Summary:

SHADOW WOLF SERIES: Remembrance (Cameron&Sophia), The Three Kingdoms (Aedan&Kathleen-no longer Bianca), Cursed (Ian&Kirrah). BOOK 1: Remembrance: Sophia considers her life pretty much normal, that is until she befriends a gigantic wolf, who happens to push her down a waterfall. Technically, the fall wasn’t so bad and she would have forgiven her four legged friend, but when she emerges from the water, she finds herself several hundred years in the past, in Scotland of all places, abandoned by the wolf. Lucky for her, she is rescued by a handsome Scotsman, or so the arrogant lout says. Really, what’s wrong with the man? One minute he drives her mad with his kisses, the next he accuses her of being a witch. Cameron’s nights are plagued by dreams of a spirit, begging him to remember something long forgotten, and his days are tormented by a lovely stranger, who very well could be a spy from the enemy clan. What is a laird to do? Keeping the lass will only anger his mistress and cause him great distraction at the time of war, but the thought of sending her away leaves him barren. When Sophia saves his life, he learns that maybe there is more to life than empty passion and the sound of clashing steel.

Summary:

Very briefly, Amongst Ghosts is a novel about twin sisters who have too close a relationship. This suffocates each of them and ultimately becomes a destructive force. I currently have an agent interested in the book but she says I have to show what has motivated the young women to behave the way they do. So I've just written this chapter which would precede anything else in the book to try and show the defining incident that colours their future behaviours and decisions. I would really appreciate whether the voice is too old for a nearly-thirteen year old, bearing in mind she is the Victorian daughter of a country reverend. And is there anything I can do to generally improve the chapter? Lots of thanks in advance and bear in mind that the spelling is UK English. Cheers, Keen

I hope this novel will appeal to all who enjoyed Arabian Nights as it has many exotic stories hidden within the main plot. I wrote it after a trip to Jordan, when I fell in love with the redness of the desert and the landscape made famous by Lawrence of Arabia. It's set in 1201, a year when a terrible famine hit Egypt and there were cases of people resorting to cannibalism to survive. I would love any general feedback and thank you in advance. Keen

Summary:

The first three chapters have been revised and rearranged for the strongest start competition. The novel is posted in its entirety so you may read at your leisure (DISABLED CHAPTERS WILL BE ENABLED FOR ANY NEW REVIEWERS GOING BEYOND CHAPTER 3). Old reviews will not always match up with the chapter that it is attached to. This is in essence a memoir of my life in an orphanage, but I use composite characters and am not sure it qualifies as "memoir" for the contest. I will let the judges decide that. I hope this final go through will make it ready to publish, so any comments whatsoever will be appreciated. Especially interested in the new flow pattern. Opinions? Thanks for your help and advice.

The development of the harbour in a remote Cornish village, the leading figure of this area was a Solicitor and a Banker, the Cornish family of long standing with connections to the throne. He has an affair with a male clerk, although married, not very satisfactory and his wife eventually meets an officer in the Royal Navy, whose frigate regularly berths at Georgetown, they immediately strike up a relationship.
