The Inner Space Trilogy

As a recent arrival to Goodreads I thought it only fair that I should introduce myself and my books. I am the author of a trilogy of Murder Mystery stories set along the Thames Valley region here in England.
I can imagine that if Crime and Mystery is your favourite Genre then I can hear you questions; how is it possible for a new writer to come along and be different, after all there are just so many ways you can murder someone and just so many ways for the police hero to investigate and bring the bad guys to justice.
As an avid fan of the likes of Agatha Christie, Ruth Rendell, Colin Dexter, Arthur Conan Doyle, Etc the list seems endless. Yet year on year new talent comes along and surprises us and I hope that I hope can do that.
The series of stories comes under the banner of “INNER SPACE,” and unless you cannot guess where that may be it is the unexplored space of the human mind. You see I have long held a theory that long, long ago certain human beings possessed great mental powers including the ability to levitate and mentally leave their earthly body at will.
We have long since lost those powers or suppressed them so deep within our minds that we are powerless to retrieve them. But what if we could, What if the stories we read about ‘Out of Body’ or ‘Near Death’ experiences are really part of that lost ability resurfacing in moments of extreme crisis ? What if we could do it at will ?
These are not wild Supernatural flights of fancy, there are no dragons and wizards; in my stories I take ordinary everyday people and turn their world upside down, I challenge everything they once held to be real and true until I can open their minds to other possibilities.
Take my main character, police detective Inspector Nick Burton, he is no super hero, he’s no James Bond that’s for sure, in fact in the beginning you may find him a little dull and even he wouldn’t argue with you. In the midst of what we call a mid life crisis Nick is quietly floating through life. Forty five years of age, recently divorced from a loveless and childless marriage he now has little left in life except his job and that saddens him.
Until one day arriving back at his police station after a wasted day trip to Wales he discovers his immediate supervisor, Chief Superintendent Davis has been arrested for murder. Nick can’t or won’t accept this information and along with everyone else is convinced his boss has been framed.
The situation doesn’t get any better when Davis supposedly confesses to the crime but is later found dead in his police cell. Now Nick is convinced that something rotten is going on and is Hell bent on clearing his friend’s name.
So, I ask you the same question I ask of Nick Burton; “How well do you know your best friend ?”
If you are a Murder Mystery Fan have I whet your appetite to find out more ?
How about another little bonus.... If you have an E Reader you can download all three Inner Space Books for just £0.99 pence each. Now that has to be a bargain, that’s cheaper than a decent cup of coffee ! That and when you consider Colin Dexter’s last Inspector Morse book will set you back £5.50...
I can’t tell you I’m as good a story teller as he is, that’s up to you to tell me, however I could ask is he nearly six times better than I am ?
Surely it’s worth a pound to find out and at the same time answer the question you asked right at the beginning; “Can a new writer come along with something new ?” Three stories, same main characters I think I can keep you entertained and guessing to the end of each story !
