Hi, hope all’s well. Just to let you know my novel, ‘The Broken Boots Guide to Astlavonia’ has just been published. It’s a black comedy about a debt-ridden divorcee who is sent to Astlavonia, a former soviet state, to write its first ever guidebook but discovers all disputes are settled with a knife.
If you’d like to read the first chapter and find out more, please visit www.nathanbraund.com.
Please help an unknown writer by telling your friends.
Thanks very much.

Thank you for your very detailed comment. It's great to get another perspective on your own work.
I completely take on board your observations, some of which I was sort of aware of but it helps to hear it from a readers position. I feel like I've got a lot of learning to do with regard to my writing and all feedback is most welcome. You're right about the info dumping and the p.o.v. switching, something I will do my best to correct. Thanks again for your time, and don't worry I'll do some ignoring too when the criticism isn't spot on!
Regards Clare
