Holiday is a free online serialised novel / novella by Rob Hopcott in twenty instalments.

Holiday is a free online serialised novel / novella by Rob Hopcott in twenty instalments.

Yippee! I’ve just finished the re-write of Holiday an old short mystery novel / novella and am now posting it online each working day as a free online serial.

The mystery story takes place against a background of holiday cottages, a small West Country rural village, a Devon boathouse and a horse riding centre.

As all you authors out there know, re-editing or re-writing is a fairly compulsive activity for writers. It is very hard for a creative scribbler to read something they have written and not be tempted to change at least some small part.

As it turned out, Holiday was a tough re-write but I hope it will be worth all the effort and it will reach more people in its revised, and hopefully better, form.

New instalments of Holiday are being posted weekdays and it runs for twenty episodes.

I hope you enjoy the free online serialised novel / novella Holiday by Rob Hopcott.

New free online serialised novels / novellas for 2009 from Rob Hopcott

My New Year’s resolution is to add to the number of my free online novels and here are details of the first two for 2009.

I’ve also decided to serialise these new free online novels and make them available in their very own blogs. Does that make them novels, novellas, blogels, blogellas or flogels? I don’t know.

However, I’ve got all these writing ideas whizzing around in my head that need to be let out because they are making my head hurt. So here goes with these free online stories.

Motorhome is a free online serialised novel / novella about a young lass that has suffered as a result of the credit crunch, loses everything and goes to work in a down at heel motor home sales business. Will adventure, love and romance follow? Of course it will!

Buddy is the name of the violin that narrates his life story in Buddy the violin’s fiddle blog. (Or is it her life story?) Anyway, the story goes back a very long way so there are some opportunities for free online historical fiction.

What? Violins can’t tell stories? Shh! Don’t speak so loudly, you could hurt Buddy’s feelings!

I hope you like these serialised free online novels  / novellas :-)

Review of The Me Clone – a romantic comedy with science fiction overtones by Gene Keyes

Clone or shadowI very much enjoyed reading The Me Clone by Gene Keyes. It was well written and carried me through the thirty-three chapters effortlessly and pleasantly. It was a gentle and philosophical romance story with a pleasant sprinkling of comedy and humor.

The subject of this free online novella / novel / long story was about cloning which some might find contentious but Gene Keyes writes with a light touch that never offends. In fact, I could see that cloning a fully grown person would make a good topic for discussion at any dinner party and Gene Keyes examines many of the philosophical issues through his story.

The Me Clone which is a free romantic comedy with science fiction overtones by Gene Keyes gets the Hopcott High Five for being an excellent free online novel or novella that provides a good free read.

What do you think about cloning? Your comments are welcome below :-)
