Open House by Charlie Bray now free on Kindle

For the next few days you will be able to grab a copy of my eBook Open House, the first of a series of Cove Castle Comedies, absolutely free from Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk

Let me explain a bit about the story.

The Castle

Cove Castle, having survived for around 850 years is showing every sign of neglect.

Lengthy repairs and restoration are required, and the problem is the estate is broke. Serious revenue has to be created to satisfy the upkeep of both house and family. Most of the initiatives put in place are hilariously ill-fated. Activists occupy Cove Woods, where the annual shoot is essential to the estate’s survival. A dog show ends in disaster. A film crew, recording a ‘period drama’ in the grounds, films more than it bargains for. A bungling handyman causes more damage than he repairs, and members of the public, admitted for the first time ever, are in fear of their lives.

The Family

As if all this is not enough for Cove Castle to cope with, the lunatics start running the asylum.

An assassin stalks a hated member of the family and blows up his limousine. The in-laws try to seize control of the castle and the Marquess prepares to buy a Thai bride to provide an heir to the family line. He also starts to dispose of ‘the family silver’. Dodgy dealings are exposed and marijuana is discovered in the vegetable plot. Family and friends frolic naked in the moat, and ghosts go on the rampage.

All of this sound a little too much? What you’ve just read only scratches the surface.

Please give it a read. You’ll find it on our Members’ Books pages, or you can go direct to Amazon. You have until Sunday at midnight (British time). It would be great if you could then give it a review on Amazon for me.

Happy reading, Charlie
