Oh, again, no "Next Chapter" button. Speaking of hard to keep track of minutae...

Quan was a nice contrast to our last funky a couple of chapters ago. As you noted, with a one of there's only time for one slap of a big brush, but the different colors are appreciated.

More of a reflective chapter here, so... At least Daryla, so far, hasn't manifested the jealous side. Yes, I'd picked up Jyna's attitude, although I'd not commented on it. Obviously, Lola has as well.

On to the next chapter to see what Lola came up with!

Really enjoyed that, Simon 👍🏼

I like to see detectives work the minutiae before cracking a case. Putting in the hard yards make the resolution more worthwhile I think

Magical Air Conditioning sounds perfect about now. It being this warm for September in Scotland is unheard of, but I guess that’s global warming for you 🙄

We’re quite enjoying Ahsoka so far and quite like the slightly slower pacing. Ray Stevenson’s character is pretty cool and a bit ambiguous but Rosario Dawson is great as always

I’ve not heard of One Piece but I’ll check it out 👍🏼

I never replied to you! Sorry about that.

I really worried about the pacing of the stories when I first started writing Triverse. It has a very different pacing to my previous books, which were far more propulsive and action-oriented. Mixing crime fiction into my usual genres has drastically shifted how the story plays out.

Rosario Dawson is always brilliant, as you say. It's such a shame that Stevenson passed away recently, and especially so given how good his work is in Ahsoka.

No worries, Simon. I appreciate you writing back to me as always

Just noticed the next chapter has just dropped so off to read that now! 😁

I’ve always been a big fan of Stevenson since he started in the BBC series Rome

Ironically he was staying in the same hotel as us when we were down for Star Wars celebration this April. We spotted him outside when we were leaving and me and my son debated whether to go up and say hello. Sadly we did the polite British thing of leaving him be and regret that now. Seemed like a lovely chap. A sad loss
