H.E. Bulstrode (goodreadscomhebulstrode) | 58 comments Agnes of Grimstone Peverell by H.E. Bulstrode
'Agnes of Grimstone Peverell,' a wry-humoured ghost story for Christmas. Free to Kindle Unlimited subscribers, otherwise 99p.

On a bitterly cold day in December 2009, the Smallwoods find themselves enjoying the Victorian Christmas market in the little-known Dorset town of Grimstone Peverell. Chilled to the marrow, they retire to the town’s minster where they are accosted by an enthusiastic guide, who knows a great deal about some things, yet next to nothing about that which would, to most people, seem obvious; she seems keen not to let them go, but return to London they must – Lionel has a play to review. That, at least, is his intention.

D.D. Chant (DDChant) | 7663 comments The Assurance is FINALLY here! You can grab your copy of Leofric's adventures in both paperback and ebook form. If you haven't started the series yet the first book, The Promise, is currently FREE!

The Assurance (The Lady Quill Chronicles, #3) by D.D. Chant

Synopsis:

Gifted with a cheerful and open nature, Leofric of Drogand was held to be the most charming man in all of Wessex. Yet there were depths to his character that few understood. Forced to keep secrets from his earliest years, Leofric had become highly skilled when it came to intrigue and subterfuge.
It was his taste for adventure that led him to take up a position in Kent's royal court, but spying on the royal household on behalf of Wessex soon ceased to amuse him.
Would the dangerous web of lies he found himself surrounded by prove to be his undoing?
Or would he find, in the most unlikely of places, the new beginning he never imagined could be his?
Thanks!

Chris Wright (author_chris_g_wright) | 18 comments Hi folks.

I published my first sci-fi novel, THE ALLIANCE, in November, but now I have a brand new cover for it.


The Alliance (The Evox Chronicles #1) by Chris G. Wright

amazon.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N3MBHGU
amazon.co.uk https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01N3MBHGU

The Alliance lays the groundwork for a 6-volume post-apocalyptic/space opera/military science fiction series. It takes Humanity on a thrilling journey from dystopian societies and an Earth occupied by other galactic civilizations, to interstellar travel and space colonization, to warfare and a series of extraordinary events.

If it sounds like the sort of book you would read, or a book someone you know would really enjoy, then please spread the word.

Have a merry Christmas everyone.

Anna James | 2 comments Hi!

I'm Anna James and I write contemporary romance and romantic suspense. My latest romantic suspense, BANKING ON LOVE, released recently.

If you like a little suspense and intrigue with your romance, give Banking on Love a read. It's free for Kindle Unlimited members.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MXKOI4...

Book blurb:
When Ethan Montgomery is forced to return home to run the New York City branch of Montgomery International, the last thing he expects is to find is that the Board of Directors have hired forensic accountant, Rachel Sullivan, to review the bank’s records. Ethan fell for Rachel thirteen years ago, but she chose Ryan, his best friend since childhood. Now, after Ryan’s sudden and tragic death, Rachel is alone again. Seeing her brings back feelings Ethan believed died a long time ago. Worse, giving in to those feelings threatens to expose a secret Rachel should never know, one that involves Ryan and the past and might endanger her life.

Rachel Sullivan is stunned when Ethan Montgomery suddenly returns to New York City after years away in Europe, and, heaven help her, those feelings she once had for him, before she had to marry Ryan, are back and stronger than ever. But being with Ethan is a conflict of interest and threatens to annihilate everything she’s worked toward over the last few years, including her independence and painstakingly rebuilt financial security destroyed by Ryan’s death.

Will circumstances force them to once again sacrifice their true feelings, or will Rachel and Ethan conquer the odds and give love a second chance?

Terrence Perera (terrenceperera) | 21 comments "Unsuitable Boys!" by Terrence Perera

My new novel, “Unsuitable Boys!” based in Sri Lanka, is now available on Amazon UK
The novel commences as a delightful romantic comedy of errors where parents choose the wrong boys for their daughters and where the concept of arranged marriages in Sri Lanka is explored. Further, as a foil to these innocent young loves, there is the sordid affair of the uncle.
Nevertheless, the story takes a tragic turn when one parent, a powerful political figure, decides to terminate his daughter’s love affair by terminating the life of her lover!
The novel takes place in that sad period in Sri Lanka’s history where a “psychosis of fear” pervaded the country and disappearances, killings and abduction by “white vans” were the order of the day. https://www.amazon.com/author/terrenc...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Red-Queen-Al...

Fincham is sent to Kazan to buy diamonds on behalf of British Intelligence. However, he is not the only interested party, as it’s more than diamonds everyone is willing to kill for. Not knowing who to trust, he takes on some unlikely allies and must fight to survive. If that was not enough, the FSB are also interested in speaking to Fincham…

Chris Wright (author_chris_g_wright) | 18 comments The Alliance lays the groundwork for a 6-volume science fiction series that takes Humanity on a thrilling journey from dystopia to utopia, from an Earth occupied by other species of the Milky Way to interstellar travel and space colonisation, to galactic warfare and head-to-head encounters with the cosmos's greatest threats.
The Alliance (The Evox Chronicles #1) by Chris G. Wright
It starts off as a dystopian drama, where mankind has been pushed towards extinction by the ambitious conquest of an alien civilisation, the Rabast, led by the Prince of Wrath.

Help comes in the form of an ambiguous ally from the Pleiades star system. The Pleodians bring with them a plan that could save Earth, but that help comes at a price – the Humans will have to share their home planet.

However, both species depend on the efforts of a resistance fighter expected to give up everything to support the Alliance, Ethan Alexander Colt, and a soldier with a troubled past, Captain Donovan Ford.

The Pleodians’ plan requires a collection of War Engines, the Conduits, ancient weapons/combat suits used by the infamous Scientists, a group of intellectuals responsible for creating both the Rabast … and the Humans.

Find it at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N3MBHGU
Soon to be available in paperback.

Dr Sujata has offered to help Vishnu peel away the layers of confusion and emptiness and reconcile with the truth. But what is the truth? Will they find it? And if so, will Vishnu be ready to face it?!

Lee Isserow | 1 comments Hi all,

My new Liverpool-set novel, Touch Sensitive is out today!

It's a romantic suspense thriller with some light scifi, and I really hope you guys dig it.



https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MXWG0IT/



Kirkus called it "A thoroughly modern noir with a scifi twist"


John Ballard is a PI with a condition. One in a million born with a sensitivity.
He absorbs the memories of whatever or whoever he touches.

The cops call him in to help on a case, a gruesome and inexplicable murder that only someone with his gift can solve.
But absorbing the memories of the mutilated body is going to send John's life spiralling out of control. Force him to cross every line, betray everyone who trusts him.

He doesn't just want to find the killer - he needs to find her - because the one thing that's clear about the woman behind the crime, is that she's a sensitive too.



Another reader referred to it as "Sam Spade re-told by Philip K. Dick, with a splash of Vonnegut & Atwood"

If you like noir, romantic suspense, and grounded light scifi, hopefully you'll like TOUCH SENSITIVE too...

Mick Kelly Hi everyone. My new novel - Magic Dan - is now available on Amazon as an ebook and paperback...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06WWFV55...

It's a story about a band from the 1980s when synthesisers ruled the land and haircuts were strange and stiff. Here's the blurb...
--------------------------------------------
December 1985 and New Romancer’s first single had peaked at number 40. Keyboard player Jonnie Cole’s dreams of girls, money, girls, travel, girls, drugs, girls and music seemed to have stalled. But with new hit producer ‘Magic’ Dan McCloud on board, 1986 looked like being their year.

Join them on their first tour of Europe as they discover themselves, each other and the dangerous cargo they have unwittingly stowed on the tour bus.

CAUTION: This tale of sex, drugs and synthesisers contains all three, plus a lot of swearing.

--------------------------------------------

I will be putting up a giveaway soon - end date 31st March, so please keep tuned....

L.A. Kent | 3925 comments We're delighted to report that the new Cornish DI Treloar murder mystery is now available for Kindle!! Yayy!!!

It is set in mostly across the river from Fowey, but with lots happening in Brighton. It's called Silent Gull and the blurb is shown below.

Here's the link http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XCT9PNR/ and here's the cover Silent Gull by L.A. Kent

It’s cold on the water. It’s late November in Cornwall; late evening. A figure clad in a wetsuit, in a dark kayak, is pulling against the inflowing waters of the tide across the River Fowey powering toward a secret assignation in defiance of an ancient powerful family.

High above the river in a medieval timbered hall, a Hollywood superstar is mourning the loss of his first born son, rebuilding his life’s purpose in a new enterprise, an exclusive, therapeutic establishment for troubled souls. But he is unaware that his arrival in Cornwall has aroused a simmering resentment and growing anger in a formidable foe.

Further west, D I Félipe Treloar is visiting his first boss and mentor in a Falmouth hospice. The man is dying, but before he slips away he has a mission for his former acolyte and a terrible admission which will rock Treloar to the core and threaten to tear apart his close-knit family, pitting him against one of the most feared and despised men in Europe.

And yet further west, an embittered, frightened old man, sits in the cold, brooding on the past and lamenting his irredeemable legacy.

When a dead child is found in the river the currents lead Treloar and his team upstream to the idyllic, peaceful setting of the Valley of the Tides where its inhabitants nurse their dark obsessions; a burnt-out chef, an MP’s disturbed daughter, a depraved young man with powerful protectors, and dubious unprincipled staff members.

As Treloar fights the growing evil, bitter rivalries resurface, corrosive resentment spills out and unspeakable deeds are uncovered, and he must look to old friends and secretive allies for aid as powerful forces conspire to protect their interests. And when Jackson Power thinks he has lived through the worst, he will face a father’s ultimate nightmare.

Hope you enjoy it!! The research was great - Christmas in Cornwall!

Uprising by Arun D. Ellis

Hi

Just to let you know that my book 'Uprising' will be FREE on Amazon for Kindle/PC download from Monday 6th to Friday 10th March 2017. All I ask is that you tell your friends and leave a review.

Set in a dystopian future; all wealth is in the hands of the Corporations, the 1% whilst the 99% live in economic debt or poverty on sink estates in the North. Terry works for Relocations, his job is to relocate undesirables to these estates. Unfortunately for Terry he is late for work once too often and is himself relocated to a sink. But Terry is not all he seems. Why is he there and who does he really work for?

Sample below:

Cramming the last piece of toast into his mouth Terry Jones grabbed his jacket and left his apartment for the office. He’d had the option of a high-rise within walking distance when he was first assigned to Relocations; his reasons for turning it down had seemed sound; cost = astronomical, space = minimal. Now, and not for the first time, he wished he’d taken it. That morning he’d set his alarm earlier than usual in the hopes of beating the rush hour traffic, problem was he never really managed to keep to his schedule (poor time management or lousy schedule?) and he found himself, yet again, bumper to bumper and yet again, late for work.
Brian Olsen made the final adjustments to his tie, jacket and hair before leaving the men’s room and heading to his desk; all the while diligently maintaining an erect 6ft 6in posture, a copy of today’s Times clamped under his right arm, his brief case gripped firmly in his right hand, and as he strode he repeated his mantra over and over in his head ‘today I will excel, today I will exceed all expectations, today I will excel, today I will exceed all expectations….’

Rain Morgan, stared at the free drinks machine for a few moments before selecting a cappuccino with sugar. Her actual name was Rainbow Sunset, her mother having one her odd moments, but she preferred Rain. She was quickly joined by Debby Jenna and Phillippa Djukovic; just time for a quick debrief of Phillippa’s date with Simon Brookes from Finance.
Peter Illyffe, the divisional manager for Relocations 1, left his office and headed for the usual 8:30 briefing in meeting room 3, aka the cupboard due to its lack of size and windows. His staff fell in behind, a well-rehearsed troupe, that is everyone except Terry Jones who was still driving fruitlessly round and round the car park.

The room filled quickly; those lucky enough to get in the door first grabbed a seat at the table, Peter at their head.

“Morning everyone,” he said, to which there were the usual responses of “morning, morning Peter,” a few nods and coughs and a silky “morning, Boss” from Brian, tall even when sitting down. “No Terry, I see?”

This too was greeted by the usual responses, initial silence, then embarrassed coughs or ums…. followed by a clear and unequivocal “he’s not in yet, Boss” from Brian. Peter made a note in the top corner of his meeting notes, as usual.

“Ok, everyone got a copy of today’s agenda?” general nods everywhere, “good, ok – item one then – the recent merger with Alderson’s. As per our meeting yesterday morning I’ve checked up the line and can confirm that Alderson’s Relocations are being wound down and we will ‘inherit their workload’.”

“Relocations are being relocated.” Phillippa’s quip was not altogether unexpected; there were a few groans.

“Thank you Phillippa,” said Peter.

“How big a workload we talking?” asked Rain.

“Approx half again our existing workload,” replied Peter.

“Will we be getting more staff?” Rain again.

“No,” said Peter.

“But how are we meant to cope with that?” asked Debby, saying what the others were thinking.

“By ‘working smarter’,” Brian jumped in, borrowing one of Peter’s ‘phrases of the moment’, “and if some people spent less time at the coffee machine talking then we’d get a lot more done.”

“Who’re you on about?” demanded Debby, realising too late that by asking the question she had singled herself out. Peter made another note at the top of his meeting papers.

“Moving on” said Peter, sounding tired, “there will be a further meeting at 2pm today with the team from Alderson’s so we can ‘manage the handover’ smoothly. Rain and I will attend that. Another quick point, the company will no longer be providing free drinks.”

There was a collective gasp, then “Why’re they changing it?” asked Debby, “I mean we’ve had free coffee for years now.” For some reason her mouth seemed to be working overtime this morning, in the absence of Terry it could be deemed she had assumed his mantle.

“As you all know we’re facing ever ‘stiffer competition’ out there, which is one of the reasons we’ve been merged with Alderson’s. The Efficiency Department has identified that the company could save almost £100,000 a year by moving to a ‘pay for your own’ drinks environment.”

“Can we bring a kettle and make our own drinks?” asked Phillippa.

“No,” replied Peter, “that would mean providing kitchen facilities – an added expense.”

“What about a flask?” asked Brian.

“Flasks are OK,” said Peter, flashing him a grateful smile.

“If you can drink anything from a flask,” muttered Rain.

“Everyone, now, come to order, please.” Peter was becoming irritated and the strain of not showing it was telling on his stress levels. At that point Terry opened the door and slipped into the room, “Ah! Mr. Jones, glad you could join us.”

“Sorry I’m late,” said Terry “couldn’t find anywhere to park.”

“There were loads of spaces when I got here at 8:00,” said Brian.

“I got held up in traffic,” offered Terry, his expression hopeful.

“Then might I suggest you leave earlier,” replied Brian, “we all make the effort to be here on time, it’s only ever you who’s late.”

“Thank you, Brian,” Peter interceded. “OK the final point, we’ve had a report from C.I.T, the Counter Intelligence Team,” he elaborated, staring pointedly at Phillippa over whose head most things of import were known to sail, “that we have a ‘heightened terror threat’ as a result of our merger with Alderson’s.” He waited for the information to sink in then continued by way of explanation, “Apparently we’re now the 3rd largest provider of labour resource in the EU so it makes us an even bigger target.” Phillippa looked on the verge of tears, possibly at being singled out for the stare, the rest were demonstrating variously dismay or affected disinterest but no-one spoke. “So everybody please ‘stay alert, stay vigilant’ and re-watch the compulsory DVD ‘Terror and Counter Terrorism’. Remember, ‘we’re all in this together’ and it’s up to each and every one of us to …‘keep the workplace safe’.”

Terry winced; he was convinced that Peter’s insistence on speaking in inverted commas and quoting the company watchwords at every opportunity had a damaging effect on his psyche.

“Did anyone see the news this morning?” asked Rain, too brightly. “There was an explosion in the town centre.”

“Yeah,” chipped in Debby, “near Macheson’s.”

“They said something about 20 casualties,” Rain added, “it’s awful”.

“Did they say who it was?” asked Terry.

“It’s a bit early for that kind of info,” snapped Brian.

“I dunno,” defended Terry, “they sometimes give a warning.”

“That’s the Red Freedoms,” said Debby, “the Black Hands don’t give a warning.”

“Which could imply the Black Hands,” said Terry, settling in for a natter on the merits and demerits of one terrorist organisation’s way of doing business versus another.

“OK,” interrupted Peter, forestalling further chat, “Any questions?”

“Parking,” said Terry, opportunistic as ever, “when are they doing something about parking?”

“As we said yesterday and the day before and, oh yes, as we’ve been saying every day in all these months since you joined us, they aren’t going to do anything about the parking, thank you, Terry.” Peter stared round the table, lingering on Phillippa, as if daring any more utterances.

“When are they going to fix the tower clock?” she asked, making a sterling effort to fight back tears.

“And they aren’t going to fix the clock, either, Phillippa. As we’ve already said it will cost too much to repair. Any more questions?”

Silence.

“Good, back to work all of you, except you Terry, if you could just stay back a minute.”
The others filed out of the room and closed the door behind them.

“You were late again Terry.”

“I know but it was the traffic….”

“Traffic is not an excuse, Terry,” said Peter, “you should know to factor that in to your plans. Also, as I recall, Human Resources offered you an apartment close by when you joined us, a much sought after facility that had only come available due to the unfortunate demise of your predecessor.” He fell silent, possibly in recognition of human frailty and the fact that the previous occupant had thrown himself ungratefully off the 7th floor balcony of the much vaunted facility. “You are paid to be here between the hours of 8:30 and 5:00. It’s up to you to get yourself here on time.”

“Yes,” said Terry, for once recognising a time when the less words said might be the better.

“Everyone else manages to be here. I have to come from further away than you so I leave earlier. Brian always gets here at 8:00.”

“I know,” Terry murmured, humbly, while thinking 'yeah but Brian hasn’t got a life…'

“And he doesn’t leave his desk until 5.45 whereas you are packed and out the door by 5:10 if you can get away with it.”

Again, Brian hasn’t got a life …“I always do my hours…”

“Do you want to see your clocking in sheet?” asked Peter. Terry ducked his head; he knew what it would show. “The thing is Terry, it’s not working out for us; I think we need to move you on.”

Terry grimaced “I’m sorry Peter, I promise I will get here earlier in future.”

“I’m afraid it’s too late, Terry, Galaxy has already collated your data and raised it with Human Resources. They’ve spotlighted you and put in the transfer request.”

“You mean I’m already on the List?” asked Terry. “That was quick.”

Peter gave him a look; he was a strange one and no mistake, “Should come through in a few days. …Obviously you can’t be on site when it comes through, that would create a conflict of interest so your employment with Peter Brookes will be terminated this morning.”

Terry placed his head in his hands; his date with Cathy in Finance had just gone down the pan.

“I’m sorry, Terry but you knew your stats were in the system. It was only a matter of time before Galaxy highlighted you. You know the drill; it’s out of my hands.”

“I know, I know,” said Terry.

“I’m afraid I have to escort you off the premises.” Terry nodded. “Straight from this meeting.”

“Right now? Don’t I get to say goodbye to anyone?”

“Afraid not, you will be clocked out …” Peter flicked through his paperwork, “5 minutes from now. Sorry but there’s nothing I can do.”

“Yeah, I know,” said Terry, “I know how the system works.”


Happy reading, hope you have a good week.

L.A. Kent | 3925 comments I'm delighted to announce that Silent Gull, the new Cornish DI Treloar murder mystery is now available in paperback! The 3rd in the Treloar series is set in the environs of the riverside town of Fowey in Cornwall, and the out of county action is in Brighton, which provides the burnt out chef staying at The Valley of the Tides therapeutic centre; in the woodland on the opposite side of the river from Fowey itself.

The Silent Gull by L.A. Kent paperback is available from Amazon at http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XCT9PNR/ and for Kindle of course as well.

Back cover blurb

It’s cold on the water. It’s late November in Cornwall; late evening. A figure clad in a wetsuit, in a dark kayak, is pulling against the inflowing waters of the tide across the River Fowey powering toward a secret assignation in defiance of an ancient powerful family.

High above the river in a medieval timbered hall, a Hollywood superstar is mourning the loss of his first born son, rebuilding his life’s purpose in a new enterprise, an exclusive, therapeutic establishment for troubled souls. But he is unaware that his arrival in Cornwall has aroused a simmering resentment and growing anger in a formidable foe.

Further west, D I Félipe Treloar is visiting his first boss and mentor in a Falmouth hospice. The man is dying, but before he slips away he has a mission for his former acolyte and a terrible admission which will rock Treloar to the core and threaten to tear apart his close-knit family, pitting him against one of the most feared and despised men in Europe.

And yet further west, an embittered, frightened old man, sits in the cold, brooding on the past and lamenting his irredeemable legacy.

When a dead child is found in the river the currents lead Treloar and his team upstream to the idyllic, peaceful setting of the Valley of the Tides where its inhabitants nurse their dark obsessions; a burnt-out chef, an MP’s disturbed daughter, a depraved young man with powerful protectors, and dubious unprincipled staff members.

As Treloar fights the growing evil, bitter rivalries resurface, corrosive resentment spills out and unspeakable deeds are uncovered, and he must look to old friends and secretive allies for aid as powerful forces conspire to protect their interests. And when Jackson Power thinks he has lived through the worst, he will face a father’s ultimate nightmare.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Long-Spoon-K...

“Good God! You’re a drug pusher?”

When chemistry student Ed discovers his housemate Paul sells legal highs, he’s shocked. He’s stunned. He’s a little bit envious.

As gifted as he is arrogant, Ed analyses and improves Paul’s tablets – and the world starts throwing money at him. Even seekers of enlightenment at a local commune are eating out of his chemical-stained hand.

But danger dogs the footsteps of Ed’s path to his first Nobel Prize. Their activities are noticed by a drug gang, hard men who hate competition. Ed needs to start making some grown-up decisions if he and Paul are going to survive.

If you sup with the devil, take a long spoon…

Vasil Meg | 10 comments Nights of Thunder is now available on http://www.lulu.com/shop/vasil-meg/ni...

"A young man uses his imagination to kill those who deems responsible for the degradation of society. He takes on the role of punisher, but his actions wreak havoc on those he swore to salvage. Nights of Thunder is a story about retribution, terror, violence and blood, yet more so it is a secret elegy, a forbidden tale that over the last few years has been an inspiration and some kind of an unholy gospel for many anarchists and terrorists worldwide. Read it at your own risk."

Catherine Lind (catherinelind) | 1 comments Fly wings, Fly high! by Catherine Lind
I had a stroke almost two years ago, and I lost much of my language skills and my vocabulary. A part of me believed that I would never write a book again. Too many words were missing from my vocabulary and I had difficulties expressing myself. It’s been a long road back since then and I eventually started to write.

I just published my latest book; Fly wings, Fly High! It’s a short story and the first book I written since the stroke. It tells the story about my journey back to a new life, but also the story of a courageous bird, his determination gave me strength to fight.

The same summer I had my stroke, a little magpie was born in our garden. He had a huge disability; he couldn’t fly. One of his wings was deformed and much smaller than the other. Usually birds don’t survive something like that, but he did. Not only did he survive, he built himself a beautiful life in our front yard. Without him knowing it, he gave me the tools I needed and he helped me find my way back. With a little help from each other we learned how to fly again.

If you’re interested in my new book you find it here: http://amzn.to/2rFM3dN It’s published both as a kindle book, enrolled in kindle unlimited, and as a paperback.

T.A. Sorsby (ta_sorsby) | 80 comments Good afternoon all,

Recently published my first novel via KDP - "Left Behind" - have a gander at the synopsis, check out the preview chapters, and maybe even read the whole thing. Right now I'm hoping to attract reviewers so it's at the low price of 99p. Happy reading!

"Left Behind is an action/horror story, set against the backdrop of a fictional but easily relatable modern world. Told from the perspective of the group's would-be leader, it focuses on the personal story of several friends and neighbours in a city stricken by an apocalyptic plague, turning living people into walking corpses.

The characters are savvier than the average horror movie cast, and use this genre-awareness to make plenty of commentary on Apocalyptic Fiction as their story progresses from cautious ignorance of the rising pandemic, to a desperate bid to escape their doomed city."

ah yes, the Light Music story. I thought you'd still be sighing romantically at 'The course of true love' :-)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments I'm too cynical to be signing romantically about much.
