Summary:My first novel attempt. This is about a woman transformed into a werewolf against her will. Tess has to find her way in a world where none of the rules are clear to her. She makes mistkes that risk both her and her younger sister's life. One of her mistakes takes the form of a rogue werewolf who she accidently entices into a mating dance. Plus, those that transformed her seek her for capture and study. She'll have to learn to embrace her animal or be destroyed by it. At this point, I just want to know if the story is compelling.

Summary:I rewrote this, after posting two chapters before. I added more material, making this 1500 words. I plan to write more but do not have a clear pattern for the plot yet. Any suggestions welcome. Welsh experts welcome particularly. I've read a few of their stories and been to this place (Monmouth) and Carnarvon. Had a Welsh language introduction as well. Wild stuff.Chapters: | |||||||

![]() | Struggling to Breathe | Sarah Elizabeth Ashcombe | Novel | 6 | n/a | Apr 15, 2008 | |
Summary:Anna is a cellist with the London Chamber Orchestra and her fiancé Charles is an investment banker; they live in Chelsea, London England. Charles isolates Anna; their relationship has left her feeling dependent and insecure. Charles has asked Anna to marry him but he hasn’t shown interest in planning a wedding date. The abuse is subtle and insidious; she doesn’t sleep well and rarely sees her family and friends. Throughout the story Charles’s moods swing capriciously between charm and contempt. He can be cruel; using lies, ridicule and fear to keep her off balance. The emotional abuse slowly erodes her self-esteem, blinding her to the truth of his character. The first chapter unfolds as Anna learns of the sudden death of her beloved grandmother. Anna and Charles are having breakfast in his Chelsea flat the morning after her parents’ telephone call. This moment is when the reader begins to understand Charles’s lack of empathy and his use of recriminations to hurt her. Anna is eating the birthday cake she made for him while Charles is finishing his breakfast impatiently, putting his papers and laptop into his briefcase. Anna is eating for comfort, trying her best to maintain her composure. Charles ignores her sadness and reminds her that she shouldn't be eating the cake and his critical stares tell her he doesn't approve. It is important to him that Anna be slim and attractive so that she will make a favorable impression on his friends. Anna places the cake in the trash bin and watches as Charles smiles smugly before turning to leave. The book goes on to describe the weekend house party where the abuse intensifies and the reader is drawn into Anna’s fear. During the weekend she endures the same thoughtless behavior the girlfriends of his friends silently accept. The reader will be able to see what Anna will not believe; that Charles is an insecure and deeply troubled man who uses Anna’s misery to feel a sense of empowerment. Anna’s grief and her friendship with a fellow musician, George, help her to eventually find the strength to end the abusive relationship with Charles. George is a pianist with the orchestra and they often practice their solo pieces together. George’s love and tenderness encourage Anna to focus on her music and break free from the fear and chaos that has surrounded her life. Her grandmother was a free spirit and a gifted musician who lived her life with passion and humor. She was very close to Anna and she gave her a love of classical music. She knows her grandmother wanted her to be more independent, but Anna wants desperately to be loved by Charles. When her grandmother died she left her home in Hampstead to Anna’s parents. During the long afternoons when Anna is packing her grandmother’s belongings she reads her letters and looks through her photo albums. In a time when expectations were placed on women, her grandmother had chosen her own life. She was a composer and Anna’s grandfather was a violinist. The photographs, love letters and diaries provide Anna with glimpses into her grandmother’s triumphs and struggles. The love and admiration her grandparents shared inspires Anna to hold onto her dreams of being a concert cellist and end her relationship with Charles. In the final chapter Anna leaves Charles and George finally tells her he has loved her for years. Anna wants to believe that she and George will be happy but in her heart she knows Charles will never let her go. I am hoping to receive feedback that will help me to develop my characters and their relationships with each other. I would like readers to feel a connection to Anna and her struggle to find her dreams.Chapters: | |||||||
