Derry, Northern Ireland
A book I'm working on is set in this town.

All done with reformatting...

Okay...all my dark books are now formatted in the same basic style, just with slight differences appropriate to the story...and with typos and errors corrected. I like how they look a lot more, now...less amateurish. All are told in first person and have some very intense scenes of non-consensual sex (or near rape) in them. In order of writing, they're...

AKA: HTRASG. It's a rough, brutal book told by an ex-con who's never had a break, filled with anger and pain and yet hopeful.


AKA: PM. A much sneakier book about a techie who's gay bashed and forms a vicious sort of revenge, in answer. This has my first really good cover. 

AKA: RIHC6. This was 2 books, initially, but I combined them and used this story as the prelude to a murder mystery. It gets very rough...but manages an HEA at the end...sort of.

AKA: BC. My Russian novel, a tragedy of three people colliding and sending each other on a path to destruction. Only one come out of it, but that's the way of the world.

AKA: LD. A farce of a situation told by a fictional character in the story that has dark undertones but also a chaotic mix of humor and ludicrousness.

AKA: OT. A full-fledged murder mystery with political and sociological overtones, where family, friends, cops, the system of justice and the church cannot be trusted.

All of them criticize today's legal profession as well as the church, politicians, the gay community, and society as a whole.

I left David Martin and The Alice '65 out because they are the complete opposite of these books, and because their formatting was already set up right. Besides, their covers are sunshine and light in comparison, and I didn't like the juxtaposition...

I'm funny, that way...
