Hello fellow readers. My name is Gillian Godden and i write Gangland crime books. currently published by Boldwood Publishers. i have written many different series on the subject, so if this is your genre please check them out. originally born in London, i now live in Yorkshire. i also work for the NHS.
When I come home I like to wind down and writing is my escape from the mental stresses of my day. My job is not a 9 to 5 job and I work to support my patients when they need me so my days can be long. i enjoy hearing from and meeting readers of my books. just knowing someone out there is reading my books is a bonus ;}
Take a look at my websites and hopefully join my author page for updates on forth coming books.

Hi
May I interest you in my latest thriller/suspense novel, RUNNING FLUSH!

Running Flush is set on the beautiful Italian island of Tremiti but the island holds dark secrets. It is the headquarters of a sinister underworld criminal organization dealing in money laundering and trafficking of human body parts.
The stakes are high........ Winner takes all! The prize is SURVIVAL!

happy reading
Jack Lench
