Back With an Offer

I’m slowly getting around to rebuilding this site, and it’s time to update you. In a desperate effort to get organised, I’ve been running round in circles for the last few months, but I’m slowly getting there.

It’s necessary for me to keep my self-published work separate from my Crooked Cat titles, which is why I set up the alternative, Midthorpe Mysteries site. As if that’s not enough to drive me to distraction, I’m now in the process of setting up separate newsletters for the two sites.

You can learn about the Midthorpe one by cutting over there, so for now let’s talk about DW’s newsletter, which will concentrate on the Sanford 3rd Age Club Mysteries and the thrillers published by Crooked Cat. You’ll find the sign-up form on the right and repeated at the foot of this post.

So what do you get if you sign up?

Well, first you get a free copy of Trial by Fire, the 14th Sanford 3rd Age Club Mystery, which you can download the moment you confirm your subscription. My thanks go to Crooked Cat for agreeing to this.

Next, you get an absolute guarantee that you will never be spammed and that your email address will never be passed to any third party under any circumstances.

You will receive, maximum, one newsletter per month and it will not be chock full of adverts. Instead there will be news on forthcoming titles, as well as the odd, humorous anecdotes from real life (my real life, which is quite boring), and occasional offers on specific books.

You will also be notified when I’m looking for pre-publication beta readers, which will give you the opportunity to grab titles before they’re actually out on sale, and the only stipulation will be to comment on them. These offers will be limited in number, and made of a first-come, first-served basis.

That’s DW’s newsletter. So what’s for the future.

The Sanford 3rd Age Club Mysteries will continue. Trial by Fire marked a slightly new direction for Joe and his pals of the Sanford 3rd Age Club. No they’re not going hard-boiled or graphic, but they will be more complex, and see greater involvement from the background characters.

I don’t only turn out cosy mysteries like the STACs. I also write gritty thrillers and I’ll be expanding that particular list. They take much longer to produce than the STAC Mysteries, and I’ve already begun work on the third Croft novel, working title Combarus, which will see the master hypnotist working with the armed forces, pitted against an unfathomable foe who appears to be even more skilled than Croft at controlling others.

Timescale? Haven’t a clue, but it won’t be much this side of late spring, early summer, 2016.

So, busy times ahead, and I’m looking forward to them with renewed vigour.
