Jan Turk Petrie's Blog: 'The Truth in a Lie' published, page 2

Working on a new novel

I'm now working on a new novel - my 7th - and one I'm very excited about.
It's going to be very different from anything else I've published and I'm really loving the challenge of it.
The plot came to me all at once and so far it's going really well.
Don't want to say too much else at this stage or I might jinx the whole project.

'The Truth in a Lie

I'm delighted to announce that I have finished my new novel - 'The Truth in a Lie'.

It is my 6th novel and the first to have a contemporary setting. I will be revealing more about the plot nearer the publication date in June/July (2020)

New book release

I'm delighted to announce that my latest novel 'Towards the Vanishing Point' is now available on Amazon and Kindle!! (Other platforms to follow.)

Set in England in 1938 - 1968, it is a little different to my other books - more of a literary novel.

Readers Favourite advanced review awarded it 5-stars "The language and happenings in the story reflect effectively what it would have been like to live during and post-World War II UK ... a moving novel"

Another RF reviewer concluded: "Overall, I found this book to be a remarkable piece of work."

'Towards the Vanishing Point'

My fifth novel - 'Towards the Vanishing Point' - is finally finished and I'm delighted to say will be published by Pintail Press early in 2020.
The story is set in the north of England and spans several decades beginning in 1938 with the threat of a second world war already in the air. It's a tense, psychological thriller exploring friendship, love, loyalty and the ultimate betrayal.

Working on my next novel

I'm currently working on my 5th novel with the working title 'Towards the Vanishing Point'. This story begins in the 1930s and will end in the late 1950s - which means lots of historical research is necessary. It's going well - I haven't yet decided between two possible endings. Hoping to finish the first draft before the end of next month.

New boxset

My Eldísvík Trilogy (Volumes 1-3) is now available in ebook form as a boxset on Amazon. With its new cover design, this option will appeal to readers who would rather read the whole story in one volume.

'Too Many Heroes' release date

Delighted to announce that my latest novel - 'Too Many Heroes' - a gripping post-war thriller, should become available in paperback in the next few days.

The ebook version of 'Too Many Heroes' is also available to pre-order on Amazon for release on 6th August. Like my other books, it will be free to read on Kindle Unlimited.

New thriller out soon

Delighted to say that I've finished the manuscript of my new stand-alone thriller and it is currently being edited.
It's a little different from the others - watch this space for the upcoming publication date!

The Eldísvík Trilogy

Delighted to announce that I've finished writing 'Within Each Other's Shadow' - the final volume of my Eldísvík trilogy. I'm excited because I think fans of the other two books are really going to love it.
Though I can't be specific about dates yet, rest assured the book is on track to be published this spring.

Volume 3 of my Eldísvík trilogy

I'm delighted to say volume 3 of my Eldísvík trilogy -
‘Within Each Other’s Shadow’ - is going well and it's just the best feeling in the world.
I'm currently around 60,000 words in and it's all happening!
The first draft should be finished in the next couple of weeks and then the hard work will really begin.
Still aiming to have it published and on sale this spring.
