Hola folks,

Last month I released a short story on Kindle called, The Cucumber Man. It is a fun little dark comedy/horror story that I wrote for a laugh with a few friends.

Check it out, it'll only take you 10 minutes to read and it is only 99p (or your country's equivalent) on Kindle, and please leave a review on Amazon and Goodreads when done.

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it..:)

Hey Fiona,
I've only seen the first two, but I really liked them. Obviously being Russian, they weren't your usual Hollywood influenced blockbusters, which was cool. That's why I thought the books would be good too. So you reckon stick to the films, yeah? lol

Hi!
Yeh, I read the Day, Night & Twilight watch - they were OK - nothing spectacular. I bought the fourth book in the series but never bothered to read it. I reckon the film would be better, were they good?
