RK Wallis's latest activity

I feel sure her 'suggested' murder methods are all medically workable. Very neat twists make that book almost a masterclass, even if the stuff in between is a bit lightweight. The double twist at the end – two people, in two ways – is remarkable.

I'll try to make it. I'm currently under new and very small (and loud, and hungry) management :baby:

I'll be there but I'll be half an hour late

There are so many con artists out there who's to say he's not lying to make a buck? Show me the book titles and they're track records. Then I'll believe him.

I just read an interesting interview with American UK agents Catherine Cho and Katie Greenstreet. Amongst other things, they talk about reasons not to write to market. When actually writing their books, do authors need to be considering multiple...

Hi Andy, As VH says it's a private thread. They show up as pale green in the feed. It's a handy feature of the Lab if ever you just want a small, select group of readers to critique your work, perhaps because they write in a similar genre or you...

My apologies @Afell1 , I had initially posted the thread open for everyone, but then realised I needed to make it private. If your preferred genre in the Critter Directory in the Lab isn't crime, mystery or thriller then I wouldn't have wanted...
