Billy McLaughlin is a 38 year old writer from Glasgow who has published four novels in the crime genre.

The first is Invisible, a novelette about a woman who hides the true nature of her private life from a colleague that she's befriended. However, he delves in further under the belief that he can help her with horrible consequences.

I have a whirlwind of idea's, and ended up starting a new book before I'd even finished writing or editing the next one on release. I currently have the synopsis for 9 books.(less)

They blow up in your mind and become almost real. That's been fantastic because when I started writing my first book, it was very much standalone. I have no plans to re-use the characters from that book because I feel that their story was so complete that I couldn't find a place for them in the near future. However, characters from my second book "Lost Girl" have already found their way into the plot for book 3. (less)

Kindle Unlimited - a service worth paying for

I've read a few comments recently about how people are being shortchanged by Kindle Unlimited because it doesn't have big names or many bestsellers on it's list. I don't think its amazon that is short changing people as much as it is the major publishing houses not embracing the change to how people are reading.

I have my four books listed in Kindle Unlimited and I would say I have more success wit Read more of this blog post »
