Kissing Frogs

The trouble with Frog Princes is that they are, by their very definition, not what they appear to be. They are slippery customers, masters of deception, illusion and evasion with hidden qualities. Kissing them is a big risk, you may end up with the fairy tale prince we all know about from childhood fairy tales, equally, you may end up with something quite different.


Fragments.

Before The Playhouse hits the shelves in November, a short paperback containing raw fragments, largely unedited, of the completed novel will be going to those of you on the mailing list. It has been curated to give you a taste of the atmosphere before the official launch. Pieces of the whole will be in your hands to examine and preview.

And, this isn’t the whole story—not yet. The pages hold the echoes of characters and the whispers of a plot, but the full picture is still under wraps. You will be holding a literary puzzle. Characters without a home. Scenes without a sequence. You’ve been selected to view these fragments before the world sees the finished work.

The Challenge: Piece together the narrative. Guess the secrets. Can you see the “whole” through the “parts”?
