Notes from readers. Part three. 1/4

I just realized I haven’t done this since 2017. Time flies.

This blog series is my way of saying I appreciate each and every note I receive even if my response time is sometimes lengthy. I do read them all— and because readers are often shocked— I have to say it is actually me responding.


Britney,

How are you, I hope you and your family are all well.

I have now finished Kill, Sleep, Repeat and I have left a review on Kobo. I really enjoyed it, I have now read about 6 of your books and they just get better with each one I read.

Your books actually scare me, not in the ghost story way but because you actually seem to control my emotions.

Also you leave the reader very close to the characters’ emotions and feelings at times they almost seem to be talking directly to readers, I am now going to download some more of your books.

Prior to discovering you and your books my favourite writer was Val McDermid and I have read most of her books from the very first one, she started off as a junior reporter on the local newspaper in Manchester, but you have definitely replaced her now.

Aside from your books, I think you are a very kind, caring and considerate person but I wouldn’t like to cross you. I would constantly be looking over my shoulder, I bet your kids all behave themselves and probably your husband too.

Sorry this was so long but I just had to tell you what I thought.

Take care,

L


Dear L,

Thank you for the very kind words and for supporting my work.

It’s always fun to learn about readers and their interests. I’m honored to be among your favorite writers!

My family is pretty well behaved. Although the other morning the twins spent the entirety of the commute to school arguing in the backseat. Even my turning up the music could not deter them. Nor save my sanity. Next time, they’re walking. Or perhaps learning the city bus route. 🙂

Happy reading and thanks again for your note. It means more than you know.

Britney


KSR three

Several times a week, Charlotte Jones leaves suburbia behind and boards a chartered flight to parts unknown, where she wraps her hands around the necks of marks for just as long as she has to.

Then she goes back to domestic life with a paycheck, defense wounds, and the sense that she can handle anything.

Which is good, because being a wife, mother, and sociopath, with an insatiable taste for murder, gives the term work-life balance new meaning. When one life unexpectedly bleeds into the other, leading to a secret admirer and borderline insta-fame, Charlotte is forced to ask herself if she really can have it all.

Slick and unsettling, Kill, Sleep, Repeat is a cunning tale of deception and desire that begs the question: Do we ever really know people the way we think we do?
