What a treat on Halloween

On August of 25th, I sent a little message to a band called The Webb that I mentioned them in my novel, "Nocturnal Mermaid".  They were pleased.

The Webb Hope the novel is coming on nicely.. x

Crystal Ramos *Feels a chill* Hi! *Hugs* I got a chill (okay, it's cold too) but mainly because I just typed The Webb in the very first (very first band to be mentioned, actually!) chapter. But it's coming out just nicely! It's more than lovely that you remember. Means a lot to me.

Crystal Ramos I don't normally do this (to bands at least lol) but would you like to read the first chapter? It's a work in progress currently. Or would you wait until the finished chapter or novel? Leaving it up to you. x

Crystal Ramos Sent! Hope you enjoy.

 

***And here is the e-mail***

 

Hey Crystal

We read your first chapter together and loved it. Fast moving, visually atmospheric and full of intrigue! Great characters too, all with their own personalities and sparkling conversation. You’ve got the goth vibe down to perfection. It is screaming out to be made into a movie, and you’ve got a cool soundtrack to accompany it!!! Thanks to the power of Google, we have researched the likes of The Shroud, Ayria and Blutengel... all of whom we hadn't heard before. There are SO many cool bands out there!

Thanks for having one of our songs on in the club! Let’s go there tonight and dance!!

Looking forward to seeing what’s in store for young Scarlett!

Hope you don't mind us pointing out something in the sentence beginning “She motioned...” Presume it should read either “as she led me inside”, OR “and led me inside”.  Obviously a proof reader would flag things like this up when it goes to print!

Hope you enjoy the rest of your writing, and relish the whole process. Our friend Die Booth, the author, loves Be My Lover too!! We had fun making that video. Me meandering down the alleyway behind our house in a charity shop bought wedding dress! And marc standing on the pavement ,videoing it!

Presume we have a time difference??! It is 12.15pm here. Both off work today, getting ready for our trick OR treat visitors later on! Thanx again for letting us read chapter one.  Lots of literary love and little black roses. Becki and Marc AKA The Webb xxxx
