Floods delay next thrilling episode

Flooding on the underground has delayed the members of The Richmond Writers' Circle hearing the next episode of Emma's Baby. Carla has written this crime novel with skill and leaves us all anxious to hear the next installment. But we had a good night listening to other novels by our writers.
Barry's novel set in the 50's is funny, gripping and sad. Skillfully he sometimes manages all three feelings at the same time.
Vesna is drawing us into A Woman with no Clothes on. It is a novel that publishers like, but say is too quiet. Rubbish! It would become a best seller.
The Pebble Garden, that Vera is writing, is a complex novel within a novel and also deals with it's main character's reaction to world events. It begins in 1981 on the day the engagement of Lady Diana Spencer and Prince Charles was announced.
Elaine's novel, Blue Green, is set in Portsmouth and is about relationships between parents and children and men and women and is always received with enthusiasm from the circle.
