New release cover and title - help me choose and win a signed copy!
Ger Mayes is about to be released after 9 years in prison for his crimes and he wants to make the right impression, which is where you can help.
I have a selection of draft covers A, B, C, D below and a shortlist of titles. Please let me know which one grabs you by writing in the comments section below or email me. A winner will be chosen randomly from the most popular choice of cover & title (using the eeny meeny method) and sent a signed paperback copy (or e-book if preferred) when released.
Working title is Getting Out of Dodge but here are the options under consideration and the blurb follows:
Getting Out of DodgeTie a Yellow RibbonSomebody That I Used to KnowGFE Girlfriend ExperienceThe Quiet LifeThe Romanian Trousers Mystery
Here's the book blurb:
After nine years in maximum security prison for crimes against the state, Ger Mayes is on release. Free to try and recover the life he destroyed, free to rediscover love and normality.
"The worst criminal I have ever met," said the judge at Ger's trial, and it wasn't a professional compliment. Has nearly a decade of rubbing shoulders with Ireland's criminal elite improved Ger's skills?
Two weeks later Ger is sat in a Dublin park, the uniformed authorities to his right, the gangsters with their bad trousers to his left and a blonde woman's fragrant head in a bag at his feet. He should have got the hell out of Dodge when DI Andy McAuliffe told him to. How did it come to this?
His wife is ex, his son estranged. The authorities have his number and so do the local criminal fraternity. A couple of choice decisions place Ger in the middle of a brothel turf war, and he decides to rescue somebody that he used to know. He chases his dreams but murder, kidnap and blackmail fall effortlessly at his feet. Fate hasn't had its fill of Ger but will his natural survival instinct win out again?
