The Nightingale Experiment

My new Jack Nightingale book, Nightshade, is out in paperback in June.  It was published as a hardback and as an eBook on April 25.

By way of an experiment, my publisher Hodder and Stoughton has agreed to cut the price of the eBook of the first in the series, Nightfall, to just 99p.  Yes, less than a quid!

I think that's an amazing deal.  It only applies to the UK as Nightfall is published in the US by Amazon's imprint 47 North.

Hodder have also agreed to cut the price of books two and three, so for the next three weeks at least the Midnight eBook will be priced at £2.99 and the Nightmare eBook at £3.99.

It's very much an experiment and if it works I hope to persuade them to continue to sell them at the special low price.

Here's the synopsis of Nightfall, the first book in the Jack Nightingale supernatural thriller series. 'You're going to hell, Jack Nightingale': They are words that ended his career as a police negotiator. Now Jack's a struggling private detective - and the chilling words come back to haunt him.

Nightingale's life is turned upside down the day that he inherits a mansion with a priceless library; it comes from a man who claims to be his father, and it comes with a warning. That Nightingale's soul was sold at birth and a devil will come to claim it on his thirty-third birthday - just three weeks away.

Jack doesn't believe in Hell, probably doesn't believe in Heaven either. But when people close to him start to die horribly, he is led to the inescapable conclusion that real evil may be at work. And that if he doesn't find a way out he'll be damned in hell for eternity.

Nightshade Is Published Today!

Nightshade - the fourth book in the Jack Nightingale supernatural detective series - is published today!

I think it's the best yet!  It starts with Nightingale investigating a spree killing at a school in Northumberland, which looks like it might have a Satanic motive.

I am self-publishing Nightshade in the US as an eBook on Kindle, using a different cover.

I'm shortly going to be starting on the fifth book, which I think will be called Lastnight.  But first I want to try my hand at a few Jack Nightingale short stories.  Watch this space!

The Jack Nightingale eBook Boxed Set

I'm a big fan of boxed sets, especially where eBooks are concerned, so I'm over the moon that Hodder and Stoughton are releasing the three Jack Nightingale novels in a single eBook download.

Nightfall, Midnight and Nightmare were always intended as a trilogy, though I have already written book number four - Nightshade - which will be published in April.

It's great to see them in a boxed set at just £9.49, well below the price of buying the three books separately.  YOU CAN BUY THE BOXED SET FOR THE KINDLE HERE

New eBook Boxed Sets From Hodder

Hodder and Stoughton are releasing boxed sets of my Spider Shepherd eBooks at the bargain price of £9.99 for three books.  That's one heck of a deal.

Spider Short Stories Riding High

My two Spider Shepherd short stories are riding high in the Amazon charts - both of them are now in the top 5 in the War category.

I'm planning a third short story as we speak - set in the days when he was an SAS trooper in Afghanistan, several years before he became an undercover cop.

Kill Zone tells the story of how Spider got shot in Afghanistan - you can buy it HERE

Take Two Still Riding High In The eBook Charts

My self-published eBook Take Two - a full-length crime novel about a soap opera star who witnesses a gangland killing - is still in the UK eBook Bestseller Top 10.

According to the Bookseller magazine, Take Two was at Number 9 last week in the UK eBook bestseller list.  Pretty good going when the majority of eBooks in the list are being sold at 20p, less than a third of the price of Take Two.

Meanwhile I'm hard at work on the tenth Spider Shepherd story - True Colours. I'm supposed to be done by the end of May and I'm on target!
