Peter J Sterpe liked an update for Henderson House

Happy September!

I have a quick update from the home team at Inkshares. Henderson House is next in line. They are currently working on editorial letters for Stephen Harrison’s novel, Infodemic - Stephen is a fellow contest winner. 

Infodemic is about an unlikely group of volunteers who must race to defend the world’s most popular online encyclopedia against malicious disinformation during a global pandemic. 

The Inkshares team will move from a present-day online battle for the truth, to 1940’s Bartlesville and a private struggle between two sisters to find it as well. Oh, those sneaky universal themes :)

I will keep you posted, but next on deck is a great spot to be.

Cheers,

Caren

    Really liked Chapter 1, and agree with the commenter who thought the original was better. I was, indeed, hooked quicker by the original. I got a nicer sense of the city from the alternative, though, especially the imagery of the bustle. The alternative seems to want to establish Bessie’s character by describing her job and what a tight ship she runs. She’s substantial, but can the office details maybe wait? Her reaction to the eyeglasses tells me a lot about her; also the fact that her sister makes a lot of the decisions. The mimeograph machines and the not-to-be-called-copy-girls and the career backstory felt a little planned. The original chapter makes me want to read more, and as I do, I’ll be happy to learn more about what makes Bessie tick.
