While all you lovely people are considering whether Catherine could have got away from Lee sooner, or where Dylan gets his money from, I’m busy with a whole new group of imaginary friends… I’m hoping you’ll all get to meet them fairly soon, but for now I’m still exploring their boundaries and their limits.
Today, I’m doing one of my favourite writing tricks of putting them all in highly difficult situations and seeing what happens to them. So I have locked doors, a flat-headed screwdriver, a dirty divan bed, an overgrown garden, a mobile phone that doesn’t work and a race against time.
And – of course – just at school pick-up time, when everything seems alright again, there’s a sudden bang from somewhere in the house and it’s all just about to get very scary indeed.
See what you’re all missing??
It’s alright for you, I’m sitting here just a bit scared to carry on….
Dear Elizabeth,
Enjoyed “Into the Darkest Corner” very much. Will there be a sequel? Lee seems to be waiting, ready to pounce when Cathy and Stuart get too complacent. Very spooky leaving him “out there” unfinished with his disturbing obsession.
Hi Kathy, thank you for your comment. At the moment I have no plans to write a sequel to this one, mainly because I feel like I’ve put them through enough trauma! Who knows, though. The problem with people like Lee is that in real life the story never really ends, does it? Even if he remains safely in custody Cathy will be looking over her shoulder for the rest of her life, I think…
