Want to read something new and exciting?

Believe me, urban thriller is a genre of fiction that is about to get popular.

Do you remember S.E.Hinton's Outsiders?
That book/film was in the late 70's. You will be hard pressed to find a book similar to Outsiders.

Later on this year, Mel Gibson will be staring in Under and Alone, the true story of a A.T.F infiltration of the Mongrels, a American outlaw biker's gang. This film is bound to get the public's interested in bad-boy bikers.

In Times of Violence is an urban thriller, about a biker's gang in London. the lifestyle, the violence they partake in, and the brother hood of the gang. This fiction novel is available direct from my publisher.

Lawless Justice, another urban thriller, is currently in the hands of UK literary agents.

Currently working with an artists on the cover for Huntress, which is due for release in January 08.

I have a lot of passion for this genre of book, even though I'm a versatile writer and have been published in all genres.

I hope you'll take a look at In Times of Violence. It will not disappoint!

Broken Chain

Working on a new novel this summer. It was unplanned but that's when the ideas are flowing. It's a crime thriller about agents in MI5.

I hope to have the prologue up in a few days.

Thanks for reading.

Here's a taster for you.


VIRUS

“Well, that's it. Now we wait again,” Maria announced.

Phil watched her sit at a cluttered desk to scribble yet more failure notes. But his eyes did not linger. He scanned the laboratory. It might be the last time he'd see it. Beds lined the walls of the spacious room, all but hiding its sterile, white-tiled floor. “How long until we see results this time — if any?” he aske… Continue

Just read your first chapter of Huntress. Although not familiar with urban thrillers, the hook at the front was a good one that even I wanted to know what happens next.

One More Time


I got the proof for Killer Career, and wouldn't you know it, I just had to find stuff that I wanted to fix. It'll cost me a bit more, but it's worth it not to be bugged about stuff I know is wrong. Okay, it's just little stuff, but little stuff sometimes means a lot.


So, a little more delay, a little more money, but hopefully all will end well. That's what matters.
It's no fun being a picky person. (G)
