"stephenterry" commented on stephenterry's Blog "Samui Secrets change of title and book cover...".HI SS - and all down to WC suggestions that paved the way ... what a fantastic lot you all are. I've just got to finish it now, and hope the inside is as good as the cover!

"SecretSpi" commented on stephenterry's Blog "Samui Secrets change of title and book cover...".The title is a stroke of genius! With the second picture, you'll have a cracking cover - or, sounds like you already have....

"stephenterry" commented on Tenacityflux's Blog "So, how’s that research going then?".Great blog - good to see you've put in the effort to make your setting as authentic as possible. It's worth it and I bet you're feeling smug now! I went over to Koh Samui to do exactly that for my new novella - lucky it's only a couple of hours ...

"stephenterry" commented on stephenterry's Blog "Samui Secrets change of title and book cover...".Thanks guys - unanimous decision. The second one it is, which is a picture of Bophut pier, an embarkment for trips to other islands. The turquoise patch is a patch - scary isn't it! And I8 - I've replied to your message - the draft cover is ...

"Gerilyn" commented on stephenterry's Blog "Samui Secrets change of title and book cover...".The first one- absolutely. (Kidding- I prefer the 2nd one too)

"Tony" commented on stephenterry's Blog "Samui Secrets change of title and book cover...".I'd agree; the second. But I don't know what the turquoise patch is halfway along. I'm presuming it's not something with any relevance to the story. In which case, you ought to photoshop it out, as it would needlessly distract.

"Tenacityflux" commented on stephenterry's Blog "Samui Secrets change of title and book cover...".Absolutely the second one - it's perfect as it's a one way street - walk too far, fall off the end and there is no come back - it has the sense of intrigue and danger in a beautiful setting, and also references that old school come back 'why don't ...

"Skylark" commented on stephenterry's Blog "Samui Secrets change of title and book cover...".I agree with Whisks. The top one made me think too much along the lines of holiday romance rather than murder in paradise. Like the change of title :-)

"Caducean Whisks" commented on stephenterry's Blog "Samui Secrets change of title and book cover...".I like the second one, Stephen. It's going somewhere and leads to imaginative possibilities, whereas the first one is static - sit down and the action stops. The second also resonates more with 'No Come Back', whereas the first doesn't have any ...

"stephenterry" commented on AlanP's Blog "Tinker Tailor Soldier Error".Tom Horn, starring Steve McQueen, was probably the best western movie made - and it was based on a true-life character.

stephenterry wrote a new blog: "Samui Secrets change of title and book cover...".Thanks Thanks to you guys with your suggestions I've decided to use No Come Back as the title - it's a play on words both English and Thai and resonates with the music theme of Jimmy Mack.I have two potential book covers. Please let me know which ...

by Amarantha 12 days agoHi Stephen,
Dealing with e-mail this morning, I found Amazon had recommended your Hawaii High Five for me based on previous purchases. Naturally I bought it :-) Wrath had already pointed us to a Kindle for PC app so next 'to do' is to try downloading from PC to Kindle. (No wireless yet but at least I can keep up with Clouders' e-stuff) -
by Squidge 27 days agoStephen - had to say 'thank you!' for the post regarding chapter 1! So glad you liked it. Not sure how I'm going to tackle the 'don't write as a woman so much' comment, but will try.

Glad you're still with us. :-) -
by JB 8 months agoHello, thanks for the comment on my story. I did not feel that I had to introduce the character as this first page is really a nightmare.... I wanted not to give to much away. Its still early days for me and I think I will be at this for a long time before it go enough :) Thank you again and I hope I will improve.

Any special events planned, considering you are coming up to 1000 posts on WW?
Maybe you'll get a WW toaster, or something else ... a pet rabbit? hamster?
