A very saucy read – you’ve hit the heart of the line with one clean chapter. The dialogue was fantastic. Very natural, especially between Nancy and Sarah. I felt like I was in the room with them. And Jack – hot! – and a bit on the dangerous side too. I like it very much.

All the best!
Madeline

Joanne, you’ve prompted me to sign in for the first time, just so I can tell you how accomplished and exciting your chapter was. Many congratulations and best of luck with the rest of the book – I’m looking forward to reading the Whole Story when it comes out! Very well done indeed.

Hi,

Thank you all for being so kind, I’ve been shaking in my boots since knowing that this was going to be posted yesterday. )

It’s weird and wonderful to see my own words on here, and completely thrilling to read your comments. It’s a bit on the saucy side isn’t it – hope no one choked on their cornflakes whilst reading it!

I’m still pinching myself about placing in the competition, and i’m looking forward to doing my best to make the very most of the opportunity.

Thanks again everyone, you’ve made my day.

Joanne
