Hey Guys,

I was going to post this under the Book Review Section though felt that more PPL would notice it here. Sorry.

Thanks to Don for his encouragement at getting me to post this on SS.

If anyone is KEEN at reading a TEASER of my soon to be released Novel, "EVANESCE"?, please post your email address below and I'll forward you a PDF copy of Chapter 1.
Should you not wish to post it below, then please message it to me in private.

Just a WARNING-- You may find it very CONFRONTING as Chapter 1 does depicts the childhood of a future Serial Killer. Russell Fletcher is extremely intelligent for a nine year old boy, though his perpetual Bullying and dysfunctional home has pushed him into an unusual direction.

It is in the vein of "Silence of the Lambs" though I feel the twists and turns along the way are much more significant.

I have done a huge amount of research into Serial Killers over a period of 7-8 years and feel that Chapter 1, even though disturbing, does capture the essence of their nature.

For those who are stunned after reading Chapter 1 and can only say "WOW", I'll forward you a bit more in due course to wet your appetite further.

I would also appreciate if you could like my FB page at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Evanesce/253879511457090?skip_nax_wizard=true
as well as letting me know what you think of Chapter one.

Lastly I'm in a different timezone to many so I may not respond or forward Chapter 1 straight away. Sorry though I sleep when your awake. Hee Hee.

Looking forward to your posts.

Regards Alex

How long have you been working on this for?

Hey Toby and thanks for your interest.

Being the Easter weekend I have been so busy that I finally noticed your post at 4am. Who needs sleep really?

I have been on and off my novel for the last 12 months though hope to publish it over the next few months.

I'll email Chapter 1 shortly and please let me know your thoughts once you've read it.

Regards Alex

You mean 'peek'. I wasn't going to say anything, but it keeps getting bumped so could do with being corrected. I know if I was trying to gather interest in my novel that I would appreciate somebody telling me about such a typo, so here it is. Good luck.

I finished chapter one. Russell is one sick kid. I see some deep foreshadowing of what he might be capable as an adult.i think it would be interesting to see how he treats someone his age that shows him kindness.

Thanks for taking a read Don,

He doesn't have anyone his age that is kind to him and really the story from here moves on 20 years into the future so we don't really get a chance of that happening.

Won't give any spoilers regarding the story going forward so I'll leave it at that.

Regards Alex
