Thanks, I’ll send a short narrative later today (we have a 2-year-old who’s taking up my days at the moment!).

Hi John. If you have the inclination please get in touch …
Hi Rob, I’ve sent you an email!
Hi John, I’m finishing a draft on Carrie and narrative. I just wanted to let you know that out of the plethora of the novel’s critics you were really the only one to address the narrative in a meaningful manner. I really enjoyed your chapter on the Gothic Script.
Thanks so much! And apologies for VERY delayed response. No excuses, but glad you liked the Carrie chapter, it was good fun to write. Where will your work be published?
Hi John, no worries on the reply. My work is currently in peer review land, but I will update when it comes out.
Cheers
Jo
