NEWSFLASH! I have released the first chapter for review.

I'm so close to the halfway point. I just need another 2000 words before tomorrow night, in order to qualify for a bottle of Cava.

I was hoping to have maybe three chapters ready before anyone started reading it, but that seems like a distant dream still, and I couldn't wait. I don't want to post too much of a synopsis, because I'd rather get some people to read it and have them tell me what it's about. The highly stimulating working title is Alex: A Love Story, and it is a neurotic tale of desire and shame. Alex, when the story begins, is an 11 year old boy who is being primed as a child actor. It was originally going to be a short story, and some of you will recognise the external stimulus that provided the original inspiration for that story. biggrin wink

This is what the first 200 words looks like:

Unfortunately, the Lavelles had kids. It was only because of the kids that Liv and her housemates became acquainted with the family at all - in every house Liv had lived previously, she'd managed to go years without ever meeting her neighbours.

But the housemates, in their first year after graduation, still liked to have parties that lasted until the small hours, and so they felt obliged to sometimes take round a bottle of wine, either as an apology for the night before or a prelude for what was to come. Housemate Karl, a partially professional photographer, also ended up taking pictures of the three small boys, who ranged in age from almost-seven to twelve-na-half. Karl did a reasonable business photographing kids; far from out of choice, for all five housemates nursed a stubborn terror of the under-eighteens, but because adults pay more readily for pictures of their offspring than of themselves. The middle child, Alex, had received particular attention, because a couple of the photos Karl took of him were sent to a local talent agency. Apparently, said Karl, some teacher or someone had given the Lavelles the impression that Alex could act.



But I don't want to post 3,300 words in a spoiler, so I will be distributing emails to anyone who'd like to read the chapter. I've already begun sending to folk who've expressed interest so far, so if you think I've missed you out, let me know. Today, two people read the chapter in full. Do you want to be one of the next?
