Description: EPISODE TEN: January 2015 – Tony Scarlett
Gorgeous woman, new Corinna. Plus she writes sexy stuff. Woman of my dreams.
Nah. She’d never look at me. Probably married or whatever. Though she has that kind of needy, seeking look. Does she? You’re kidding yourself, mate.
Christ – Rud getting himself an agent. Jealous, moi? Since you ask, yes. I wish him well, mind. But I said, ‘Don’t count your chickens, mate. You’re still a long way from signing up with a publisher, and even then…’ Not that he’d listen to me. Never seen the boy with such a big grin on his face.
Nothing from the kids today. Supposed to be their day for Skyping. Too busy with homework, Lyn will say. More like too busy playing their stupid online games. Too busy to speak to Dad. Don’t know why I bother. I’m kidding myself, pretending they need me.
Don’t think about the kids. Focus on Corinna. Think of her as I fall asleep – that lovely face, engaging eyes. Think of doing the stuff with her she writes about. Is that why she does it – substitute for the real thing?
I could do all that with her, and more, if that’s what she wants.

About the Author
Rosalie Warren was once a university lecturer, specialising in Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing. But her earliest love was books and stories, and since taking early retirement ten years ago she has been following her dream of writing and publishing. For details of her publications for adults and children, including science fiction and romantic suspense, see http://srg521.wix.com/mybooks and https://www.facebook.com/RosalieWarrenAuthor/
Rosalie has been an exile from Scotland for the past fourteen years, but still has many happy memories of the wonderful city of Edinburgh, where her children were born and raised, and of the equally amazing Dundee, where she worked for a further three years. Going back even further, she was born and brought up in Yorkshire, and regularly returns there to visit a seaside place not so very different from the town of Castlehaven in her serial.
Rosalie is also a qualified proofreader and editor and (under the name Sheila Glasbey) her editing services can be found at http://www.affordable-editing.com/
