Either you have written in a prior life or you worked on this with a very good editor (which I doubt due to several word errors) or you slaved over this effort for a long time!
My vote is the last scenario - hard work plus a lot of learned talent coming to expression! But you have written before somewhere. It matters not - a solid first effort.
Let the next one cook for awhile as well - ageing is good!
Thanks for your time and talent - with high Regard
P.S. It wasn't just your writting - you choose a theme which didn't offend (two hero's) wrapped with depth of talent and emotion then cloaked it in an interesting unique circumstance and setting. Well Done!!!
It's rare to read something this good, and even more unusual is its honesty and stark realism. A true pleasure to come across, no pun intended although highly probable for most readers, lol.
(If you would like someone to read over and catch the minor spelling errors in your writing, please feel free to contact me.)
For a first admission, it's really great. And I'm looking forward to more.
Absolutely amazing. Loved it. What a read. I did notice the grammar errors but the story was amazing regardless of that. I'm glad I bumped into this.
