If you're a member of Goodreads and want a free paperback, there's a giveaway going on right! Last Words is available world wide, Broken Toys is available in the US and Canada (I do apologise for it not being world wide this time around. It's a big book, in a different weight category to Last Words, so shipping is stupidly expensive).

Annnnnnnd GO!

Broken Toys. Mystery, suspense, and a little mid-life crisisy, available at Amazon and Kindle Unlimited.

Be quick, because it won't be at 99 cents for long!

Succumb to your impulse click.

It's always a weird few weeks leading up to the launch of a new book. I tend to develop a love / hate relationship with the book. This one in particular has been been on my mind for so long that it felt like it would never be done. Another annoyance is that I have to put the brakes on whatever project I'm currently writing so that I can run this one through the great big publishing check list.


I go through the maddening, “How the hell do you write a blurb? How? HOW?!”


I spend weeks looking for good book covers to serve as inspiration.


I agonise over words like 'stationary' and 'stationery', because both are correct and both mean different things.


Bah!


Thankfully I now have a graphic designer doing my covers. I nod when she talks about colour palettes and how left aligned is always best. We argue about the difference between purple and lilac.

By the way, you should Google 'terrible book cover' and have a look at the images. You'll find such gems as: Now that I'm a ghost I'm gay, time ninja, and the big colouring book of vaginas. I really should get an Amazon wish list going.


For now, though:

Out November 17. 99 cents for a limited time. Succumb to your impulse click.
