Phoenix Project Lord Loss
02 October 2023I've read out lots of different scenes from mine at events over the years, but the two I've done WAY more than any other are the scene in Cirque Du Freak when the wolf man bites off a woman's hand (I usually get kids up to help me act it out) and chapter 2 of Lord Loss. The CDF scene is absolutely brilliant for the inclusivity factor -- it makes everyone else at the event feel like they're at a show -- but in terms of a straight-up reading, the Lord Loss chapter knocks everything else out of the park. It's extra juicy when I have a really good microphone -- I usually manage to make the crowd jump in their seats with shock at least once in the reading!
I mention all of that because I was put in mind of it when reading a really cool review for Lord Loss on The Phoenix Project blog. It was written by an old blogging associate of mine, Matthew Bell -- I can recall his reviews of my books many years ago, when we were both a lot younger. It was interesting to get his take on Lord Loss when he returned to it as an adult, and to see that it can still sink its hooks into readers, no matter how much they might have aged.
