Hi, thanks so much for your support and kind comments. Much appreciated.
I wrote the first 2/3rds of The Third Shadow maybe 6 or 7 years ago, then a couple of years ago finally got round to finishing it. It needs a bit of work here and there but yes, I think there's a potential for a series. The thing is, I'm getting fed up of being a promising amateur and would really like to actually get something published. I tend therefore to try out new concepts and ideas with each novel I write in the hope I might finally chance upon whatever it is publishers are looking for. If the day ever came that a publisher showed genuine interest in one of my works and wanted to see my 'back catalogue', the first I would point out to them is The Third Shadow. I'd love nothing more than to be modestly paid to rewrite it and then develop the characters of Jacks and Nuzzo over a series of 8-10 books. What a cool working life that would be!
As for my other wattpad books, no, there's no particular order you should follow. Probably the most similar to The Third Shadow is The Painted Altar. Retirement age 1st person narrator, slowburn central mystery, an Italian setting for most of the book (the same fictional Puglian seaside town, Punto San Giacomo). It won a wattys award for literary fiction, so hopefully not too shabby.
My most recent work is The Scent of Death. 1st person female narrator, lots of twists and turns, romantic subplot, a cute Labrador as one of the central characters. My wattpad debut, Kill Who You Want, has a shifting 3rd person narrative and is without doubt the edgiest and most suspenseful of my four completed novels on the site. As The Third Shadow, it needs a bit of polishing up here and there, but probably has the biggest commercial potential of all.
If you get the chance to check any of them out, I'd love to hear your feedback.
Thanks again for your support.
