On a funny note I
had a chat in the staff canteen of the hospital I volunteer at when I went in
for a job interview a few weeks ago with one of my colleagues about my novel.
The JtR murders had a certain level of surgical skill and the ones that
followed were plain savage, yet at the time some people considered them to be “Ripping’s”
at the time – I made the remark that if this was accurate then ‘Jack the Ripper
killed some people: and then he went mental’: totally forgetting that in
conversation context matters and I was talking about what was done to the body
rather than his state of mind. Oops.

My Novel
OK then: just got
given a few new books for my birthday which will help with the next one (the
supernatural horror, I know it’s hard to keep up but I tend to have a lot of
projects on-the-go at once; it makes life interesting) The novel I’m writing is
a post-Jack the Ripper story, focusing on the murders which followed Jack the
Ripper in London. JtR has been done to death (no pun intended) so I decided to
focus on some of the later Whitechapel murders.
