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 who are all linked by blood or friendship. The negative, selfish, sometimes violent natures of several 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. It’s published on Amazon in paperback and Kindle editions.

“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.”

Free Kindle of Random Bullets 2nd-3rd August

The Kindle of Random Bullets is FREE on Amazon on 2nd and 3rd of August.

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? Set in Jersey, Cornwall, London, Manchester, and places not of this world, Random Bullets is a contemporary crime thriller with a paranormal twist.

'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.' 'Kinetic — really zips along at a pace. I was really drawn in.' These are just a few of the reviews Random Bullets has received; 24 5-star reviews on all Amazon sites so far. Your review would also be much appreciated.

I was interviewed in February 2016 by two BBC Radio 4 producers as part of their Analysis programme on Inheritance. They’d heard that Random Bullets deals with the divisive subject of disinheritance and its aftermath, something I’ve experienced personally. Published in November 2015, Random Bullets is available on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle editions. An audiobook edition of Random Bullets is in production. Audiobook versions of four of my other books are already available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes.

The Hostile. Book 1 of The Hostile series

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 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 Kindle and paperback in April 2017. I’m currently writing book 4, Confronting The Hostile.

Each of my ten Kindle editions is £0.99 or equivalent currencies on Amazon and is always free to Kindle Unlimited subscribers. The paperback versions won’t break the bank either. The Hostile, Holiday for The Hostile, The Hostile Game, and Her demonic Angel are available on Amazon, Audible, and iTunes as audiobooks.

The audiobook of The Hostile Game

The audiobook of THE HOSTILE GAME, narrated by Alexander Doddy is now only £3.47 on Audible and Amazon and £10.95 on iTunes. http://adbl.co/2v7xapB.

The Hostile Game, the third book in The Hostile series, is a gripping contemporary paranormal crime thriller. It was published on Amazon in Kindle and paperback editions in April 2017. The audiobook was published on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes in July 2017. It can be enjoyed as a standalone like the other books in this unusual series. I’m writing the second draft of book four, Confronting The Hostile.

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 been.

“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.”

Every chapter was a surprise with new characters and situations and a bunch of wonderfully inventive deaths.” “It has plenty of scary bits … can't wait until book three is out.” “The end is a total surprise. Was expecting a skeleton in the family closet, but it turns in a completely different direction, keeping you on your toes and guessing.” “Excellent. Really looking forward to more.

Free Kindle of Her demonic Angel from 7th-9th July

The Kindle of Her demonic Angel is FREE on Amazon today, 7th July until 9th July.

Her demonic Angel is my baker’s dozen of short stories. I wrote them in a variety of genres, so there should be something for everyone. Some tales are stranger than others, but all are different shades of dark. Despite its slightly suggestive title, Her demonic Angel is not erotica. To whet your appetite, here are the titles of some of my short stories: Mirror, mirror; The boy they called Dragon; The day nobody gave a damn; An email from Jane; Stuff; Getting rid of the enemy; Skin; Too beautiful; Philately will get you nowhere; In memoriam.
