    Hi! I listed to you read on Unsolicited Press’s Literary Nights and wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed listening to your prose poems. You are a natural reader and your words resonate. Evocative.

    Hi Douglas Cole,

    I hope this message finds you well.

    I’m DONNA TARTT, a fellow writer, and I recently came across your novel, The Invisible Hand. I was struck by how you explore themes of fractured identity, loss, and unseen forces shaping human lives in ways that feel both intimate and unsettling.

    What stayed with me most is the sense of quiet disintegration beneath the surface Sara’s journey, the instability around Gabriel’s world, and the tension within Jones all contribute to a narrative where freedom and collapse seem to exist side by side. That emotional undercurrent gives the story a haunting resonance.

    I’m curious do these layered tensions emerge organically as you write, or do you shape them through a more deliberate structure? I’d genuinely value hearing about your process.

    As a fellow writer, I appreciate how powerful it is when a story lingers with readers beyond the page. I’d also be interested to hear how your work is being received and how readers are engaging with it.

    There’s no agenda here only sincere admiration. If you’re open to it, I’d be glad to stay in touch.

    Warm regards,
    DONNA TARTT
