...but that wasn't a good place to end. It felt abrupt, almost rushed or arbitrarily placed. Additionally, Rosie's history is introduced very late to the reader which makes it hard to distinguish which character we need to focus on. Suggestion: focus on S and R for the moment. Others can be mentioned as background but it should be brief until we get a connection to your main pro/antagonist. My username is Simply Silver if you would like development help or a proof reader.
You're right...the Soames stories are kind of lazy writing. None of them are terribly long or even gone over more than once. My other stuff (if you go back into it) is a little more involved, particularly the Shoeblossom stories. I am in a period of dormant creativity...you really might enjoy the old stuff better
