CloseJust finished writing my novel! Now to do the shitty part - try in vain to get crits and rework the not-so-good parts. So I dunno, what the hell, I thought I'd throw a line here and see if a fish bites.

Some of my other work can be found here.
SYNOPSIS:
The Repenters follows the partnership between two serial killers in Trinidad and Tobago. The first, Judah Weir, is an aging white man who claims to be an angel with a mission from God Himself. He claims to travel the Earth in order to locate selected people and torture them to the point of absolute repentence, in order to ensure their delivery to Heaven. The second, Joshua Sant, is a young neophyte murderer, who becomes Judah's assistant. The story switches between past and present. The past brings to focus Joshua's past and his upbringing in a Catholic orphanage, obsession over a young nun and first murder victims. The present is framed by Joshua and Judah's vain and frustrating attempts to transform their newest victim into a repenter.
LACONIC:
A serial killer and his protégé philosophize about dreams, love and the near and distant past while torturing their victim.
NOTES:
- "The Repenters" is a major reworking (if you could say that) of a story I wrote when I was about seventeen, called "Something Like Shangri-La". The story is entirely different, but the main characters are the same. I discarded the latter story a long time ago, along with others.
- I got a lot of ideas while writing this from the following books, TV shows, games and movies: The Little Prince, Miguel Street, Angels in America, Yume Nikki, Six Feet Under, The Wire, Mother 3, Doubt, Blue Velvet.
- I believe I started this right after I finished Leo & Leah, which would have been in February or March, so I wrote this novel pretty quickly.
- The novel is in first person, set in Trinidad and thus written in Trinidadian Creole dialect, and I dunno if that will turn people off.
- This was NOT inspired by Beautiful Escape: Dungeoneer.

So that's your name? :P
I just might try reading some of this(unless it pulls me in then I'll read it all!). I've always been interested in such things. I can at the very least give my amateur opinion on the first few pages haha I've read maybe 10 books in my entire life, including mandatory ones from high school so I'm no expert.

I'm reading it at the moment. I was going to print it so I could read it out and a bout, but I realised it'll cost me £20 =0
Anyway, I'm about 20 pages in.. I've noticed a couple of strange uses of words but I'm putting it down to the fact that it's not in standard English. ("tufts of snow" was one. Also, to me the word "ricochet" seems strange p.17)
Anyway, that's really splitting hairs. ;)
So far, it's quite unpleasant. But reads really well!

Kindle's the way to go, bro!
"Ricochet"... damn, yeah, that should be "shrapnel". I'll change that. There's a lot of purposely awkward phrases in there put intentionally. I dunno if that's discouraging or not.
Would you mind delving into more about what you mean by "unpleasant"?

When will you do the audio book/podcast version? (I've forgotten how to read. Nowadays I just listen to everything)

I can do one for the first chapter... but that's all you're gonna get. You could just pretend the first chapter is the whole book.
