Somewhat to my amazement I have just posted the final chapter of my fourth full-length novel. Before I started posting to BC, two and a half years ago, I'd never managed to complete any of the six novels that I’d started writing. I would get so far and then become blocked, and so would start writing something else. I ended up with six partly written novels each one about 35,000 words in length.

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

One reader has pointed out to me that there are no links to the previous chapter, or the next story at the base of my current posting. Also, my previous posting links to my next story rather than the next chapter of the current story. I always assumed that these links were put on automatically by the system, but apparently not so. Is this something that I, as an author, need to concern myself with?

Regards to all and thanks for a wonderful site.

Suzanne’s cousin Clare:
and how she changed my life
by Louise Anne Smithson

My only friend in London suffers from a form of muscular dystrophy and now spends her life on crutches or in a wheelchair. She’s great fun to spend time with, but her future is not looking too good. However, in the meanwhile, she appears to have plans for my future.

The story is set between November 2006 and February 2007 in the Westbourne Park area of west London but includes a trip to Sunderland.
