[Robert Newman]

Helene, the description you gave for your book was really fascinating. I
felt I could follow the pattern, the flow life took in your book.

Subject: Re: [stylist] Moving backwards and forwards in time?

Thanks for getting back to me on my last question. I think I've now pruned
everything that can be. I've also decided to send work privately to who ever
is interested. Once I've completed the novel.

Anyone interested in reading samples of my work off group?

I've another question regarding time.  For the first 14 chapter we go back
and forwards in time. The first chapter is set in November 2012.
Nema (who is blind and Autistic flees from the Nazdonian dictator with her
baby son who has taken these magic gems from their hiding place).
She is helped by the major character Malaz. The next chapter is set in
1965 until 1975. Introducing the Murdag family from the perspective of a non
magical character from Poln (which is a country rather like England so very
close to the real world). Chapter 3 is back to November, 2012.  This goes on
for the first 15 chapters.
Part two is all set in the past (1978 onwards). Part 3 in 2010 to 2012 were
the book ends with the dictator's downfall). Since this is a differant world
I did try giving it a differant time, and differant names for months (13
originally) but I found it confused things too much so now it's back to our
times.

Helene
