Just a bit of fun 

Hi - this is Chapters 4&5 of my wartime romance novel. Frank has deserted Flora to go to war and Flora has been left to run the smallholding on her own. However, she finds that however hard she works it is just too much for her and is forced to fall back on Frank's suggestion that a POW is delegated to help her.

Sorry can't seem to extricate myself from previous challenge. Must start taking the tablets again - will think I am one of the Brontes soon. 

This is the start of the novel I am currently working on. It tells the story of twins who were born enemies and whose mutual antipathy eventually results in tragic consequences for both of them. The story unfolds in a series of flashbacks from the present time to their childhood and early life. It is told from the viewpoint of three people: Anna, the girl twin, Alec the boy twin and a detective. Present time is told in the present tense and the past on the past tense. 

A Story of dysfunctional twins and how their childhood emnity grows until it eventually leads to tragedy. 

This is Chaps 1/2 of my novel. Chap 1 is told from the POV of Alec - the boy twin and Chap 2 is from the POV of Anna the girl twin. They are both about 11 at this stage. 

This is Chap 4 of my novel about warring twins. This excerpt is from the POV of Anna, the female twin and the heroine. It starts in present time then reverts to another flashback in Anna's life. 

Two more chapters of my novel The Darker Half - a story of warring twins that finally leads to tragedy. The first chapter is a dream sequence that mimics a real episode in her life and the second is where the detective's interest in her story crystallises. 

I am hoping to kickstart this site again by posting another chapter of my dysfunctional family saga in which Anna meets her future flatmate and friend, Lucy. A friendship which eventually lead to tragedy. All comments welcome please (it may help to read my other chapters). Thanks a lot. 

This is another chapter in my dysfunctional twins saga. In this excerpt Anna first discovers her father's illness. This is very much a first draft and I would like to know if it flows, if it is interesting and if it makes sense. Thanks for your help 

Another two chaps from my novel in progress. Chap 7 is told from the POV of Alec and is meant to show how jealousy is warping his mind and in Chap 8, Anna gets a pet and the seeds of tragedy are sown. 

Continuing the story of Anna and Alex - partly set in the present with a flashback into the past when Anna was a child
