A.S. Bond's Blog

Hello everyone!

Yes, it's been a while, but sometimes life just doesn't play ball. Anyway, for the 622 of you who have Patriot on your 'must read' list, you should know that I have re-edited it, reworked it, and relaunched it as CONSPIRACY CALL! There's a new cover, too, so let me know what you think!
All this heralds a new start here at Brook Kinley HQ. An audiobook version is in production, plus the next-length Brooke Kinley adventure. If you want to get a taste of that, you can buy the book (if you haven't already) as the first chapter can be found there. Alternatively, sign up for my Reading Group at http://bit.ly/3YFtaZn No spam, I promise, but there will be a first sight of new adventures and opportunities to be a beta reader later in the year!

Thanks to all my lovely readers,
A.S. Bond.

I'm currently working on my third novel in the Brooke Kinley Adventures series, which will be out later this year (2017). Like Patriot, the bestselling first title in the series, it will be a full-length adventure thriller set in more unusual locations, with plenty of action and suspense! Cover reveals and previews to follow for anyone who signs up to my mailing list at www.brookekinleyadventures.com. No spam, ever, I promise!
