Quote from: grinder;845015Nice one Gurj

You must be very proud of yourself :D

Happy that the first part of the trilogy is out there now, lots of advertising to do yet though, hopefully can attract some good attention :D

About half way through and really enjoying it.  Would recommend to anyone.   My only criticism is the frequent referral to the police officer as  a "Trooper" even though the story is set in the UK, bugs me every time I read it!  :)

The smaller things can still be fixed, its the story in the main i hope people really enjoy :Thumbsup!

The one thing i found really difficult when writing was to try not to repeat myself  too much, really hard to do :eek:

Let me know if this is a really big issue Mark, the reason i called the ARU team members "troopers" was to keep them separate from the police "officers" in the same scenes. Later on it was to make sure you knew who i was referring to when i mentioned trooper - if that helps?

Thanks for the feedback so far, appreciate it :yes

Its not a big issue.  I think the danger is people would assume you are an american writer telling an English story, so any perceived inaccuracies could grate.  

I think the armed response in the Police force are called CO19?  Or is that just the Met?  If CO19 is correct perhaps you could refer to him as CO19 Officer Murray?  

Got a long train journey to do later, looking forward to getting stuck back into it  :)

No problem, it really was a great book I wasn\'t just saying that because you wrote it.  I posted it up on Facebook too, one of my friends from Oz says they\'ve bought it now too  :)

Thanks Mark, appreciate the help :Thumbsup!

Once all my friends and family have copies will begin to resubmit to publishers properly, fingers crossed someone likes it :wiggle

Part two dives straight in where one left off and is just as difficult to put down.  Another great job Gurj. :Thumbs-up

But that\'s a nice little cliffhanger you\'ve got going on there!!!  Have to have part three now!  :Thumbsup!
