01 Cover paintedangels-small I'm in meetings all day today, but hoping to at least get something posted this morning - sorry if it's not as detailed for this last chapter - especially since it's the last chapter!

Chapter Thirteen - spoilers under the cut and no doubt in the comments )

And there we have it - the end of the story. Did it live up to the start? What do you think?

We'll be chatting about Chapter Six of Painted Angels by Angelfish on Wednesday. You know, as long as I remember to post... (And look, if I've not done it by about 4pm lads-time, someone please give me a kick!)

I'm so sorry! I completely forgot about this on Wednesday - I was clearly completely thrown by the long Easter weekend, and my brain was probably also fuzzy from having that cold. Despite the fact that I was desperate to read the next chapter last Saturday too! I clearly need a keeper sometimes - please give me a kick if I seem to forget something that you're expecting to happen...

So - *clears throat sheepishly* - this Saturday, we will be discussing Chapter Five of Painted Angels by Angelfish...

01 Cover paintedangels-smallApologies - I'd hoped to post this morning, but I've had a migraine all day, which is only just fading, and I couldn't bear the screen... (If anyone would like to volunteer to help with the introductions sometimes, then that would be great!) But here we are at last!

We're still chatting away about Chapter One if you'd like to catch up, but here's our weekly reminder that next weekend we will be discussing Chapter Two of Painted Angels by Angelfish!

Our first Pros Novel Read-Along was off to a good start this weekend - thanks everyone who read as fast as they could so that they could jump straight in!

Discussion of the prologue is ongoing - don't feel you have to stop chatting about anything interesting just because I'm announcing the next chapter, it can all overlap! I know I have catching up to do, with some interesting comments... and do feel free to jump in and comment to everyone who's there too. It's a conversation between everyone, not just with the person who posted (who will probably always be me). *g*

One quick reminder - if you do read ahead in the story, please don't say anything in your comments that would spoil the story for people who haven't got that far yet (even if they've read it before - other people in the discussion might not have)! We're only ever discussing one chapter at a time. Last week's conversation was just about the Prologue, and this week's will be just about Chapter One.

And the official announcement (which I'll normally make on a Monday, I hope) - next weekend we will be discussing Chapter One of Painted Angels by Angelfish.

BD buggybooreadingmanipOkay, there is a definite majority in favour of reading a chapter through the week and discussing it over the weekend, so that's decision number one! Of course that's not a limit - if you want to jump into the conversation on a Wednesday or Thursday then that's fine too, but the discussion will open at the weekend.

Rather surprisingly, considering it's already Thursday (evening, lads' time!), there was also a majority for starting this weekend, so we'd better get our reading-eyes on! I'll probably open the discussion on Saturday, but if you don't manage to finish the chapter and come to chat until Sunday (or Monday or Tuesday or... *g*), then that's fine. And it will all even out from Monday, when we will then have a whole week to read the next chapter.

Luckily the first chapter we're going to read is pretty short anyway! It is:

Painted Angels by Angelfish.
First chapter is the Prologue - c4000 words, approx 7 A4-size pages.


Like I say, I'll make a post here on Saturday to start the discussion - feel free to drop by at any time! And do use lj's tracking feature if you can - other people's comments on the post will be sent to you via email (if that's the option you choose) so that you can see whether you want to jump in and reply to them!

So - see you on Saturday... *vbg*

All These Years by Angelfish

You have a photo album – one, which you showed me with a mix of chagrin and disbelief, years ago….And you asked me about my lot, and they stirred in me, as even the driest leaf stirs, as petals and newspaper cuttings do, the whispering dead. They ached and hurt like nerve-ends still firing in an amputated limb, and you saw me go pale, and you said, you don't have to talk about it. And because of that I could, a little. I told you about Kath; as my only sibling, a sliver of the truth. She paints, she's an artist. Lives alone up in Scotland. I think she was married once but... We exchange Christmas cards, sometimes with a letter in them. Sometimes not. You might get to meet her one day, mate. You'd like Kath.

 

CI5 agent Ray Doyle has received what should be an innocuous invitation from his artist sister, who he hasn’t seen in some years, to her first London exhibition.  And with that invitation, Doyle’s carefully constructed world is slowly, but surely, crumbling away. He begins to act increasingly odd -- making tiny, potentially fatal mistakes on the job, apparently wandering all unknowing into a gay pub, and suffering blackouts.

 

 

It gets worse before it gets better! )
