Cemetery Lake

Hi All,

As the title implies, I'm currently reading 'Cemetery Lake' by Paul Cleave. A little over halfway through, and I'm struggling to put the book down. Can't wait to see what happens in the end and what Paul does with the story. Reading the passage in the back, he has another book coming out this month. I cannot find a corresponding release date for it anywhere else, even his own website just states this month........C'mon....give me a specific day.......

Anyway, I'll post a review of the book on here once I finish it (should be sometime today or tomorrow, depending on my busy schedule....)

Nothing new on the frontier of my book at the moment, as I'm only just back from holiday and didn't get a chance to do any work to it during this period..... Hopefully I'll get back into the swing of things tomorrow and do a little bit more. I'm beginning to get a little excited about how it's going to go, but I might need to do a little re-thinking of the storyline, as I currently think it's a little weak towards the end, but I guess we'll just have to approach that point when we get nearer to it....

Enough for now, catch you all later,

Adam.

Book Updates: Research

Hi All,

Currently doing some background research on the book that I am in the process of developing. It's going to be about a team of people (not sure what the team name will be yet), who work between Australia & New Zealand solving major crimes. Each team member is going to have a specialised background, but when the team is together they are superb at solving crimes.
So I'm trawling through a bunch of forensic, crime-solving and mastermind criminals of the past books. Taking snippets of past crimes, motives, crime-solving techniques and the like.
I've also been jotting down ideas of the plot that I hope to reveal through the story and different characters, character names, character profiles and such. I can't wait to start physically writing the book and may do so in the next day or two (even though I'm still not sure how the book is going to end....) but I'm sure I can wing it, or develop a nice twist to keep the readers interested.

Underway at the moment, is the plot and characters for the first book, in what I hope to be a series of five books (I'm thinking, although this is open for changes). I'm not even sure how good the book will actually be, as this is my first attempt at ever writing a book, so who knows, it will quite possibly be a major fail! I guess we'll just have to wait and see...?

Oh well, enough for now. I'm sure you're all completely bored with my banter now.....

Regards,

Adam.
