Hi, Ben, thanks for friending me on Goodreads. My new crime novel, Death Comes Calling, is now available from Kindle ebook and paperback form, so please feel free to take a look via the Amazon UK link at the bottom.The Kindle price is £2.99 and the paperback price is £9.32.
A successful career woman is found dead on the floor of her North London kitchen with her throat brutally slashed. Beside the body lies a half-open razor with a single droplet of blood at the tip of an otherwise pristine blade.
However, the forensics prove this razor can’t be the murder weapon, and when another successful career woman is found murdered a few days later, again in her kitchen, again with her throat cut and again with a blood-tipped half-open razor placed beside her body, Detective Chief Inspector John Gore of the Metropolitan Police fears he has a potential serial killer on his hands.
As the body count rises the pressure is mounting on Gore to quickly find and stop the killer.
Meanwhile someone is sending him taunting notes, each headed, Death Comes Calling, and Gore begins to realise the killer is playing mind games not just with the police, but with him personally. The question is…why?

Thanks, Tom.
MERRY CHRISTMAS & Happy New Year to you and your family!
Let your cherished dreams come true in 2019 :-)

Thank you for accepting my friend request. We were friends in a previous Goodreads account that is no longer in use. I have been updating my author profile/presence and it was simpler to close some accounts and open new ones. Look forward to sharing.
Thank you, for such a lovely, well thought out request. I absolutely look forward to learning more about your writing and the books you recommend. My tastes in reading and writing tend to run a bit on the eclectic side, so if it’s a good story, I’ll read it. And most definitely, thank you for your friendship. Happy writing and reading to you.
Thank you for the friend request! It is nice to meet you! I love reading different genres as well, and look forward to your book recs!Dove

Hiya Ben, check out my new book, Gozo Is the Grass Greener, published yesterday and hot off the press! https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Hope all is well with you, all the best, Freya
Hi Ben -Thanks for the invitation. My favorite book? I have a few and sometimes they change with my mood. I love Knight in Shining Armor by Jude Deveraux. I enjoy Clive Cusller. Dirk Pit is my kind of guy. And Sherlock Holmes. See, a mixed bag.
I write medieval romance, about strong women and the men who deserve them.
Thanks again for the invite and I'm looking forward to chatting.
Hi Ben, Thanks for friending. My reading tastes are all over the place as well, but I tend to read a lot of romance, not surprisingly since I am an erotic romance author. Looking forward to chatting. :)
Hi Ben, thanks for the friending. HOW did you get those social media buttons on your page under 'about me'?Patg
Thanks for the friending, Ben. I'm an author too, I write about the travel industry. NO, not pilots, stewardesses or tour escorts. :)Patg
Hi, Ben! Thanks for adding me as a friend. It's nice to meet you. :)I enjoy reading a lot of the same genres as you!
Thanks for the friendship, Ben! It's very nice to meet you. I am on Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr under Victoria Clapton. I look forward to following you and hope to see you there.
Hi Ben. It's nice to meet you too. I use Twitter to try to promote my books and my blog posts which are here on Goodreads and on my website too. I also have a face book page for my writing. I have my books on a few really good book promotion sites: promocave, beezeebooks and ask david.Good luck with your writing too! Angela.
Hi Benthis is Miranda
I have a Facebook page called Mooniana and the Secret of the Lost Chronicles of Sophia
Also a page called Miranda Moondawn.
Hope to see you there.
Thanks for the friend request. I see you've issued lots! I doubt I can tell you anything about social networking. I'm ignorant of most of that. Goodreads and Facebook are as much as I've dabbled in. I'm more likely to learn from you!~ :-) H
Thank you for the friend request and the interesting questions, Ben. I will answer in more detail. judithwermuth.wix.com/judith

Hello Ben,Thank you so much for the message, and for the friend request. It's always nice meeting new people here. I also love a broad range of genres, so I'm looking forward to your reviews. Good luck with your book, I'm certain we can all use it.

Hi Ben,Thanks for the friend request.
I am also interested in marine conservation.
I created a list on Listopia here, for wreck diving books, so if you can think of any please feel free to add them. And I created another list called Cutty Sark for books mentioning the tea clippers.
I might see you at an SF convention sometime!
Ben, thanks so much for your lovely message when sending your friend request! I look forward to all of your updates!Also, I'm a writer! ^_^ I just so happen to write contemporary romance novels so if you're ever looking for something to sink your teeth into:
Twisted Illusions: Part I of the Twisted Trilogy
Hope to hear from you soon! <3
Thanks for the friendvite! I think genres are so blurred, a paranormal can be historical and political etc. It's always the characters that appeal to me, rather than the setting.
