On a lighter note than taken in my previous blog (!), I have received pretty positive feedback to the first draft of the new book. My agent wrote “I have really enjoyed the novel and was hooked over the weekend. BRAVO!” and one of my editors in New York came back with “I’ve read it now, and enjoyed it immensely!! It’s masterfully plotted and I just love the character of Leo.”
So far, so good! I now await the opinion of the Big Man himself!
“Robin Pilcher is popular novelist Rosamunde Pilcher’s oldest son, and living proof that talent does run in families…..with his Scottish sensibility and captivating wordplay, Pilcher is able to craft a fine and fulfilling novel.” (Booklist)
“If An Ocean Apart is any indication of Robin Pilcher’s works, then it is only a matter of time before the author becomes as well-known as his mother.” (Amazon.co.uk.)
“My family was brought up with the feelgood factor, so that’s what I write about. Real people and believable situations. My characters may be criticized by some as being stereotypical, but quite honestly, I take that as a compliment. One can associate with them.” (Robin Pilcher)
