The Chamber - Update

The Chamber is due to be released in the next week as e-book and paperback.

The present can never be separated from the past, as Jack Lomax knows so well.

The Chamber

We are all made up of mistakes, each and every one of us. Mistakes of genetics, mistakes of birth, a mistake in an exam that takes us from pass to fail and a wrong turn that takes us to places we never should go.

Jack is thinking about mistakes as he stands next to Jess’s grave, in the shadow of St Christopher’s Church. The grass is neat and the flowers fresh in this part of the churchyard; someone has not forgotten Jess even after twenty years. The headstone glistens in the rain, and the rain that falls on Jack is cold, but not as cold as the grave he stands beside.

Is it a mistake to come back? Twenty years. Two decades, almost a generation.

Some of the faces Jack knew in this town will be gone, the rest will be older but his return will bring the past back, memories best forgotten will be resurrected and maybe other things as well.
