    Hello Patrick, It was good to see you again during the Crime-Writing Festival this weekend. As I mentioned, I thought that Cut-Out is the best of your books. I liked the pace that you set in the plot and the descriptions of the scenes, particularly the atmospherics – this did add a dimension to the images. I “second guessed” that the major would be the “Mr Big” in the military. If I may make a suggestion, you could have the reader working harder with another, similar character as a red herring.
    For my part, I did appreciate you coming to the writers’ group in October and helping with reviewing our efforts. Although mine was not the winning entry, the suggestions from you and the group helped me to revise the entry to something that I thought could be up there.
    Very best regards,
    Simon.

    • Thanks, Simon, it was nice to see you again in the always soothing environment of the Town Hall. There’s something about that building that cuts it off from the world outside – must be all that Victorian brickwork… hope to see you during 2012.
      All the best, Patrick
