My name is James Schofield. I'm starting work on a novel and I want to use this blog to swop ideas with people about writing fiction. I will describe what I am doing and I hope that you will be interested in discussing it with me. I write in English, but you can use the Google translator to help if anything is unclear and you can submit comments in whatever language you prefer.

Chapter 18 - Natalia Kaiec
Chapter 18 took a long time to write, not because it was particularly difficult but because I had too many other distractions. I find if there are too many other things going on, then I can't give the story the necessary concentration. Let's see how many chapters I can get out over the Christmas period.
The story so far: Celia Thomas has been commissioned to do some restoration work on a 16th century chapel in Croatia belonging to the ambitious up-and-coming politician Colonel Kaiec. While in Zagreb Celia comes across evidence that her brother Ned, whom she believed had been killed in Bosnia Herzegovina in 1995 is in fact alive. Her investigations uncover disturbing facts about his apparent death and this causes trouble for a freelance-journalist, Tomi Lederer, who tries to help her. In London she meets various former associates of her brother, one of whom - Timothy Arnold - claims that her brother was part of an arms smuggling ring. Two others, Jeremy Fisk and Bernard Creasey, deny this, but Bernard is shortly afterwards run over by a van. Could Celia be heading for trouble when she returns to Zagreb?
