A couple more reviews in for BAPTISM. The Peterborough Evening Telegraph says: "This thriller has more twists than a bagful of snakes – and as much bite...A must read." The Crime Fiction Lover web site describes it as "a novel of almost unbearable tension...audacious and ambitious" (4 stars). The latter review can be read in full here: http://bit.ly/MQtPQp.

The September round-up of news on my web site includes links to various blog discussions and reviews of BAPTISM (along with details of the US premiere of the musical, HOOKED, that I co-wrote).

Kinnings imbues his book with the sounds, smells, and heartbeats of human fear. He captures the memories of life people – we – fear to lose. Let’s hope his imagination isn’t ‘one step ahead’ of the terrorists’.

This and more news for October here:

‘The author is a lecturer in Creative Writing at Brunel University and his technical skills are clearly evident in this nerve-racking, impeccably researched and violent thriller. The chapters are very short, switching from George to the terrified passengers (who include George’s wife) to the various people involved in the negotiations, with the time line, precise to the minute, at the head of each chapter. This is a masterly technique which ratchets up the suspense to an almost unbearable level.’ Radmila May

For those of you who might be curious as to what I get up to as a lecturer in Creative Writing, here's a link to a video of me talking at the Digital Humanities Summer School at Oxford University a few weeks ago.
