Sudden Noise Blog: Part 2: Uprisings

Sudden Noise Blog

Welcome to Sudden Noise.
Here I´ll be posting my book ´Steep Bank, Sudden Noise´ as it emerges from my penultimate rewrite, prior to colliding with a real editor.
On my side, the aim is to get feedback on what works - and of course especially on what doesn´t! So please make use of the comments fields. Even if you hate it, say so...You can also email me
There´s also a Facebook group which you´re also welcome to use. And invite others to take a look.
Hopefully you´ll get something out of it too, and will enjoy the book. It´s not for everybody´s taste I daresay but hopefully it pleases a few of you.
Lastly, a word on the layout. Obviously being in rewrite-edit mode, the book´s not going to be presented as a single coherent whole. Basically, the beginning of the story will be at the end of the blog - oldest pages are first. But I might be nipping backwards and forwards to change things - if that happens, I´ll let you know.
I´ll try keep non-book comments and updates clearly identifiable as such. But stop me if you´re getting confused...
The story starts here.

Part 2: Uprisings

'What you are running here is not a factory, it is a zoo. But in a zoo there are many types of animals. Some are monkeys who dance on your finger-tips, others are lions who can bite your head off. We are those lions, Mr manager.'
