 Round, like a circle in a spiral, Like a wheel within a wheel… “Joyce took the Walther from her holster, grabbed him by the neck and pushed the barrel of the gun against his temple. “Wake up,” she said, trying to contain her anger, and then raised her voice. “Wake up, you bastard.” Joyce Carrington, 009, has spent her life taking the blame for things she could not control: her parents’ deaths, the failed assignments, the bad liquor… the worse men. And now, the world spinning into terror… A mission inside a mission… A riddle inside an enigma… Circles into ripples into shockwaves into… What she thought she knew about the 00 section… What you thought you knew about the 00 section… …knocked Off Balance. Discuss the new Joyce Carrington 009 novel by Fenna Geelhoed. Prepare to be amazed.    Somewhere early morning in a hotel room there’s a guy starting to realise that eternal fate has turned its back on him. It’s 2 a.m. |

Ooh! It's here!
I would just like to take a moment to thank Jim and especially Mr.* - who worked very hard to get this novel up in perfect shape.  Thank you so much.

Congrats Joyce.
Easily the finest work I've read as of late. And as one of the fellow "Wankers" in your acknowledgements, I have to say: Thanks Luv.   "When it comes to Bond, You've gotta do it" Blessed to be relatively handsome. "Hey, I'm just a Bond fan." Bryce (003) - Living Bond so you don't have to. |

About a year ago, Joyce Carrington asked me to help edit her work, and I was absolutely amazed that she asked me. After all, what I saw that day didn't need any editing.
Since that day, she has continued to send me chapters, and I have continued to be amazed and impressed by the depth of her skill. What she has created in Off Balance would make Ian Fleming sit up and take notice. Congratulations Joyce. In the next few weeks you are going to get a lot praise for this work, and you have earned every word. -- Xenobia President, Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Roger Moore

Thanks for the congrats everyone! I really hope you enjoy reading this. Yes, I know it's a bit long...
 Athena, printing it out? Seriously?   The next part of the trilogy can only get better if you give me your opinions - positive and negative - so please, post them here or let me know at joycecarrington@hotmail.com. Bryce, no thanks needed. It's just simply the truth. M_Balje: Nee helaas, ik heb het alleen in het Engels geschreven. Misschien dat er ooit nog een vertaling komt in het Nederlands... maar ik zou er niet op gaan wachten. Sorry. Tarl... Thanks everyone. Spoiler-free for QoS “You forget, James, I’m a woman.
