Meanwhile all the moments of spontaneity and beauty they’ll ever have in their lives are flitting from future into past without being noticed. That’s why there are so many grumpy assholes in the world”

Hi & thank you for being a friend on Good Reads!
Good to meet another Thriller enthusiast.Good luck with your options. I'm waiting for the phone to ring myself.

Thanks for adding me to your friends, William. It's good to make the acquaintance of a Scottish writer - we used to live in Troon - so not far from where you originate. Ironically I'm Canadian so you've moved to my part of the world and I'm still over in yours (I'm in Northern Ireland now).Dianne Ascroft,
author, 'Hitler and Mars Bars'
Hello, Will! Nice to see you here. :) Thanks for the add.Louise
