Big News

Thrilled to report the release of the audiobook edition of my paranormal crime thriller, Holiday for The Hostile, narrated by the highly talented Alexander Doddy. I couldn't be more pleased with his performance. He put his heart and soul into it. He even tackled the Irish and Scottish accents brilliantly when they cropped up in the story. Book 1, The Hostile, is already on Audible, Amazon and iTunes. As it was released before I'd heard of Alexander Doddy, I narrated it myself.

Holiday for The Hostile audiobook is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes, but if anyone wants an Audible promo code for it, private message me with your email address and I'll email one to you. If you leave a review of the audiobook, I'd be forever grateful as it obviously has no ratings or reviews yet because it's just been released.

Here is a link to the audiobook of Holiday for The Hostile on Audible.co.uk http://adbl.co/2sELKis, and on Audible.com http://adbl.co/2uhDMOd.

Alexander has also finished narrating Book 3, The Hostile Game. I finished listening to it today and he's done another fantastic job. I'm so glad I selected him as narrator. The Hostile Game audiobook should be available on the same sites as books 1 and 2 in a couple of weeks or so.

I'm currently writing Chapter 26 of Book 4, Confronting The Hostile. When it's finished and published in Kindle and paperback on Amazon, I'd also love Alexander to narrate the audiobook of Confronting The Hostile, if he's not too busy. With his talent, he's bound to be much in demand.

A Slice of the Seventies is the first book in the Mug trilogy. It tells the story of Jersey-born Mug, a troubled girl from a recently broken home. It covers her experiences as a teenager at the Isle of Wight Music Festival in 1970, the same year she follows a guru.

POTHOLES AND MAGIC CARPETS

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 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.”

THE HOSTILE SERIES

Step into the ‘refreshingly original’ world of The Hostile and lose yourself in a ‘bizarrely captivating’ read. Each book in The Hostile series of paranormal crime thrillers can be read as a standalone. The entire series could be yours for under £3.00 if you bought all three Kindle editions. This collection consists of The Hostile, Holiday for The Hostile, and The Hostile Game. I’m currently writing book four, Confronting The Hostile.

Book 1. THE HOSTILE. (published in 2016. 192 pages) http://amzn.to/2pAHALo
In a rundown area of Manchester, inside the bathroom of a terraced house overflowing with children and dysfunctional parents, a 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 people who earn 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.
Available on Amazon as a Kindle and paperback. The audiobook is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes.

Book 2. HOLIDAY FOR THE HOSTILE. (published in 2016. 208 pages) http://amzn.to/2fJTSg0
Serena, plus her unusual friend and partner in crime, Tile X, reluctantly find themselves suffering a family holiday at her eccentric grandfather’s hovel in Ireland. Who will manage to escape intact from their dramatic holiday from Hell?
Available on Amazon as a Kindle and paperback. The audiobook will be available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes at the beginning of July.

Book 3. THE HOSTILE GAME. (published in 2017. 179 pages) http://amzn.to/2oYlsqC
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.
Available on Amazon as a Kindle and paperback. The audiobook is in production.

Each of my ten Kindle editions on Amazon is £0.99 or equivalent currencies. They are always free to Kindle Unlimited subscribers. The paperback versions won’t break the bank either. If you enjoy audiobooks, two of my books, The Hostile, and Her demonic Angel, are also available as audiobooks on Amazon, Audible, and iTunes. You can find all my books here http://amzn.to/2r4yyTA.

The Hostile Game

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.

The Hostile Game, 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 and can be read as a standalone like the other books in this unusual series. I’m currently writing book four, Confronting The Hostile.

Readers tell me The Hostile Game is even better than the first two books, The Hostile, and Holiday for The Hostile. “Joy Mutter delivers another wonderfully offbeat, paranormal thriller, mellowed with a delicious dark humour.”

HOLIDAY FOR THE HOSTILE

Holiday for the Hostile, book 2 in The Hostile series, is a gripping contemporary paranormal crime thriller with a splash of horror. It was published on Amazon in Kindle and paperback editions in December 2016 and can be read as a standalone like the other books in the collection. The entire series can be purchased on Amazon for under £3.00 in Kindle format. It's worth so much more.

Serena, plus her unusual friend and partner in crime, Tile X, find themselves suffering a family holiday at her eccentric grandfather’s hovel in Ireland. Who will manage to escape intact from their dramatic holiday from Hell?

Readers tell me they think Holiday for The Hostile is even better than book 1, The Hostile, the paranormal thriller I published on Amazon 8 months before book 2. Book 3 of The Hostile series, The Hostile Game, was published on Amazon in April 2017 in paperback and Kindle editions. I’m currently writing book 4, Confronting The Hostile.

Here’s a snapshot of what a few of the readers say about Holiday for The Hostile: “Ms Mutter has carved out a new niche for herself. And from where I'm standing, she's way out in front … With some books, you get an idea where things are going and where they're likely to end. Not this one. 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. Joy tells a good tale.”

The Kindle of RANDOM BULLETS is FREE on Amazon today, 25th May until 27th May.

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; 23 5-star reviews across 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 this favourite book of mine is in production. Audiobook versions of two of my other books are already available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes.
