Of cute cats and piracy

New Review for WANTED

Wonderful new ★★★★★ review posted on Amazon: I really enjoyed reading this book. It had me hooked and wanting more. The storyline is gripping and the characters well developed. You are immediately drawn to the main character of the book, Flick Carter, and you will definitely be waiting to buy the next in the series.

The usual suspects…

Line-Up-1-adInitial praise for Socko’s First Day: ★★★★★ Socko Garrett is old enough for The Choosing, where all 15 year olds are taken on as apprentices at an annual fair. Nobody chooses him so he ends up in the watch – the police. He’s later discovered, headhunted we’d say these days, by the Kingsmen, the elite militia […]

Socko Paperbacks

Paperbacks have arrived from CreateSpace. Some of you will know I’ve been conducting a little face-off between CreateSpace and FeedARead. It has to be said, that so far, CreateSpace wins on all counts APART from printing and shipping of author copies (they come from the CS plant in North Carolina and consequently have very expensive […]
