Slackline!

My sweet little summer story is out in the morning!

Slackline
by Sarah Black- out today at Dreamspinner!

Blurb:
When Bobby Kincaid is walking the slackline - a narrow, flat webbed rope
stretched between two anchor points - he offers a silent gift of beauty to the
air and sky. Making peace with the world
is one reason he’s drawn to the seastacks off

Anyway congrats!

don't miss the train! The new story- with Christopher Marlowe- the boys went to Italy on the train. Verona and then Padua.

What is it about your characters and "self-destructism"?? At least Jesse-the-boxer saw the light eventually but I am not at all sure about Bob-the-Slackliner. He was really sweet but also really flaky. I think I need a follow-up story to make sure he finds a new job-lease-of-life-frame-of-mind while still hanging on to sweet/snarky/sarkastic Colin.

I loved Kathleen: her "matching accidents" were one of the highlights of the story.

you know how boys are! They don't listen, not to their moms, not to their nurses. I have been sneaking myself into stories lately, like my fictional characters need a bit more direct supervision!

I loved both main characters + Kathleen. Follow-up is the word!

Hi, Sarah!

I did manage to catch the train to Italy *and* download ''Slackline''!

Sorry for forgetting to come here sooner to tell you that it was another excellent story. I also liked the fact that I'm familiar with that corner of the world. I still remember a wonderful holiday on the Orkneys, passing by ferry near the Old Man of Hoy.

I liked both MC even though I could have killed Bobby, considering he didn't manage to kill himself even trying hard.

I do have a complaint: your stories always leave me wanting for more, and lately the phenomenon got even worse ;-). When are you going to write again something longer?

Thank you for writing!

Ciao

thanks for reading, my dear- and the next one is longer- Death of a Grievous Angel- it's very good, too. I read it over yesterday, before editing starts. I was really pleased. About 130 pages of so- 48,000 words.
