After shooting and killing his nephew, a gunman runs wild in a London park. What drives Edward to commit such heinous acts? Who will survive yet another of his moments of madness? Set in 2015, Random Bullets is a thriller with a fantasy twist.
Random Bullets is still my personal favourite out of all of my eight books. If you know my history, you can guess why. For those who do not like e-books, Random Bullets is also available on Amazon to buy as a paperback edition. Once I have finished the audiobook version of The Hostile, I intend to produce an audiobook of Random Bullets, also narrated by me. Her demonic Angel is already available on Audible and Amazon,
I hope that you take advantage of the free kindle edition of Random Bullets. I would really love to know what you think of it.

My latest book, The Hostile was published yesterday on Amazon
My eighth book, a contemporary thriller called The Hostile, was published on Amazon yesterday in both paperback and Kindle editions. I am a couple of weeks away from publishing the audiobook edition, narrated by me, on Audible, Amazon and iTunes. It is my second audiobook, Her demonic Angel was my first. I intend turning more of my books into audio versions and will probably make Random Bullets into an audiobook next, as well as writing book nine. I am toying with writing a sequel to The Hostile.The Hostile

Hi there! Thank you for your wonderful comments. I really appreciate them. I believe my host is called TSO Host. I set the whole site up myself and it is the first website I have ever attempted to create. I used to be a graphic designer for 20 years, so maybe that helped. I am pleased with the speed of the site and have never had any problems with it. Thank you for your interest. Maybe you might even read one or two of my books one day haha!
Kind regards,
Joy Mutter

My audio book of Her demonic Angel went live on Amazon today!
I am so excited to have just received an email from ACX telling me that my AUDIO BOOK edition of 'Her demonic Angel' has just gone live on Amazon and will soon also be available on iTunes! It's free if you're an Audible member apparently. I don't know yet what the iTunes price will be.
I narrated the whole book myself and also produced the cover. My thirteen short stories are written in different genres. 'Her demonic Angel' is also available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle editions. http://amzn.to/1qt3b5e
I am thrilled that producing the audio book unexpectedly all went through without a hitch because it is my first venture into making an audio book from scratch. If you ever buy one, I'd really love to know what you think about it. A review would be very much appreciated.
I definitely will be producing more of my own audio books in future, whether anyone buys a copy of 'Her demonic Angel' audio book or not. It has been a ton of hard work but well worth the effort because now I can read you all a bedtime story!

Her demonic Angel and other short stories
It has been another busy and exciting week because I have just published 'Her demonic Angel' on Amazon in paperback and Kindle editions. It is a collection of all of my short stories written thus far and is a mixture of genres. Despite the title, the book is not erotica but could be said to be on the dark side. Some tales are as strange as you might expect them to be, coming from me.
I am also working hard on completing book eight. At present the title will be 'Hostile' although I might change it slightly. It is another contemporary thriller with a fantasy twist but it is very different to 'Random Bullets'. The first draft of 'Hostile' is almost completed and I already have a cover designed. As I have a very good idea what book nine will consist of, 2016 is fairly well mapped out for me.
February also included my interview on BBC Radio 4's 'Analysis' programme on the subject of Inheritance. Much to my surprise, David Cameron and Toby Young, amongst others, were also on the programme, which is available for download on the 'Analysis' website. The producers wanted me to talk about what it feels like to have been disinherited because my father disinherited me in 2002. Disinheritance crops up in my autobiographical 'Mug Trilogy' and also in my fictional 'Random Bullets.'

Her demonic Angel and other short stories
My seventh book, 'Her demonic Angel' went live as a Kindle book on Amazon today. It will also be available in paperback in a few days once I receive the printed proof copy on Wednesday. It is a collection of all of my short stories written thus far. The stories have been written in a variety of genres so hopefully there should be something for everyone. Some tales are stranger than others, but all could be said to be different shades of dark. Despite its somewhat suggestive title, Her demonic Angel is not erotic fiction. I would love to know what you think of it.
I can now concentrate on finishing my eighth book, a contemporary thriller called 'Hostile' which I also hope to publish in 2016.

Yesterday's BBC Radio 4 interview
I was interviewed at my home yesterday for BBC Radio 4's Analysis programme by a lovely, blue-haired lady journalist called Jo Fidgen. Our conversation was recorded by another journalist called Joe Kent. They travelled all the way from London to Oldham in order to interview me in my living room. I think I gave them what they needed for the show. Jo is in the process of making a programme on the subject of inheritance which is scheduled to be broadcast on 22.2.2016 at 20.30 and repeated on 28.2.2016 at 21.30. They wanted to interview me because I have had personal experience of being disinherited. I have written about this emotive subject and many others in my autobiography The Mug Trilogy. Disinheritance is also a strong theme in my contemporary fictional thriller Random Bullets. All six of my books are available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle editions.

My forthcoming Radio 4 interview
I am looking forward to my BBC Radio 4 interview that is scheduled to take place this Wednesday. Two BBC journalists are travelling from London to my home in Oldham to interview me on the subject of disinheritance. Having been disinherited by my father who was also disinherited by his father, it is a subject that I know a fair bit about. It crops up in four of my six books, namely my autobiography The Mug Trilogy and my latest thriller Random Bullets. Wish me luck for Wednesday!

Happy 2016 to one and all!
1.1.2016
2015 was one of my best years on earth due to the fact that I rather surprised myself. A year ago today, I could never have guessed that I would have self-published six books in both Kindle and paperback format. I may have mentioned this before about a million times but I am still in shock!
I wrote two of the books from scratch in 2015, but the other four had been written over the past ten years. I decided not to mess around wasting any more time waiting to be discovered by a literary agent but opted instead to become my own publisher through Createspace and Kindle Direct Publishing. It was an uplifting experience and I recommend it to any writer. Before you ask, no, I do not have any shares in Amazon.
It is now a month since all of my books were self-published on Amazon. Although my book sales could have been better, I have received several four and five star reviews for each book from the people who took a leap of faith and bought one or all of my books. I have posted their wonderful reviews onto my website to encourage me further in my endeavours. Living with Postcards, my non-fiction book has sold the best out of the six, with Random Bullets also doing well, followed by Potholes and Magic Carpets, then A Slice of the Seventies. When readers have finished reading my autobiographical A Slice of the Seventies, as it is the first book in The Mug Trilogy they hopefully might consider buying the other two books, The Lying Scotsman and then Straws. I live in hope.
My plan for 2016 is to continue my disciplined but enjoyable regime of writing from 11am to 6pm each day including weekends. In the first half of 2016, I will hopefully finish writing and then publish my contemporary erotic thriller fantasy called Hostile. This will be followed by me publishing my almost completed collection of short stories. I am thinking of calling this short story collection, each written in different genres, Joy’s Shorts, but I might reconsider.
During the past few months, I have been somewhat reluctantly marketing all of my books more than I thought I would. However, I need to try even harder to spread the word about my books because the competition is so great. At least I now have my 500 printed colour postcards advertising all of my books to hand out to anyone that I meet who asks me about my books. I am also going to order new printed postcards solely for my non-fiction Living with Postcards paperback book. As it is a totally different type of book to my five fiction books, it needs different marketing and targeting. I must aim it towards anyone that is interested in looking at or collectiong old postcards, those interested in nostalgia, ephemera, history and beautiful objects in general.
If 2016 is as exciting and emotionally rewarding as 2015 has been then I will feel as happy and enthused as I am feeling today. I must resolve to try to make 2016 just as emotionally rewarding. However, I need to be realistic and also try to make it more financially rewarding by marketing better. That will be easier said than done because the skill in marketing books is very different to the skill in writing them. Having written, designed and produced the interior and covers and published all of the books myself, at least there are no costs for me to recoup.
My motivation to write more books has never been higher, so I am entering 2016 bubbling over with hope and enthusiasm. I even have an interesting idea for another thriller to write after Hostile and Joy’s Shorts are published, but more of that later.
Happy New Year to one and all!
