    About this ebook

    It's short, it's somewhat silly and the humour verges on lavatorial.

    Behind every successful author is a dedicated team of betareaders, those essential second eyes who pounce on any errors or inconsistencies.

    Lesley Tither writes under various pen-names for different genres – Tottie Limejuice, for the Sell the Pig travel memoirs series, L M Krier for the DI Ted Darling series of crime thrillers, and L M Kay for children's fiction.

    Her team of invaluable betareaders includes members in England, Wales, Italy, France and Australia. Although the books are all written in English, some of it is northern colloquial which can lead to some hilarious exchanges, as can the peculiarities of life in rural France.

    So here, for your amusement, are some examples of what goes on behind the scenes in the production of the books.

    And the title? Well, fellow crime writer David Videcette unwisely challenged Tottie to use it for something, and Tottie does love a challenge!

      No Girl on this Train - Tottie Limejuice

      Foreword

      Tottie Limejuice is my travel memoirs pen-name, me being retired journalist/copywriter/copy editor Lesley Tither, living in France's Auvergne. I also write crime fiction as L M Krier and children's fiction as L M Kay.

      By day, Kate Pill is a World History teacher in an Australian secondary school. By night, she puts her pants on over her tights and becomes ... Betareader Woman!

      The two of us correspond via email over the many thousands of miles which separate us. It's sometimes a case of two nations divided by a common language. Kate's digital copies of my manuscripts always come back with a rash a colourful side-notes, querying various unfamiliar words and phrases.

      The peculiarities of rural French life being totally alien to Kate, her queries and comments on my Sell the Pig series give me some of my best laughs.

      But Kate is also fiercely fond of the main characters in my crime thrillers, DI Ted Darling and his partner Trevor, whom she calls her 'lovelies.' Any hint, as she reads, that any harm is about to befall either of them induces a torrent of abuse, sometimes by Messenger on Facebook, often accompanied by pictures of a cow stamping its foot in anger.

      It's become such a thing between us that I dedicated Book 7 in the DI Ted Darling series to her and her cows.

      I find our exchanges so amusing that I thought the readers might enjoy them, too. A little insight into the behind-the-scenes production process of the Sell the Pig and DI Ted Darling series. If you've read the books, I'm sure you'll find them as funny as I do.

      If you've not yet read them, perhaps these snippets might tempt you to take a peek.

      This is just a rather random collection of what I think/hope are some amusing bits. Think of it a bit like the out-takes of the Tottie Limejuice and L M Krier books – a companion edition.

      Because it's disjointed, I've tried to make it easier to follow by putting my linking comments in bold type, what I'd written in the books in a normal typeface, and the betareader comments in italics.

      I do hope you will be amused, and perhaps in future, when you're reading the books, you'll have a little chuckle now that you know what goes on behind the scenes.

      And the title? Well, fellow crime writer David Videcette unwisely challenged me to use it for something, and I do love a challenge!
