Better Red Than Dead

by Darren Humphries

Lady Red, the world's most notorious cat burglar.

At least she was until she had a run in with a certain Agent Ward from U.N.D.E.A.D. Now she works as thief for hire for the Greek, a slightly shady shipping magnate with whom she shares a secret guilt. When he tasks her to steal a rival's secrets, she embarks on a criminal enterprise that will take her from the cricket pitches of England to the railways of Russia via the high-security prisons of France.

Set in the world of the United Nations Department for the Enforcement and Apprehension of Demons where magic and technology co-exist, BETTER RED THAN DEAD takes a very different character on a very different journey where the threats are far from otherworldly, but are every bit as deadly. What remains the same is the action, adventure and humour.

About the author

I am English and recently bade a fond farewell to my forties. I have been writing stories since school when I won a parker pen for being shortlisted in a national schools writing competition.

My particular genre of choice wanders around all over the place, but has mainly settled into humorous fantasy and science fiction (or at least I think they're humorous and some people who have kindly left reviews seem to agree).

During any spare time (of which there isn't much since I'm recently widowed and dealing with two children) I edit a website focussed on science fiction television at www.scififreaksite.com and a similar blog on the side.

I then try to cram in a few books on my kindle to read.
