My author interview is on Whispering Stories blog today

Delighted to read Whispering Stories interview with me on their blog today. They did a great job and it looks even better than I'd hoped. Although all of my eight books are mentioned in the interview, the main book featured was my latest book, a paranormal thriller called The Hostile, available in Kindle, paperback and audiobook editions on Amazon. I'm currently writing the sequel.

A lovely surprise from another author

There was a wonderful surprise waiting for me when I looked at my Twitter notifications today. The first thing I noticed was that celebrated author, Colin Garrow, has generously made a snazzy banner advert for my 2016 paranormal thriller, The Hostile. He posted it on Twitter and I'll be using it in future promotions. I’ll be smiling all day. Thank you, Colin.

The Hostile


I also noticed that The Hostile has received another 5-star review on Amazon, not from Colin I hasten to add. Thank you to whoever left the latest encouraging review. The Hostile is still lagging slightly behind Random Bullets as far as the number of ratings on Amazon goes, but Random Bullets was published five months before The Hostile. Reviews and ratings act as fuel for an author’s engine. Without reviews, whether they be 2-star or 5-star, we’d be working in a vacuum, without the positive criticism that enables writing skills to improve. I know that I’ve listened to the criticism from anyone kind enough to offer it. Whenever I agree with their analysis, I’ve changed elements of my style.

I’d been wondering which of my books to promote on social media today. It’s a daily dilemma with eight books to promote, but one I enjoy. I think I have my answer. Here is the link to The Hostile kindle edition on Amazon http://amzn.to/2c1OIIc. It is also available in paperback on there and also as an audiobook on Audible, Amazon and iTunes.

The Kindle edition of Living with Postcards is FREE on Amazon today!

The Kindle edition of LIVING WITH POSTCARDS is FREE on Amazon today, 28th August. A paperback version is also available.

Living with Postcards is a colour-illustrated non-fiction book that describes my close relationship with old postcards, mostly pre-1924. I’ve collected them since the 1970s and now own over 2,000 of these charming, quirky historic items. A beautiful present from the past.

I started enthusiastically collecting postcards whilst writing my main thesis on Fantasy in Postcards at Art College whilst studying for my graphic design degree. My thesis won me a first with distinction, whereas my graphic art annoyingly gained me only a 2:2. My art history tutor suggested I lecture on the subject of fantasy in postcards. As I was only twenty-one at the time, I didn’t feel ready to become a lecturer and declined his kind offer. I decided to write this book instead. All of the cards in Living with Postcards are from my own large collection.

Drive-by promo from yours truly

I thought I'd pop in to remind everyone that all of my Kindle editions are still only £0.99 or equivalent currencies on Amazon. My paperbacks are also extremely competitively priced to encourage people to read them. People enjoying my books is more important to me than making money.

If you want a personal recommendation, I consider my paranormal crime thriller, Random Bullets, to be my best book out of the eight I've published.

Random Bullets

Thank you and goodnight.

Thank you so much for leaving me a message, Barbara. I think you’re the first non-spamming person to do so. The agapanthus were near Gorey Castle in Jersey where I was born. I was visiting my mother at the time and my daughter took the photograph. Agapanthus are very popular on the island.

I’m impressed with all the books you’ve written and just wanted to be the first one to leave you a comment. I do like your agapanthus!

Random Bullets

The Kindle edition of Random Bullets, my 2015 paranormal crime thriller, is only £0.99 or equivalent currency and £5.95 for the paperback.

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 and Manchester.

If I tell you that I was disinherited by my crazy father, you might understand why I feel a degree of sympathy for Edward. I was interviewed in February 2016 by two BBC Radio 4 producers as part of their Analysis programme on the subject of Inheritance. They’d heard that my book, Random Bullets, deals with the subject of disinheritance and its aftermath.

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.

"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," "Kinetic... really zips along at a pace, I was really drawn in" are just a few of the reader reviews that Random Bullets has received. All the ratings for Random Bullets have been 5-star so far. Your review would also be much appreciated. I’d love to hear what you think of Random Bullets, a book that means so much to me.

The Kindle edition of Potholes and Magic Carpets is FREE today.

The Kindle edition of Potholes and Magic Carpets is FREE for today only on Amazon.

I published Potholes and Magic Carpets on Amazon last summer in both Kindle and paperback. The main action takes place in rural Kent and London. My contemporary, character-led novel looks at the dramatic incidents, challenges and temptations in the lives of four couples of varying ages, professions and sexual persuasions, all linked by either blood or friendship. The negative, selfish, sometimes violent natures of some of the characters in Potholes and Magic Carpets wreak havoc on the innocent. A tale of not so simple folk.

Potholes and Magic Carpets

The Kindle edition of THE HOSTILE is FREE today only.

The Kindle edition of my contemporary 2016 paranormal thriller THE HOSTILE is FREE on Amazon today, 20th August.

The Hostile

In a rundown area of Manchester, inside a bathroom in a small terraced house overflowing with children and dysfunctional parents, an unfathomable, powerful entity befriends young Serena with disastrous effect. The enigmatic force not only dramatically affects introverted Serena’s life, but threatens the well-being of everyone she knows, especially those people who for some reason have 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.

I am currently writing the gripping sequel to The Hostile. I’d love to hear what you think of it and my other seven books. All Kindle editions of my eight books are only £0.99 or its equivalent currency on Amazon and are free to Kindle Unlimited subscribers. The paperback versions certainly won’t break the bank either. I keep my prices low to encourage people to read my work. Just because the Kindles and paperbacks are low in price doesn’t mean they are poor quality. My reviews and ratings show the true worth of my books.

My own Olympic medalists

Sticking with the Olympics theme, Random Bullets is my current Gold medal holder in the fiction event. The Silver medal goes to The Hostile, closely followed by Bronze medalist Potholes and Magic Carpets.

Find them all here for £0.99 for the Kindle editions and low prices for all of my 8 paperbacks. If you're feeling adventurous, try one of my 2 audiobooks, The Hostile and Her demonic Angel. http://amzn.to/2b96qaj. Happy reading!
