Grab a free summer read!

Ah, the summer. Lazy days languishing poolside, drink in one hand, book in the other…OK if you’re in England like me, that could well involve a thunderstorm or three and an alternative indoor location, but what the hey!! Wherever you are or are going to be, there’s nothing like knowing that you’ve set aside some time to relax with a book.

Whisper War is a Kindle-only publication, which means providing you have your Kindle with you or even the app on your phone, the wartime adventures of Eddie Bleakledge will always be at your fingertips! Eddie is mentioned in passing in my debut novella Whisper Wood and Whisper War is designed to work as a standalone story but there is something sinister linking the stories together…

Want to find out more? Well Whisper War will be available for free between August 1st and August 3rd right here, so make a note, or bookmark this blog and get on to some free book download joy in the middle of the holiday season!

After you’ve read Whisper War (and maybe even Whisper Wood too!) I’d be really grateful of your reviews, as they really do help self-published authors like me to get our stories out there.

Anyway, take care and have a sizzling summer!

Grab a free holiday read!

Who doesn’t love a holiday read? Although we’re officially in late summer, there’s still plenty of time to get stuck in, especially if you’ve booked a getaway at the end of August. Even if you haven’t, heading off to the beach, a local park or even your own garden if you’re fortunate enough to have one, is a simple pleasure and a great way to escape.

Let’s go with the late summer holiday scenario. You’re thinking seriously about which books to pack to keep the weight of your case down, lest you fall victim of those pesky airline rules.

“A-ha!” I hear you cry. “One step ahead of you there, my friend, for I have my trusty Kindle app!”

Of course you do, you’re savvy. You’re my kind of people! I know you’ll have every book you could ever want potentially at your fingertips, which is why novellas are great for holidays! Morning by the pool? Job done. Beach break before lunch? Perfect.

I recently launched Whisper War, book 2 in my whisper trilogy, and it’s available for the very affable sum of 99p. Because I’d love it if you’d read it, I’m offering book one, Whisper Wood, totally for free this weekend – Friday 16th-Sunday 18th August inclusive! That’s potentially two great reads for 99p, or one for absolutely nothing!

So go on, do yourself a favour and grab a nice novella or two for your holiday, with no worries about luggage allowance!

Whisper War is here!

Whisper War is here!

If you read my last post, you’ll remember that Whisper War, the second part of my genre-hopping trilogy of novellas, was soon to be released. Well, now that it’s out and available on Amazon kindle I thought I’d tell you a little more about a man called Eddie Bleakledge.

He’s the protagonist of Whisper War, and if you’ve read Whisper Wood, you’ll have heard a certain Rose Constantine speak his name. He’s her older brother, and as we found out while following the life of that book’s main protagonist Frank, she spent most of her troubled days in Sunnyvale either wondering about his whereabouts or believing that one of her fellow residents was Eddie.

Well, it turns out that maybe Rose did know something we didn’t. We learned in Whisper Wood that Eddie went to war, but what exactly happened to him? And how does all this link up with those mysterious voices that we also heard from in Whisper Wood?

The story of the voices continues to unfold, and this latest chapter is filled with wartime drama and action as well as a generous helping of paranormal mystery. We join Eddie as he lives through devastating conflict, both on the battlefield and in his mind, and learns more about his purpose.
