The Hostile, book 1 of The Hostile series.

The Hostile (The Hostile, #1) by Joy Mutter 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.

Living with Postcards, my only non-fiction book

Living with Postcards by Joy Mutter Living with Postcards is a colour-illustrated, non-fiction book describing my close relationship with old postcards. I’ve collected them since the 1970s and now own over 2,000 of these charming, quirky, historical items. Living with Postcards is available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle editions. Every card in the book is from my own large collection. I gave a talk to Full Circle members at Oldham Coliseum about Living with Postcards in January 2017. Living with Postcards is a beautiful present from the past that anyone can enjoy.

“The author shares her impressive knowledge of vintage postcards in an entertaining and informative style. Brimming with lovely reproductions, it’s never dull. A book to read from cover to cover or to dip into. Certainly, a book to revisit. Living with Postcards makes an imaginative present, even to someone like me who has no particular interest in postcard collecting. I can thoroughly recommend it.”

The Hostile Game

The Hostile Game (The Hostile, #3) by Joy Mutter The Hostile Game, book 3 of The Hostile series, is a gripping contemporary paranormal crime thriller. It was published on Amazon in Kindle and paperback editions in April 2017.


The Hostile Game by Joy Mutter Like all the other books in the series, an audiobook version is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes and it can be enjoyed as a standalone. Book 4, Confronting The Hostile, was published in August 2017, swiftly followed by The Hostile Series Box Set.

In The Hostile Game, Manchester-based Serena, now eighteen and pregnant, finally discovers the reason why Tile X befriended her seven years before. She doesn’t like what she hears. Mayhem ensues, with a retired Irish police superintendent becoming more involved than perhaps he should have.

“Joy Mutter delivers another wonderfully offbeat paranormal thriller, mellowed with a delicious dark humour.” “An original premise, using original characters who you will quickly love and hate, and a clever twist at the conclusion.” “Delightfully different.” “A crazy, fascinating journey.”

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.
