Review of The Defence by Steve Cavanagh. July 10, 2015. August 16, 2015. As soon as ex-conman, non-practicing lawyer and comfort drinker Eddie Flynn began to tell me his story I heard his voice in the classic tones of a lead character in Mob movies like The Untouchables. Save his daughter’s life. As plot lines go this has an off the scale ‘how the hell is he going to get out of that’ hook that will pretty much keep you glued to your seat for the next 320 pages. Flynn’s not perfect, he’s got friends in hi...

The Person I Became (or what I’ve really learned since being published). If you attend enough events as an author, you will find you are asked the same questions many times over. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, because with each response, you are able to fine tune your answers. Are you a goat, or a sheep? Yes, but where did Mrs Creasy. What have you learned since you’ve been published? What have I learned since I’ve been published? Because I did it. I became the person I didn’t think I could become.

Creative writing inspiration is all around you. August 15, 2015. November 1, 2015. One of the most frequently asked questions of writers is ‘where do you get your ideas from? 8217; The answer is they’re everywhere. One of the simplest ways to start writing creatively is to pick three random words and make up a story. Smiling is contagious, that’s what they say so why is it so hard?

Review of A Killing Moon by Steven Dunne | PAMREADER
https://pamreader.wordpress.com/2015/08/07/review-of-a-killing-moon-by-steven-dunne
Review of A Killing Moon by Steven Dunne. August 7, 2015. August 16, 2015. Dunne’s gripping new thriller explores extremism and the moral ambiguity that can be misused to justify a belief or a behaviour. The story revolves around the disappearance of Caitlin, a feisty young woman who’s a little worse for wear after a night on the tiles in Derby. Dunne evokes a skin crawling level of tension as Caitlin walks home alone and hears a voice in the dark calling her name. I bought my Kindle copy from Amazon.

Review of The Infidel Stain by M.J. Carter | PAMREADER
https://pamreader.wordpress.com/2015/07/07/review-of-the-infidel-stain-by-m-j-carter
Review of The Infidel Stain by M.J. Carter. July 7, 2015. August 16, 2015. The story begins in London, 1841, with the discovery of a murder that Sir Robert Peel’s relatively new police appear unwilling to investigate. The Infidel Stain is a gripping murder mystery that twists and turns through the darkest corners of London life in Victorian England, where true horrors can be masked by good intentions. I was hooked from the first page to the last, and I loved the insight to the explosion in publishing...
