The Novel ...

Hi Everyone,
Well, here it is - the moment we've all been waiting for ... [okay, I've been waiting for] I have located my novel in progress - [was in progress 3 years ago] - working title, Touchstone. I've blown off the dust and begun to edit. Well, you might say, what's it about? Is it a thriller? Chick-lit? Saga? How much have you writtten? Where do you get the ideas from? Is it about you? [me] ...

So, here's the update ~ think of it as the pre-episode over-speak before Desperate Housewives [not that it's like DH, much more reality relationship with a bit of high society glamour, bribery and corruption, infidelity and a near incest incident thrown in:

I know you're gasping at the incest, but it needed spicing up a bit ...

Searching for a perfect life in a contemporary world, corporate interior designer, Verity Gilligan, marries entrepreneur, Edward Spencer. Verity had chosen Edward and the lifestyle but found herself paying the price with something more than money could buy ...

In the depths of a January evening, Verity Spencer stared down from the Millennium Bridge into the murky water. She saw no reflection which pleased her. She swigged from the bottle, its transparent liquid searing her throat and transferring her pain. Her eyes stung caustic from mascara mixed with tears. Another gulp pulsated downwards. Her body ached. Her mind, wiped out. In the distance, a motor-bike's low growl replaced her bare thoughts with jaded memories of their first date....

Until tomorrow,

Jill

PS - Looking for a new title, comment any ideas please.
