A Sleeping Feast is my first novel. The hook goes something like this:
Investigative journalist and reporter of strange phenomena, Alex Reed,believes secret drug trials link the death of a fit young man and the disappearance of bodies from a University research enclosure.
Helped by a beautiful forensic entomologist, and certain the pharmaceutical giant involved is playing sinister games for profit, Alex must fight escalating measures and be more than a sensationalist hack to uncover the sickening reality
Currently it's about 80,000 words long and in the process of a fifth draft. Will there always be so many drafts? I hope not, but when ever I review my work I think, bloody hell, I've just got to re-structure that and edit this.
Of course, when a book is unpublished, editing remains the luxury of being the author.
