That's awesome Mel !!

[M.A.]

Thanks guys, can't grumble. My books always seem to do better in the US for some reason. :-)

[Patti (baconater)]

That's great Mel!

Buy me lunch!

[M.A.]

You're on, name your destination?

[Patti (baconater)]

Half way tween here n there would be fair, I think.

Morocco?

[M.A.]

I'll only go to a country where they know how to treat women properly. I wouldn't want to end up in prison after hitting a bloke because of the way he looked at me! :-)

[Patti (baconater)]

We'll just have to wear burka.

After all it's OUR fault if men can't control themselves.

[M.A.]

Not keen on that idea! :-(

[Patti (baconater)]

Can't imagine why not. ;)

[M.A.]

Yikes! Thanks Amazon. :-)

[Steve]

That's awesome, Mel. Well done and congrats. Just shows what a bit of advertising can do.

[M.A.]

Thanks Steve. It depends who is doing the advertising I suppose. :-)

[Katy]

Yay Mel!

[Philip (sarah)]

Congratulations Mel.

[M.A.]

Thank you muchly. It's a timely move by Amazon what with the move next week! Any help is greatly appreciated. :-)))

[Patti (baconater)]

Oh, oh, oh!

I know how I can be helpful!!!

I'll pop round your's and fertilise the grass, shall I?

[M.A.]

LOL! Thanks. I'll set up a tent near the nettles in the corner! :-)

[Jud]

Well done Mel :o)

I started Final Justice yesterday. It's so good!! I'm loving the crisis Lorne is having at the start, it makes her seem more human and just like the rest of us and not some super human police detective lady.

p.s. Jaques... Can't believe you did that.

Wow! A tent!

I was expecting a cardboard box.

[M.A.]

Thanks Jud, so pleased you're enjoying it. xxx

Ahhh Jacques. C'est la vie! :-(

Could be arranged, Patti. ♥

[Jud]

I'll get to the new one eventually!

[Patti (baconater)]

Yeah, right.

There are no cardboard boxes in France. I'd have to bring my own.

[Jud]

Make sure it's corrugated Patti for extra strength and I recommend a plastic bag to keep the damp out from underneath

[M.A.]

Haha Jud. Takes me back to my school days. Went for a hike on Dartmoor with the school once and they didn't provide us with ground sheets. It rained constantly for 48 hours, I shared a tent with my friend, we were frozen all night, and me being me, I emptied all the clothes out of my bag and covered her with them. :-)

[Patti (baconater)]

Yep, sounds like something you'd do, Mel.

I'd have lay on top of her to keep dry.

I'm sure the grammar in that sentence is completely wrong.

[Jud]

I did have a ground sheet when I last went camping and was still frozen. My aunty and uncle drove up to us with extra jumpers and some chocolate (which was technically cheating as we were on our Gold Duke of Edinburgh)

[M.A.]

Go you Jud for doing the Duke of Edinburgh awards. It's horrible being wet and cold constantly wish I'd had chocolate with me.

[Jud]

I haven't had my gold signed up though and think I am too late so I'll never get the award now.

I don't have chocolate but I have blueberries, would you like one?

[M.A.]

Oh no that's a shame!


ooo you have superfood. Love superfoods. :-)

[Jud]

nom nom nom. I've started munching blueberries as my snack in work, I was shocked when I bit into one and found it is actually a greenish white colour inside

[M.A.]

Yes, they are weird looking but lovely all the same, enjoy them and think of the good they're doing. :-)

[Jud]

I also just had a tin of tuna and an apple for lunch. I'm on track for a pretty healthy day today. Going to the beach tonight so will probably wreck it all with lots of ice cream and sweeties.

[Jud]

I just finished Final Justice just book 4 to go and I'm all caught up on the series :o)

Oh yea and I loved it by the way. Will right a review at some point in the next couple days.

[M.A.]

I love Tuna too. At one time it was the only type of fish I ate, but now I eat all sorts, providing it doesn't have a head on or smell fishy! lol

Glad you liked it Jud. Someone left a sweet message on my FB wall yesterday to say they thought FOUL JUSTICE book 4 is the best in the series yet. That's great to know and is indeed how it should be, that each book improves.

[Jud]

Yea 3 was fab, so far it is my favourite. Can't wait for lunch break to get stuck into 4

[Jud]

I'm mega jealous that Patti gets to be the pathologist.
I hope that the personalities of the characters are not a reflection on your opinion of the person whose name you have used for them, otherwise you really mustn't think much of Katy! ;o)

[M.A.]

Haha! No reflection on their personalities at all, Jud.

Just came home to this fabulous review for Foul Justice, I'm totally gobsmacked by it.



Foul Justice is the fourth outing for Mel Comley's vixen detective, Lorne Simpkins. Whereas the previous three have been 5-star nuggets, this is the mother lode - by far the best in the series and worthy of taking its place at the front rank of modern crime thrillers.

The story sinks its claws into you with a harrowing opening scene-setter that makes you want to cry out for justice. After that there's nothing you can do but stay on board to see what happens as Comley weaves her gritty tale with the ease of a maestro. Her lead character is a hard-bitten policewoman who has had to fight her corner every step of the way in a male-dominated profession. She's made it to the top and is now trying to solve three horrific murders; deal with the capture of her MI6 boyfriend in Afghanistan; and break in a new partner who seems to have her own fair share of personal troubles.

All three strands of the story come together seamlessly, not least because Comley has the knack for maintaining a frantic pace while taking time to provide the reader with insight into the lives of real people, dealing with real issues. These aren't superheroes, but when the time comes to step up to the plate, you just know they'll be there.

The author's writing style is easy on the eye. There's a steady pace about how she unravels the threads and yet reserves a few surprises in an ending typical of the best crime mysteries. This is a book that readers of the genre can't afford to overlook.

[Jud]

Wow! That's amazing. Wish I could write reviews like that...

Go you!

[M.A.]

It is isn't it Jud. Sent me all tingly! lol

[Patti (baconater)]

I wish I could write reviews half as well. Heck, a quarter as well.

That review is spot on, Mel. Thoroughly deserved.

I think I'd be a great pathologist. ;)

I loved that there was a Darren in the book.

Jud you are gonna LOVE the world exclusive story.

Mel is awesome for offering it to the group as she did.

Heck, Mel is just awesome.

[Patti (baconater)]

Two hecks in one post.

Patti can so never be a writer.

[M.A.]

Heck!!! I keep telling you I'm one of life's givers! lol

[Patti (baconater)]

Heck! You don't need to tell us that!

Your actions speak for themselves.

[M.A.]

Bless you ♥

[Jud]

Heck! (I was feeling left out)

What are you trying to do to me Mel!!! I was practically in tears at book 4 I won't say at what part cause I don't want to spoil it, and talk about exciting!! I;m just over 50% through now.

[M.A.]

OMG!!! You're blazing through them Jud. xx

[Jud]

They are just that good Mel

[M.A.]

You're so good for my ego! lol xx
