Houlihan's Wake free at Smashwords

Houlihan's Wake is now free at Smashwords: http://bit.ly/181pc0r
In Houlihan's Wake, a young Irishman goes to Playa Chisme, on the Pacific coast of Mexico, determined to die, and determined to do so in a beautiful setting. But can Houlihan’s death-wish do its worst in such a life-affirming place, where the lifeguards are adamant that nobody shall turn their massive party to celebrate a whole year without anyone drowning in Playa Chisme's lethal rip-tides into someone else’s pitiful wake?
Number One on the Books Set in Mexico Listopia.

Kidnapped on Google

I've started writing the third story in my Sean Linehan series. This time I'm sending him to Hong Kong, where, unfortunately, the poor man gets kidnapped by Maoists. This is in the future, I should add, when things are different. Never having been kidnapped myself, I sought advice from Mr Google, who sent me to Wikihow, who provided a great deal of advice on How To Survive An Abduction. http://www.wikihow.com/Survive-an-Abd...
Now Sean Linehan has a realistic fighting chance, and I thank Google for it.
