I made the news in Southampton
Crime writing dream comes true for ex Southampton student
A Southampton Solent University graduate has fulfilled her lifelong ambition and released a debut crime fiction novel.
Vicki FitzGerald, who studied a BA (Hons) degree in journalism, worked as a regional reporter in the south west for a decade upon graduating.
After venturing into public relations for six years, Vicki decided to follow her dream of becoming a published author, and has released debut crime thriller, Briguella.
The self-published book is based upon her experiences of covering crime stories for a local newspaper.
It follows the story of a journalist Kate Rivendale, who becomes embroiled in the manhunt for a serial killer in the fictional town Westhaven.
The authorities have no suspect, only one forensic link dating way back to the 1930s. Kate agrees to go undercover but her actions have devastating consequences.
Vicki, 36, says creating the book has been a long process and she put her company, Paramount PR, on hold to carry out extensive research and bring it to fruition.
The mum-of-two said: “I am thrilled my debut crime thriller has been published and I’m truly humbled by all fantastic reviews it has already gained.
“Oddly, I enjoyed covering crime as a reporter and it helped to inspire the book.
“Briguella is based loosely around a police investigation I covered involving a serial attacker and readers will recognise many South West landmarks."
Briguella is available on Amazon to order in paperback or as an eBook at https://mybook.to/Briguella

Wonderful reviews & huge thanks!!
I must apologise for being out of action. I have been very ill for a good week and am still quite poorly, to be honest, and trying to recover, so I have been unable to write or read, which feels so wrong!
I have popped online today (laptop in bed), trying to catch up with all the new reviews that have been coming through for Briguella!
There have been some amazing ones (all 5 or 4 star) which has been overwhelming. The comments and praise that Briguella has received are mindblowing! A huge thank you to every single one of you who has taken the time to offer your opinions and support.
Feeling rather sorry for myself, this review published today on Bibliophile Book Club really cheered me up. I would like to thank
Ellen Devonport for her review:
"One of the highlights of being a guest reviewer is that I will often come across little hidden gems of genius and Briguella by Vicki Fitzgerald was that book this month! This is a book that deserves more recognition; I was drawn in from the chilling start and by the end I felt wrung out emotionally. A tale containing a serial killer was always going to grab my interest and this book is written so well that I couldn’t help but race through the pages.
"The story centres around three main characters: Kate Rivendale, a journalist who is desperate to get the next big scoop but with a conscience, DCI William Beckley, a detective who must crack the case due to past mistakes and the killer, a mystery figure who wears a mask depicting Briguella (a cunning and wicked character from the Commedia dell’arte).
"There is a little #sexytension between Kate and William but this didn’t detract from my enjoyment as it becomes obvious Kate is devoted to her husband. Kate has her own secrets though and her desperation to solve the case leads her directly into the path of the killer; from this point I was absolutely gripped. The killer is terrifying and had already murdered at least six women before he encounters Kate after already warning her off. The killer is absolutely terrifying and his attacks are brutal.
"A stunning debut; I can’t wait to see what is next from this author."
Lastly if I have missed anyone's comments on anything I am sorry. Please do message me if you would like to review Briguella or ask me any questions.
Best wishes & happy reading!

Advanced readers needed please x
Hi everyone, It has been a while since I posted a blog. I've been locked away in my office busy completing my second novel and have also had a tough time of late personally.
However, I am now ready to get back on form and share my novel. With that in mind, I am looking for advanced readers.
It is certainly much darker than my debut Briguella and involves the sinister dark web with a revenge plot.
So, if you are interested in psychological crime thrillers my book could be of interest. I would love to share it with you. Please message me if you would like to be one of my early readers.
Thanks for your support and my apologies for being quiet for a while.

KILL LIST PUBLICATION DAY!
I'm thrilled to announce that today is publication day for Kill List.
Kill List
The first reviews have been fantastic. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read it!
Emilia has a secret hobby; killing.She's hunting the Dark Web gamers who stole her life. The players underestimated Emilia's will to survive and her thirst for vengeance. It's her game now. Her rules, her kill list, and she has an unlikely accomplice teaching her how to get away with murder. But revenge has a price that's both breathtaking and disturbing. Will Emilia overcome betrayal and tragedy to settle the score and end the game?
Go grab yourself a copy https://amzn.to/31izpEh
and enjoy my twisted mind!
