Thanks.

This is really more of a rough outline. Setting the story. Working on fleshing out the characters and building background this year.

The revenge drama is a great favourite of mine, their action appeals to me greatly. I am a reasonable man, reasonably boring that is.

I think Thoreau said it best...Most lead lives of quiet desperation. This is a "what if" piece...gradually exploring the dark side of human nature from both sides. Slowly using this bare-bones summary to hang a story on. Building the characters right now. Still haven't committed to an ending. Would like maybe a "twist" near the end.

Have a Non-Fiction that will be out in April (Smoke Through a Keyhole) and finishing the clean-up/detailing on that...and working collectively on a children's story- my best friend is doing the illustration...all I have are words...and we are hoping it will be out later next year!

Many details but without going over the limit.
I think this could be a very good novel!

Trying to flesh out both the antagonist and the protagonist to the point that the good/evil factor is ambiguous.


Thank you for the feedback. This is still in the developmental stages.
