The Bell Rock Mystery - Epilogue.
Created | Updated May 3, 2007
The queue waited patiently for the guest to arrive, it was a hot sunny day that summer, but the crowd waited with eager anticipation.
From behind a red curtain two figures emerged, one middle aged man and a woman in her late twenties.
The manager of the shop ushered the guest into a chair behind a table covered in the authors’ work. The pile of hardback books bore an atmospheric dark picture of a lighthouse, shining out of the dark, on the front dust cover.
The red velvet rope was pulled back and the first reader came through holding out a copy of ‘The Bell Rock Mystery’ for the author to sign.
As the lady reader laid her eyes on the writer her face dropped as though an immense disappointment had overcome her.
“Oh?” she said, “But?” still holding out the book.
The writer took the book from the ladies hand, “Not what you were expecting?”
“No, not really, I was expecting someone else, a man I thought, Neil…”
“I know, that’s me.” Smiled Kate Wood.
