Knowing the way Steve likes to release his books here, we’ll have the second half of the book live in days. There are many episodes, so you’ll probably find it most convenient to take a custom feed and let our system send you one episode at a time. Every day, if you like. Or if you want to download all you can however you want, the default feed may be your best bet.

Well I made it through the whole book which is saying something. I felt that this was a bit more rushed and less thought out, edited, and organized than the authors other books.
The dialog could use some work and a large thread in the story (the sexual misconduct charges) that didn’t seem to develop the characters or have much bearing on the core of the story. I though that it could have just as easily been removed without having any affect.
I look forward to what the author releases next and hope he doesn’t feel my comments are too harsh or unwarranted.

Hi Chris,
Many thanks for your honest feedback, I am most delighted that you have found my other books better edited, thought out and organised.
Yep you are probably right about the false charges of misconduct, I wasn’t aiming at developing the characters, merely putting the lead character in a very awkward place to see how he and those around him copes. In retrospect I could have worked on that far more and gained a lot more from it, so I take your critique fairly on the chin and hope to learn from the experience.
No I didn’t take your comments as too harsh and certainly not unwarranted, it is refreshing to get good constructive criticsm and I thank you for it. I am still learning the craft and am glad to have such positive and encouraging feedback. Thanks
…SteveS
