While I'm in the middle of writing the two final chapters for Off Balance, I'll just tease you a little with a fragment from the novel. :) It is a flashback, set during Die Another Day. You can expect the completed novel over the summer.

Here goes:

[quote]It was particularly crowded on the platforms of the Oxford Circus tube station. The rush hour had not passed yet and as the cold draft moved through the Victoria Line tunnels, Joyce Carrington stood between the commuters, nursing a hangover.

*smiles warmly*

That's my Joyce.

Fantastic Luv!

Of course if 003 & 004 get a cameo by the third novel I expect a small percentage of the profits. :)

Great Dear. Thanks for sharing.

This is looking great, highly inventive and original with plenty of interesting incidental detail. Looking forward to the rest.
