Free thrills at the click of a mouse
There’s a wonderful opportunity to try out some new authors all of whom exist in the thriller space, so I thought I’d share the joy. The page of free books will be available the whole of May and you can expect more novels to be added as the weeks progress, so, feel free to pop back later as well as check it out now.
I’ve said it before and I’m pretty sure I’ll say it again: fill your boots.

Bloodstained Bride Just for You
I know I’ve been mentioning a few opportunities to grab yourself some reading matter, but here is another one: a single book from Rachel Woods, who specializes in thrillers with a tinge of steam around the edges. And there’s nothing wrong with that as far as I’m concerned. So if that floats your boat, I’d like to recommend you investigate The Bloodstained Bride and all she has to offer. You know it makes sense.

The Thrill ain’t gone
And an opportunity for those who like your novels containing a thrill or two. This collection of books is called Thrilling Reads and I’d say it lives up to its name. The free offer runs until May 15 so you should grab a copy or two while you can. Enjoy!
And Now for Something Completely Different
More opportunities to fill your boots with a bonanza bounty of books with Fancy Something Completely Different, which gives you a free taste of stories from all sorts of genres. So if you like tales that aren’t thrillers – or just fancy a change of pace – then this is for you.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: fill your boots.
Wicked Boots alert
For those who like their stories with some significant level of badness going on, I can recommend Wicked Storm for your delight. It contains a pile of books available on Kindle Unlimited which means they are at a major discount and runs until May 15. So get your skates on and fill your boots!

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables
Over the past couple of weeks, I have been working behind the scenes of the web site to reconstruct the back-end processing so that as my novels become more successful, I will be able to sell more than just eBooks on the site. Initially, I shall offer signed paperback copies and then I might move into other directions: along with the classic mug or bookmark options, I also like the idea of cufflinks. I wear them myself already and it makes me feel good to know I’m sporting highly unusual clothing accessories.
While I was under the head messing about with the tech, I decided to take the opportunity to alter the look-and-feel of the site too. I’ve taken away some of the brightness and replaced it with various shades of grey with a splash of purple. Why? I like the colour scheme (good start) and because my stories tend to be quite dark and I want the site to reflect what you get when you open one of my books.
No doubt I have made many mistakes and links will have broken etc but do let me know what you think of the new site.
Jumpin’ Jack: We’re Talkin’ Jive
My author friend Erik Carter has just released Talkin’ Jive, the latest book in his pulse-pounding Dale Conley Action Thrillers Series.And for a limited time, you can grab your copy for ONLY 99c – regular price: $4.99. All the books in the Dale Conley series can be read as stand-alone adventures, so new readers can jump right into the series with Talkin’ Jive.
AMERICA’S NUCLEAR WEAPONS CACHE IS UNDER ATTACK. AND NO ONE KNOWS WHO’S DOING THE ATTACKING.
In hindsight, Dale Conley should have known better. He was a fool to get on that plane. But it’s not every day you get an anonymous note begging for your help at a nuclear weapons facility. Dale stumbles into a dark web of confusion, one filled with Russian spies, a silver-tongued madman who thinks he’s a prophet, and the most destructive technology ever created. As Dale puts more of the clues together, it only pulls him further into the uncertainty.
With Cold War tension boiling around him and an attack on American soil imminent, will Dale be able to make sense of it all before it’s too late?
If you like fast-paced action, sinister conspiracies, and loads of humor, then you’ll love this page-turning series, perfect for readers of Lee Child and Dan Brown and for fans of Indiana Jones and James Bond movies.
On top of that, all books in the Dale Conley series are FREE to members of Kindle Unlimited. Here are some links for you to fill your boots with a copy of Talkin’ Jive:

A fabulous opportunity for you is available until the end of April. A bunch of writers – including myself – have got together to offer some free books to the great and the good: that means you.
I hope you find something of interest in the pile of mysteries and thrillers. And that includes my own novella The Stickup.
Fill your boots.

Can we trust Amazon reviews?
A recent article in The Guardian foregrounded some interesting also failures at Amazon reviews for major works have been merged, or bundled, with lower quality books.
For the record, this is a problem I can only imagine having as a problem. I am very happy if anyone is kind enough to write a review for one of my books. It helps me progress and grow as a writer, based on the feedback I am able to read and by encouraging others to read my novels and help me be a more successful writer.
Anyway, having a book title of the same name appears to have caused some confusion along the way. Sounds like an excellent reason for an author to have their own ISBN as well as using Amazon’s ASIN system.
