Thanks for sharing this, I think it's great and I'm sorry you didn't keep going.

I particularly loved "I would think about sticking my hand up her skirt and bringing out the color a little more", one of those really great euphemisms that says so much with so little.

Thanks Ian ~ I think writing this did help me find the voice I wanted to work in… it’s on the way towards my work now, in that it’s an adult female voice, smart, funny… but Ann is probably a little more sinister than my current protagonists!!
