THE HOSTILE - Book 1 of The Hostile quartet

In a rundown area of Manchester, inside the bathroom of a terraced house overflowing with children and dysfunctional parents, a small but powerful entity befriends young Serena with disastrous results. This unlikely enigmatic force not only dramatically affects introverted Serena’s life but also threatens the well-being of everyone she knows, especially those who've earned the strange girl’s displeasure. It soon becomes clear that nobody should ever upset Serena … if they know what’s good for them. After reading The Hostile, you’ll never look at D.I.Y. in the same way again.

The Hostile is a “refreshingly original” contemporary paranormal crime thriller. “A bizarrely captivating” read. It’s book 1 of The Hostile series. Each book in the 4-book series can be read as a standalone. Book 2, Holiday for The Hostile, was published in December 2016. Book 3 in this unusual series, The Hostile Game, was published on Amazon in April 2017. Book 4, Confronting The Hostile, was published in August 2017, swiftly followed by The Hostile Series Box Set.

Potholes and Magic Carpets kindle is only £0.99

Potholes and Magic Carpets is a contemporary character-driven novel. It looks at the dramatic incidents, challenges, and temptations in the lives of four couples of varying ages, professions and sexual persuasions, all linked by blood or friendship. The negative, selfish, sometimes violent natures of some characters in the book wreak havoc on the innocent. A tale of not so simple folk. The page-turning action in Potholes and Magic Carpets takes place in rural Kent and London.

Potholes and Magic Carpets is available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle editions (277 pages). The audiobook version, narrated by Tracey Norman, is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes.

“I absolutely love Ms. Mutter’s writing style. Her descriptions are captivating to me, as a lifelong fan of all things British, I enjoy her humour and the clarity with which she delivers her characters. I feel like I know them well by the time I’m well into each chapter. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talents.” “I sometimes find that when books have too many characters I don’t always care about them. It didn’t happen with this book. I really wanted to know more about every one of them.” “If you like complex characters and a strong story, you'll like this book.”

Random Bullets is FREE from 13th-14th November

To celebrate my audiobook of Random Bullets, narrated by Alexander Doddy, going live on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes, the Kindle is FREE on Amazon from 13th-14th November.

After shooting and killing his nephew, a gunman runs amok in a London park. What drives Edward to commit such atrocities? Who will survive yet another of his moments of madness?

'Action-packed, thought-provoking, a real ride. I couldn't put it down,' 'crime with a twist,' 'An insightful look behind the many faces we wear, and how burning resentments can take you into madness and murder,' 'This is a very well thought out book.'
