Katy Carter Keeps a Secret
“What do you think? Is it good enough to send?”It’s Monday evening and Maddy and I are having a long-overdue girls’ night at the pub. Ollie’s at a parents’ evening, Richard’s looking after the twins and Holly won’t be here until after seven, so we’ve had a window of time to look over my sample chapter for Throb.I’m gripping the stem of my wine glass so tightly I’m half expecting it to shatter. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so nervous about showing my best friend something I’ve written. Mads has been my critique partner and beta reader for as long as I’ve been writing, but showing her this sample chapter is absolutely terrifying. I couldn’t feel more exposed if I were sitting in the Mermaid stark naked. I mean, what if she thinks all that stuff I’ve described is based on my own sex life? What if she thinks Ollie and I actually do these things ourselves? Like the bit when Alexi rips Lucinda’s tights off with his teeth, lashes her to the kitchen table, fetches the clothes pegs and—Well that.
