Brien - I haven't seen Downton Abbey, but the split is probably closest to upstairs/downstairs. Chapter 2 introduces the world below, and the first several chapters alternate above and below the cloud deck.
Hiya! I've converted the book "idea" for "Beneath White Clouds" into a project. Chapter 1 is up for your perusal, and pre-ordering is available. Take a gander, see if it strikes your fancy, and please share the word through your favorite social media. Or your most hated social media. Either way. More updates and chapters to follow! I'm currently writing out the grand finale! Any feedback you might give along the way is always much appreciated!
You open this section with a frightened man with a gun, and that's what I want to know about. Think about removing the 2 paragraphs of exposition, stick to action, and work the info you cut out back in later in the story. Focus on character and action, especially so close to the beginning of the book. I've read the first two sections so far, and overall I'm interested a looking forward to more!
