Dear Supporters - I'm delighted to report that we have reached 30% of our target, so thanks very much to all of you. To celebrate this milestone I'm putting up another extract from the book, as promised. The previous extract, you may recall, was about how Adam wished that Natalie Forbes would fall in love with him; and she did; and they played tennis in the park and then she asked him back to her house. That's where that extract ended. Today's extract continues the story from there. For a change, I'm putting up a video of me reading the chapter aloud (prefaced by a bit of context about the novel's history). The whole thing lasts 9 minutes. If you like it, do share with friends - perhaps it will encourage them to pledge too and keep us moving on up!
