A great read

"Drawing Dead is a story with a real and believable character. Faolan O'Connor was not a saint in his life and that doesn't change after he dies. Seeing a flawed and damaged person try and manage his way through a world he is new to, was a thrill. Seeing him thrive was an unexpected surprise. Drawing Dead is a complex story with many layers, each one being revealed as Faolan himself discovers them. It is full of life and has characters and plots that are well thought out and layered in a way to always keep the reader thinking. Brian McKinley brings this whole world to life in a new and interesting way. I can't wait for his next novel."

Gifted writer!

"First, I think you can change the title to just Drawing Dead’. I mean there’s no need for the ‘Faolan O’Connor Novel’ in the title. Besides the title, I love the way this story is written! You’re a truly gifted writer and you managed to bring out the human aspect of each of your characters. Especially the first part of the first chapter where Faolan watches as his friend stabs him? That part was really well written. However, I think you need to be more careful when it comes to your use of grammar. I noticed a lot of subject-verb agreement issues and some problems with the tense. As in, you’ve written some parts in past tense and some in present. It makes the story a little difficult to follow. Clean up these issues, and you’ve got a great novel! I hope to see it published soon!"
