Getting sucked in ..

You know you're getting sucked into a story when you dream of the characters and wake up mapping out where the story is going from here ... My latest story has a working title of "The Outer Edge" and is developing strongly if the feed back I'm getting from my test readers and editor is anything to go by. It has a complex plot and keeping everything straight within it is a challenge, but it's also great fun. Here are some comments from the feedback ...

Good action chapter, I enjoyed the respective view points of the Canid and Feline evolved Regidur and Sci'antha, reflecting the strict laws of the wolf pack and then the independence and self-reliance of the reptilian species. Typical but unexpected action by the LPSL faction, and a well-described interception and capture by Beagle. Good tension from the hair-splitting-but justified- transit that caused a twelve degree diviation from their intended arrival point. Realistic that Harry would have a headache trying to absorb too much information at once, had the same reaction when I was learning to speed-read. Good dialogue exchange between Captain Kretzmann and Harry, clarifies the story while they are throwing out questions and answers. 

And now, back to work ...
