Sam: Synopsis

Four friends of old each receive a photograph.  All of the photographs are different and each one shows the individual with someone they have never seen before.  There are no notes with the photographs but on the back is written part of a riddle.

This is a story about four friends whose lives are inextricably linked beyond friendship.  To solve the riddle is to solve the mystery of the photgraphs.  But what follows could not only shatter their friendships but the whole world as they know it. 

The story is based on 4 characters Ellie, Damo, Elizabeth and Seb.  They each posess different qualities that are vital to solving the initial mystery but on solving this it only leads to more questions and reveals that not everyone is what they seem....

  1. Sounds really interesting.. and challenging re changing people's world views. When read alongside info from your tweets - it could have potential to tie into a spin off PC game/online quest.

  2. Like Steve you've come up with a strong opening hook. When you say 'each one shows the individual with someone they have never seen before' I assume it's the same person in each case, and you are going to have to work hard to convince the reader that none of them recognise him/her - unless of course they're lurking in the background. This is promising to be a heavily plotted novel with mayhem involved, and possibly a twisted mastermind...I look forward to reading more.
