and skinny jeans. I don’t like skirts on me but I don’t mind if you’re wearing one. I don’t like travelling, or new experiences unless they are theoretical.

Thank you to everyone who helped the moon thing get to the E.D. and for all the reviews.

Lying About Sarah

Lucy Middlemass

The Gilberts cheat, drink and leave but most of all, they lie about Sarah.


The Gilbert kids are surviving alone.

Our father is dead. Our mother is gone. Matt’s been to prison and our sister Sarah was killed in an accident no one tells the truth about.

Our mother returns and us Gilbert kids can’t trust her.

Everyone needs to stop lying about what happened to Sarah, starting with me.


Lying About Sarah is complete at 62,000 words. This is a partial upload.

 

Jinger Barley and The Murkle M....

Lucy Middlemass

Bloody moons. They never do what you want and this one is no different.


Why would anyone write a story about the last baby of the previous millennium?

Jinger’s birth date gave her the feeling that she was old when she was a little girl; that she really belonged to a time in which she had barely lived. Her twin was new and young, the inaugural child of the silver new year, whereas Jinger was a lingering remnant of the instantly unfashionable thousand years before.

Sent up to school in Murkle, home of the famous wandering Moon, Jinger wants to fit in with the other pupils so much she even tries to copy their accent. But people in Murkle seem to have been waiting for her to arrive, one of them for more than a hundred years.

The Truth and the Life I’ve been reading this over the past few days. I like it, especially Emma’s voice and the way you present her state of mind. It’s an unusual choice to include the modern alongside the historical in this way, but I think the better for it. The other points of view - especial... view book

This is a YARG Review The Book of Souls I’ve read all you’ve uploaded, which isn’t very much so far. I like the world you’ve created and the opening scene with the disks is enjoyable. There’s some nice imagery here too - although far less in the later chapters. I think if it were all made as s... view book

This is a YARG Review The Telepath I read some of this yesterday and couldn’t quite think how to comment. The writing is great - well-pitched, never dull and with some lovely moments. But the premise is a lot to take in. The boy, Jake, has moved a hundred years into the future - but from 1749 ... view book

Peering Through The Past This is a powerful story and I understand why you‘ve chosen to tell it. It’s difficult to comment on because it’s non-fiction, but that‘s no reason not to give it a proper review. These comments don’t relate to your story itself - only to the way it’s presented. I’ve read... view book

The Next John Elway This is a return review I’ve read the first chapter, which is fairly long and covers many years. I like the opening, and that the reader can only guess who they’re talking about. The scene where Joe is watching the match shows either a passion for the sport or a fair am... view book
