"Audrey", by Sean-Paul Thomas




Mr. Thomas has an unimaginable range of style and topics from mystery to romance, from books for young adults to some not meant for immature person. You name the genre and for sure you will find one in his library that will catch your fancy. I am honoured to have received this latest from Sean-Paul to read and provide my honest and unbiased thoughts. Thank you.
Short Blurb

“Just out of prison, a young Scottish builder and aspiring writer, meets a washed-up, heavy-drinking, chain-smoking, middle-aged French film actress who tries to help him win back his estranged daughter by getting his screenplay made into a movie in Paris.”

My thoughts

This story was a pleasure to read. Elegantly written “Audrey” pulled me in from the get-go and kept me captive till the very last word. We have three players in this romantic fiction: Joe, the main character with Audrey Beart, the actress, and as supporting cast, Colm, his true friend. Similar to a screenplay this sweet romance spins a tale of someone out of his league seeing the opportunity to realise his dreams and gambles to get it....Every piece , movement, action, expression and dialogues are vividly describes to express the characters feelings. This story can definitely be a blue print for a movie.

“Audrey” is full of unexpected delights and a riot in many ways. We have an introvert meeting an extrovert in a crazy relationship that can never last. Along the way we travel the streets of Paris visiting multiple establishments, we drink a lot, smoke a lot, swear a lot and yes lots of hanky-panky.

What a journey “Audrey” gives and the best fiction I read from this author so far, hopefully there will be more to come.

Well done, well said.
