I like your book choices. Would you like to check out my crime thriller STITCH UP! - KILLER OR VICTIM?, which has received glowing reviews, including one from The Sun newspaper's Stuart Pink who says it has "a riveting plot and electrifying double twist". There's also my fantasy adventure SECRET POTION, which has received excellent reviews and been recommended by other authors for Harry Potter fans. Your feedback would be welcomed. Best wishes, Tony Flood, also the author of celebrity book My Life With The Stars - Sizzling Secrets Spilled!
