I hope you are having a great festive season, this being that time of year! I am writing this blog on Xmas Day/Boxing Day (depending on where you are in the world!) as I thought I would try to add some good cheer!

Earlier this month I announced the Free Prize Draw for the pre-release Audiobook version of my 'gripping', 'dark', 'gritty' British Crime Thriller, Remorseless, and have already had some wonderful feedback from early listeners.

To celebrate and to thank my followers on Goodreads for their interest I have decided that everyone's a winner in this draw. Okay, I know - life's really not like that but today I am making an exception! Consider this a Xmas gift from me to you!

If you have not yet registered there is still time - head here to grab your free download link! You'll find an audio clip there, some additional blurb on the audiobook plus some info regarding my Readers Group.

If you don't want to provide your email address then just message me on here and I will send you the audio file download link in a private message. No problem!

I have just made the eBook free on major retailers too, including Amazon.com, so feel free to grab that if you are not a fan of audiobooks!

I hope you are having a wonderful festive season and I wish you much health and happiness for 2016!

Well, it has been an eventful two months since I last posted here, with a lot happening since the official launch of the audiobook of Remorseless at the end of December. I decided to temporarily reprice the ebook to $0.00 to help boost the visibility of both editions, and also had this new cover design by Brian Krespan to make the image 'pop' more as the original was little dull. Thank you Brian!

I have been stunned by the results: over 40,000 copies of the ebook have been downloaded - and I've been delighted to receive so many compliments from readers who enjoyed my rather dark, disturbing tale. Thank you for reading, for your kind words and especially for the reviews, both here and at Amazon and other retailers.

The free status will remain for the time being, and with Whispersync on offer for just $1.99, the ebook/audiobook combo is currently a steal!

I am mulling over increasing the ebook price but it remains free for now, so if you would like a copy, or have friends who might enjoy this gritty tale, then I'd recommend acting without delay.

The Rap Sheet

I recently wrote a Story Behind the Story piece for The Rap Sheet, a cracking website with many great articles on crime fiction - a site I highly recommend for avid readers of this genre.

Here's a brief excerpt from my article on psychopaths, guilt and the background to Remorseless:

"During a three-month period toward the end of 2015, I spent some time as a psychopath..."

Intrigued? Well, head to The Rap Sheet to read on...

Enjoy!
