I like the way you incorporate colour. And, as always, you wrote a gripping story.

Good to have a few guaranteed readers, if it ever happens!
I find colour really difficult, so like to work with it in a limited way, influenced by primitive printing (you see a lot of it on this very inspiring blog http://bibigreycat.blogspot.com/) when a limited range of colours were used or - even earlier - books which were printed then hand-coloured, again using just a few tones, like the 'twopence coloured' 19th century comics and toy theatres (http://tiny.cc/i8pqx) or William Blake's hand-coloured self-produced books (http://tiny.cc/WOIEf).
