Carnie's Wisdom on Amazon NOW!
Available NOW on Amazon!
The Blurb: Carnie had been predicting the end of mankind for years; ridicule, humiliation and incarceration his only reward. Yet it had come, just as he knew it would. A martyr to his cause, at least he has his proudest possession, his book, to prove the value of his words. Now is his chance to get out there and put them into action.Lee, a young man caught off-guard by the apocalypse, survives by the skin of his teeth. In the frenzy of the initial chaos he witnesses a casually callous act; one that haunts him, providing a dark purpose to set his focus upon when all else around him is madness.
Two separate goals, two different journeys, two young men living on the same street, yet worlds apart. When those worlds collide, as they must, only one of them will remain standing. The question is, who will it be?Carnie's Wisdom on Amazon UKFabulous book cover by Viergacht on SelfPubBookCovers.com

Zoom Interview (Halloween)
I have a favour to ask of my lovely readers. There is a very special day coming up soon (I will keep that under wraps for now, but it promises to be good!) Would any of my readers be willing and able to pre-record an interview with me? It would only have to be for between 15 and 30 minutes, and would be on Zoom, as a pre-recorded interview. I know this is a big ask, but I think it could be great fun and a good way for us to get to know one another better. Unfortunately I can only pick one reader to do this, so please don't be offended if it's not you. There may well be more opportunities for this kind of thing in the future.
PM me if you think you would like to do this so we can have a chat and make some arrangements. Thanks again everyone, you know you are wonderful! (As for the 'Ask Me Anything gif, that's within reason, right?)
