Okay so coming back to Wattpad, after years of abandoning it due to my embarrassing reads of cliches, I didn't expect to find such a gold here it was so so perfect for me, something which had a perfect mixture of mystery, humour, real-life rants (I still relate to umbrella situation so much), a real-life experience as a budding artist and an office worker(I can also relate to too upright but unfair boss like Paula), the self-growth of Isobel as an individual, her confidence boost.... It was such an interesting read, thank you! I hope your career is going great and you are happy. 
          
          P.s. also thank you so much for the proper English (it helped me break my image that Wattpad has bad English novels), I very much appreciate it!

@deadly_sunshine Thank you so much!! I'm having kind of a crappy day and your email put a smile on my face. (Part of the reason for my crappy day is I've been editing some appallingly poor editorial content as part of my day job, so I especially appreciate the fact that you appreciated my proper English--that is a pride point for both me and Isobel!) I do have three more books in the series (cheap on Smashwords right now) and a freebie short story here if you're interested. Thanks again for your very kind words and I wish you well!

Just finish Temporary Detective. The book is exceptional. I couldn't even put it down, it had me hooked!!! I thought I had figured out the plot during the first few chapters but NO it was way more complicated. The ending was kind of satisfying. It was mind boggling . Loved it!!!

Hey, I just found this the temporary detective while browsing Wattpad and I have to admit that I am really loving it. Can't wait to read the rest.

Hey, I accidentally stumbled upon your work and I have to say you're a great writer. You have a way with words plus your plot is quite thrilling with just the right amount of humour. Weirdly enough, The Temporary Detective sounds like something that could happen in real life which adds to the whole experience. 
          I hope that in the future you would be able to publish a book of your own. 
          Wishing you all the success in the world.

@pinnacoladaaaaa Thank you so much! This is the sort of message that warms a writer's heart :) I actually have five published books, including this one. There are three more Isobel novels that you can get on Amazon, etc. and another free short story on here! Also, Isobel is loosely based on my experiences as a temp/aspiring actress in the 1990s! All best, Joanne

Hi. What were you in on Broadway? I live in a small town in India, where I can only dream. I love musical theatre! What's your favourite musical?

JoanneSydneyLessner

I agree - Hamilton is genius. I never tire of listening to it.  I never saw Waitress, but I know many people who loved it. Best of luck to you!! Stick to your dream - it can happen. Really! @whitesaucepasta

@whitesaucepasta I love waitress and  hamilton. Waitress was the first one I ever listened to. Then I learned of Wicked. Hamilton is a lyrical and musical genius. It gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. But Jenna from Waitress is my dream role, hands down.

@whitesaucepasta I was in a musical adaptation of Cyrano. I love musical theatre too! My favorite show is A Little Night Music. I've done three different productions, all of them very special. What is yours?

Was this a Wattpad novel?

JoanneSydneyLessner

@safakeira25 One of my favorite quotes is "Don't get it right, get it written." So good for you! And keep going :) I have five published novels and am not working on anything else right now. I also write for the theater and I'm a music journalist as well.

@JoanneSydneyLessner Okay! I've already started on one and I'm currently progressing on it. Are you writing any new novels? And do you write other genres as well? (Just curious)

JoanneSydneyLessner

@safakeira25 Well I hope you enjoy! And I'm glad you saw it on Mangatoon. I wasn't sure how much visibility it was getting there. As far as tips go, just write! And don't worry about it being perfect. Just get your thoughts on paper. That's really the hardest part--getting started, and then keeping going.
