Yes, sorry for the delay in replying, still getting to grips with goodreads! I'll post the synopsis below.
The Gamer
A beachfront hotel in Florida. Five hundred people have been taken hostage. Many of them are world leaders and government officials, including The President of the United States.
A video gamer is working in the hotel. He learnt his skills playing first person shooters. Now he uses them in a situation where bullets kill.
The police are helpless. He is the only one who can alter the hostages’ fate. The terrorists’ hidden agenda is revealed. Harry takes the fight to the terrorists and attempts to bring down the world’s most wanted man.
FIVE HUNDRED HOSTAGES, SIXTY TERRORISTS,
ONE SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD GAMER!
Praise for The Gamer
‘The Inbetweeners meets Die Hard’.
‘I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through, I couldn’t stop reading.’
‘My heart was in my mouth as he crept around the hotel.’

Over twenty years ago when I was a young teenager I used to read special forces, namely the Special Air Service, stories and real life accounts. I used to imagine how I would fight back if terrorists struck. It then took me twenty years to link a video gamer doing the same and thinking it would make a pretty cool book!

Don't ever stop. If you love writing, keep doing it and your style will improve, better ideas will come to mind and once again, no matter how many rejections you get, DON'T EVER STOP!

A project under a different pen name, but be rest assured, the sequel to The Gamer is never far from my mind!
