Holiday spirit

As the holiday season approaches, I thought I would share an update in terms of my writing, as I have not done so in a while.

Not having had much time to do any writing, I have decided to dedicate some of my break to returning to my psychological thriller The View From My Window. Even if the novel never gets published I am enjoying the creative experience of writing it.

Below you  can see an excerpt from Chapter 2 to whet your taste buds:

It was a Friday, 23rd April, to be exact.  My head had been pounding ever since the night before. I’d had no sleep and the thoughts had come back like a flood.  No amount of whisky would ease the pain, but then, when I saw her that Friday morning, the thoughts vanished. Sarah was my dam- and just for that moment, that solitary moment, I heard it. Silence. Absolute silence.

She calmed me. I just had to stand next to her and every fibre of my being stilled itself like a gentle hush. I’d feel her warm smile wash over me and my body would relax- and the voices, well that was the best part, the voices would stop.
