Definitely won't be cycling !
It could star a Carrera Electric bike as main form of transport.
Good luck @Drago

I quite like them, they are very formulaic and samey so you cant read two in a row, but one once in a while is fine, easy read, fast paced etc, you can tell why they sell in volume despite not being the greatest works of literature, but takes far less concentration than ploughing through an Umberto Eco etc.
one more piece of advice for @Drago , learn to use your spell checker and look at what you've written, otherwise your proof reader will bump you off by chapter 3, twisted gun or not!

Thanks O Brother of the Bass. I may well take you up on that.
@T4tomo I have no proper use of or feeling in the two fingers on the outside of my right hand, hence the dreadful typing Ininflict upon you rascalls. I'd deffo spell check very carefully.

Great idea!
To help you on your way here's your first para:
It was a dark and stormy night on the A5 when Kurt Dirk came seeking vengeance. Clad only in Y- fronts he gripped the bars of his Carrera in one hand and his halberd in the other.
" Damn you for insulting fair Virginia" he shouted to the wind.

I know you've mentioned that before hence my comment. Us rascals would have less inflicted on us if you bothered to reread stuff before pressing post!!!,, I however appreciated that you retrospectively editing this last post so it made a bit more sense! Good practice for manuscript typing! Maybe get a voice to text app, they are pretty decent nowadays and good for us old boys that were never taught to touch type.

Without giving too much away it is to be set on one of the islands, although not the one I was raised on. That gives me sufficient familiarity to paint a picture of realism, but sufficient detachment that I don't end up writing about myself.
So far I have larndan gangsters using the island for their own ends, a local old boy, a local trawlerman with a grudge, his ex girlfriend, a recent incomer who is a widower, and something else to throw into the the pot.

That's how I feel about Jason Statham films... Load of old nonsense really but fun, undemanding, and often quite amusing!
Good luck, Drago.

Obviously I haven't read your book yet, but I'm fairly confident it was the postmistress who did it, in the pantry with a chain whip.

There wouldn't be many great novels if everyone took that advice!
Mind you, there wouldn't be any awful ones either...
