Interested to know.  |
Philip Palmer's writing grabbed me on the first two pages, which is the most important thing of all with a new writer, and the story and characters (as well as the writing) kept me reading to the end of the book!
I can turn down 90% of my submissions in the first ten pages, because the writing simply isn't special enough. Wonderful ideas don't matter a damn, if you can't write wonderful fiction and create outstanding characters.
Good to see you here, Jon!
