New Cover For Nightshade

Hodder have come up with a new cover idea for Nightshade, the new Jack Nightingale supernatural thriller which will be published in April next year.  I'm a big fan of the guy in the raincoat!

The Threesome - My New Erotic Short Story

Well, I say erotic, but I'm not sure how erotic it is!   It's about a man who lusts after a threesome with his wife and another girl, and how his life changes forever when he gets what he wants.

I wrote it immediately after finishing my new Jack Nightingale novel - Nightshade.  Nightshade is now being edited and should be in the shops next April.

I'll be starting the new Spider Shepherd book soon but in the meantime I'm having fun writing short stories. I want to do one called The Ladyboy Lover and I'm plotting out some Spider Shepherd stories about his time with the SAS in Afghanistan.

Short stories are great fun but they are hard work.  With a short story, what you leave out is almost as important as what you put in!

Anyway, you can buy The Threesome in the US HERE.

And in the UK HERE.

Do let me know what you think!

A Cover In Search Of A Book

I'm flat out on the new Jack Nightingale book and should have finished it in a day or two.

But as always my mind is at work on other projects.  I have several books that I want to write, but last week I found myself browsing on an eBook designer's website. You can see the website HERE

The company is called Damonza and I just love their work. They do great covers and videos and seem really professional.

They have a stack of pre-designed covers for just $195 and one of them really caught my eye.

I just loved it, and showed it to my Facebook friends. Within hours one of my FB friends came back with a title. Murder aGoGo.  Wow, that just blew me away so immediately I bought the cover.  Damonza are amazing to deal with and less than 48 hours later I was the proud owner of -

So I now have a cover, but no book.  But what a great incentive to get started. I already have the hero, I think. Tricky Ricky, who runs a Pattaya gogo bar. And there'll be a murder, of course. Probably several!  Watch this space!

Nightshade - almost done!

I'm flat out on the new Jack Nightingale book at the moment - it has to be done by the end of October.  Should be okay as I'm in full flow!  It's got a much higher body count than the previous books, which always helps!

Hodder have come up with a cover idea but it's not quite right - mainly because Jack rarely uses a gun and is more at home in cities than fields.  I also think the guy with the gun has a beard, which is very un-Nightingale. And Jack isn't a fan of bomber jackets.  I should get another cover in the next week or so - hopefully with Jack's trademark raincoat and satanic symbols!

I am having great fun with Nightshade, there's a fair bit of real police stuff in it but some very nasty black magic, too. If all goes to plan it'll be in the stores next April.  As I'm writing Nightshade I'm also researching the new Spider Shepherd book - more on that later!

Drury Lane Theatre - A Warning

If you're thinking of buying tickets for shows at the Drury Lane Theatre, whatever you do don't buy them through this company -

They have a website at www.royaldrurylanetheatrelondon.com and it's a con - they are nothing to do with the theatre and charge you over the odds for any tickets.

They pretend to be the theatre box office (or at least they did with me) but they aren't. I reckon that's fraud.

If you do want tickets for the Drury Lane Theatre - they did Shrek The Musican and Charlie And The Chocolate Factory - then the website to visit is www.reallyuseful.com/

It's Andrew Lloyd-Webber's company and you should always buy your tickets direct from him.

Sometimes words fail me....

Seriously.

Brilliant Review In The Sun

The Sun has just given my book False Friends a brilliant review.  False Friends got to Number 4 in the Sunday Times hardback bestseller list, too, which also cheered me up no end!
