I have been writing for ten years. I've just written The Crazy Psychologist as my 7th novel and been through editors; third and fourth drafts gone to bed with the manta Show don't Tell; had two agents now both sadly dead and I've made a discovery . My style of writing, popular as it is locally, does not conform to the literary industry's dictate. My standard is more than satisfactory and my readership followers are growing. Aren't we getting a bit tired of the overly prosaic descriptions of weather etc? Perhaps my style is at the forefront of a new refreshing genre of entertaining and satisfying reading. Is the establishment ready to listen?
Another coincidence
If my dad was still alive he'd be the exact same age as your character

Dear Mr Caldwell
I went to your site and I read Chapter 3 of The Parrot's tale and I enjoyed it. I can't understand why your style of writing shouldn't conform - I found it easy to read and a good story. And funny yes.
Totally off the topic but I'm burning to ask this question ?
When I reached the end I was struck by the name of your character - Harry Dyne - its unusual, why did you pick that name ? It' was my fathers name and weirdly one his best friend was called Hunter Caldwell?
