Paul Anthony, former detective, Goodreads member, several published books, screenplays under scrutiny, and an all round nice guy who offers a read through and edit service specialising in police thrillers.

I looked at Entangled Publishing, sounds promising and as soon as the book is polished and ready to go I'll give them a chance at the manuscript, if it's a no go I will publish myself.

Lol they wouldn't accept HOD it has adultery in the plot! As old as the hills is adultery, it's what keep the lawyers in the manner they've become accustomed!

Yep I have seen this before, and submitted to a couple of them. The first on the list sounds a bit prudish, no profanity - that rules The Menorah Murders out straight away!
