There you find what <b>Lady Helen,</b> the Feardom's majesty ~ our e'er enlightening <b>Lily,</b> classy dame <b>Jools</b> and bad-past -where-the-bones-are-buried boys. <b>Kevin 'MadDog' Michaels</b> and avaricious <b>AJ,</b> (the fedora fella who knows how to use it). And how they bespeak Ian's telling tales.<br /><br />Heck. I'm just glad to be safe from shovels and going to the wrong door . . . and knowing Ian as a true friend. Yeah, that's the kinda humanity author who speaks soul wrapped 'round words.<br /><br />GREAT BIJOU DEBUT ON THE IMPENDING RELEASE OF THE BOOK THAT JUST HAD TO COME OUTTA YOU, Mr Ayris.

Not to tip the end, but in one a guy is killing another and at the smes time looking up at the stars and crying at the beauty he sees but does not understand. That was my "read him once moment." There are many, many others.

It's built from thoughts that might flicker and die in many people's minds before they even realise they're there - but Ian catches those scenarios and plays them out with captivating results. It's as it should be.<br /><br />Great interview too; I totally get the Woolf inspiration, and why. She's up there for me too. And I have to say, I didn't know about Ian's background in counselling - but it comes through in his writing and I have the utmost respect for what he does for people. <br /><br />Congratulations Ian - superb penning. I want to read a whole lot more.<br /><br />All the best.<br /><br />Lily.Lily Childshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15861288507716873813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243178661707887834.post-57101068747779109842011-12-28T04:01:34.236-05:002011-12-28T04:01:34.236-05:00Two deliciously dark tales - very entertaining!Two deliciously dark tales - very entertaining!Helen A.
