The Tracks by Daniel Lewis

So much to admire in these chapters.

I would buy this book in a heartbeat.

EDIT: I read it for the second time this morning just to read an example of how it should be done. Benny in particular - wonderful stuff.

Plus by putting this rec it knocks the hermes thing off.

Love this too.

So jealous of the way Dan gets inside the characters' heads. Brilliant!

I just reviewed The Tracks and owe you a slight apology - I had it down as a short story, not a novel opening. Sorry about that, but it made no difference to the scores, ie, I couldn't have scored it higher. I add my agreement to what the others have said here - it's first class and a great read for anyone who is here to learn the craft. Good luck with it.

I thought you might have removed it as you'd sold it. Got all excited for a minute.

Yes, I've tweaked and added to 'Justice'. Including a new opening in response to the feedback. But, as sod would have it, I've a review saying it's all okay bah the beginning.

Ah well.

Was horrified when The Tracks wasn't there this morning. Absolutely ridiculous!

Hope you'll be back up there tomorrow, Dan.
