All my books free again!

by | Apr 9, 2020

Following up on last week’s post, as my very small contribution towards distraction if you are climbing the walls in lockdown, the ebook versions of all my books are now free for a period of two days, 9-10 April. The link to an alternative source for a download of Irrefutable Evidence in last week’s post no longer works since I’ve put Irrefutable Evidence back on Kindle Unlimited. 

Please also note that outside the free offer, all the ebook versions of my books have been reduced in price £0.99/ €0.99/ US$0.99

Although it’s not in the image above, there is also on Amazon a virtual box set version of the Rare Traits Trilogy that is included in the free offer – all three Traits books in one download. Just type in The Rare Traits Trilogy Box Set in the Amazon search bar.

 

Enjoy!!

All my books Free!

by | Apr 2, 2020

Do you like the new bookmark? Got it printed in bulk from the great Bangkok online printer gogoprint.co.th

I’m using it to announce that I’d like to help in a very small way in the present terrible crisis.

We all have more time on our hands than we are used to and so if you are passing it reading more books, making my books available free or at very low cost to you is one way to feed your new habit! These are not times to be thinking about profit; too many people are suffering.

So what’s the deal? 

As of midnight Pacific Coast Time on 2 April (8 am 2 April in London etc), the ebook versions of six of my titles will be free on Amazon for a period of 72 hours. This will be repeated at the same time next week for a period of 48 hours starting 9 April. (Under the KU deal, I can offer an ebook free for a total of 5 days every 90)

Outside of those times, the ebook versions of all seven books have now been discounted to 99 cents/pence etc, which is as low as Amazon will let me go.

Why isn’t the seventh book included in the free offer? It is, but in a different way. At present, Irrefutable Evidence is not on KU and therefore I can offer it free for as long as I choose, which I am doing through Book Funnel. If you go to this link, https://dl.bookfunnel.com/x6h9cdzwzk click on the red button and follow the instructions, you will get your free copy of Irrefutable Evidence on whatever device you like. (There are no strings attached here – I am not given your email address and you are not being asked to join a mailing list).

What are you waiting for? Go to your Amazon site now, enter one of my titles and download your free copy. Then repeat for all the others. Once you have augmented your library, sit back, relax and Enjoy!!

Here’s the blurb on the back of the new book mark giving a summary of the books. For more details on each one, click on ‘My Books’ in the menu above.

Goccia!

by | Jan 24, 2020

I suppose if you write a thriller starring a cute pug called Goccia (that’s Got/cha) and call it The Assassin’s Dog, and you have a creative sister who likes to set you challenges, it’s inevitable that along will come an amazing cut-out model of a pug!

This cute little lady involved 13 sheets of A4 card printed with around 60 shapes to be cut out, scored, folded and glued, numbered edge to numbered edge. And there were about 250 numbered edges…

Estimated time for construction written on the box: 12 hours, and they weren’t far wrong. But hey, she was worth it.

Thank you sister Jill and thank you flamingopaperie.co.uk for an amazing product.

The Assassin’s Dog

by | Nov 30, 2019

After several months of procrastination, I have finally released the latest story in the Cotton & Silk Thrillers: The Assassin’s Dog, an edge-of-the-seat thriller that along with all the usual suspect also features a new character: the delightful pug dog Goccia.

Although it continues where ‘Remorseless’ left off, The Assassin’s Dog can also read read as a stand-alone story since there is enough information in the text to bring a new reader up to speed with Jennifer, Henry, Derek et al.

So if you are new to the Cotton & Silk Thrillers, it’s not a problem to read this one first and then pick up the others.

Ebook and paperback versions are available now from Amazon. If you shy away from Amazon for whatever reason, the paperback should also be available by ordering through bookshops in many places. Paperback versions are also available at very competitive prices through the excellent hive.co.uk (with free UK delivery), and through wordery.com (with free worldwide delivery).

Here’s what The Assassin’s Dog is all about:

 

Cosimo Graziano Rosselli. Mafia assassin, a man who prides himself on his humanity — his victims feel nothing as they die; they simply cease to exist.

Goccia (pron: ’got:cha): Cosimo Graziano Rosselli’s beloved pug. Totally obedient and too cute to ignore, she accompanies the assassin everywhere on his contract killings.

When newly promoted Detective Sergeant Jennifer Cotton’s close friend Detective Superintendent Trisha McVie disappears in mysterious circumstances, a huge search throughout the UK’s East Midlands proves fruitless and frustrating.

Little does Jennifer realise that the person behind her friend’s disappearance is far closer to home than she imagines.

Little does she realise that an elderly man she sees sitting with his placid pug dog in a pub in central Nottingham is the enigmatic assassin Cosimo Graziano Rosselli.

Little does she realise that Cosimo Graziano Rosselli is planning how and when to kill her …

“It will be instant, amore. One moment she will be alive, the next her soul will be on its way to heaven while her body crumples to a lifeless shell.”

When you’ve finished it — which will be tomorrow since once you’ve started it you won’t be able to put it down — please remember to post a review on either Amazon or Goodreads, or both! Enjoy!

Rare Traits Trilogy Box Set … and More!

by | Aug 5, 2018

Hi there,

I thought it was time to bring you up to date with the latest news about my books.

Firstly, for the three people left in the world who haven’t yet read any or all of the Rare Traits Trilogy (OK, I accept there might be one or two more than that), I have recently used the wonderful Vellum software to create an ebook box set. Yes, all three books in the trilogy are now available as one ebook download. You can find it exclusively on Amazon by typing ‘The Rare Traits Trilogy’ into the search bar on your Amazon site. Moreover, since it’s also on Kindle Unlimited, if you happen to be a subscriber, then you can download it for free. Otherwise, the price is hardly bank-breaking: £4.99; $6.55 or about €5.99 – it depends on exchange rates — bargain of the year!

The second big piece of news is that my new book, ‘An Imperfect Revenge’, is almost ready and I am planning to publish it by the end of this month. There’s quite a bit of work still to do yet, but I’m confident I’ll get there.

I now have a draft design for the cover, but I’m not going to release it yet, largely because the draft is covered in Shutterstock watermarks. That will all change very soon, so I’m hoping that in a week or two, I’ll be able to give you a preview of the cover and the back blurb synopsis.

However, I know you’d like some idea of what it’s all about, so, as a preview to the preview, here we go. The book is set entirely in Tuscany with the time frame split almost exactly between the 1890s and the present day. The ‘Imperfect Revenge’ of the title refers to an overbearing aristocratic Italian artist, Salvatore Brocanti, who swears revenge on his unfaithful wife Isabella, the nature of the revenge on both wife and her lover being pretty horrific and centring around the massive villa and estate that is the family home. However, it all goes rather wrong and, owing to the nature of what the artist sets up, there are huge consequences in the present day for several people who break into the long-abandoned villa …
