I've just found out about this new release. Sheer Fear by Geoffrey David West, is the third book in the Jack Lockwood mystery series.

About the book:

What happens when your brother is framed for murder, then dies himself?

Just before he dies, David Hart tells his half brother Jack about the conspiracy to protect a famous public figure from allegations of historic child abuse by killing the accusers and framing him for the murders.

How can Jack find justice for his brother and avoid being killed himself? Simultaneously Jack has an unknown enemy who is playing vicious tricks on him, each one deadlier than the last.

Having read the first two books in this series, I'm very excited about this one and have started reading it today!

You can get your copy on Amazon worldwide:

Amazon US: http://www.amazon.com/Sheer-Fear-Jack...

Amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sheer-Fear-Ja...

If you're a fan of crime fiction/mysteries, you should definitely check out this series. The author has a talent for suspense and creating realistic characters. His books are compulsive reads. I am very glad to have discovered his writing.

The first book in the series is Rock 'n' Roll Suicide.





Action packed thriller/mystery filled with murders and twists. Whilst researching the suicide of rock queen Maggi O’Kane in 1980, ex-criminal profiler Dr Jack Lockwood discovers evidence suggesting that she and her band were murdered to suppress facts she found out about John Lennon’s assassination. First of a series of Jack Lockwood mysteries.

Buy the book:

Amazon US: http://www.amazon.com/RocknRoll-Suici...

Amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/RocknRoll-Sui...

The second book is Doppelganger.



What happens if you fall in love with a killer? Jack Lockwood, psychologist/criminal profiler and writer falls in love with Lucy Green, whom he later has reason to believe may be the child-killer, Megan Foster. Megan was held in custody aged eight, in 1982, and released ten years later with a new identity. Simultaneously, Jack is being targeted by a gangster who does not want him to write his (unauthorised) biography. What’s more there’s a serial killer on the loose in historic Canterbury, someone christened called ‘the Bible Killer’, who targets women and kills them in a particularly gruesome manner. Is Lucy the Bible Killer? Jack has to find out, but the answers are far from simple...

August 9th is National Book Lovers Day.

To celebrate, I've picked 10 of my favourite books (by independent authors). I hope you will read at least one of them. If you do, and if you like the book/s, please think about leaving a review on Goodreads or Amazon, or anywhere else. Reviews help authors. Without authors there would be no books and there would be no National Book Lovers Day.

So, for all you bibliophiles out there, here are some suggested reads.

1. Darcia Helle's - Eli's Coming



I could have picked any one of Darcia Helle's books. She's a very talented author and I'd recommend all her books. Eli's Coming is her latest novel. It's a supernatural thriller with elements of dark fantasy and suspense, full of thrills, humour, and believable characters.

2. The Guardian's Apprentice, by J. Michael Radcliffe.



I'm a big fan of J. Michael Radcliffe's books. He is a brilliant fantasy author. If you like dark fantasy, with dragons, other worlds, magic, etc. I'd highly recommend any of his books.

3. Living the Dream, by Tim Baker



I've read a few of Tim Baker's books and have enjoyed them all. He is a talented writer whose books are skillfully written, full of suspense, adventure, and humour. He's one of my favourite authors and I always know that when I pick up a Tim Baker book I'm going to enjoy it.

4. Weird: A Henry Ian Darling Oddity Missive One, by Julie Elizabeth Powell



As with all the authors I've mentioned so far, I could have chosen any one of Julie Elizabeth Powell's books to recommend. She's a prolific writer who has a boundless imagination and always surprises me with her books. She's very inventive and creative with her writing, experimenting with all sorts of genres. "Weird" is her latest series of books, which is excellent.

5. Odin's Eye, by Maria Haskins



If you're a science fiction fan you'll love Maria Haskins' short story collection. Maria is a very talented author. She also writes poetry. With Maria's writing, I can always tell how much effort has gone into making sure every sentence says exactly the right thing, and her writing evokes imagery and emotion. It's a joy to read.

6. Nocturnal Embers, by Helle Gade



If you like poetry, you'll love Helle Gade's books. Her poetry is from the heart and full of passion. I'd recommend any one of her collections of poetry.


7. You Wish..., by Terry Tyler



Terry Tyler is another one of those talented authors who always produces quality fiction. Whenever I pick up one of her books, I know that I'll get lost in the story. "You Wish" was the first one of her books that I read and it made me a fan.

8. Crooked Moon, by Lisette Brodey



Again, I could have picked any one of Lisette Brodey's books. She is another author who likes to experiment with different styles and genres. I've enjoyed all of her books. "Crooked Moon" is a favourite of mine.

9. What Tim Knows, and other stories, by Wendy Janes



I recently discovered this author's writing and am glad I did. She writes beautifully, and this short story collection is full of realistic characters and true-to-life tales that will make you think.

10. Rock'n'Roll Suicide, By Geoffrey D. West



A great crime thriller. This book is the first in a series, and I would highly recommend the whole series. Geoffrey West also writes great short stories.
