Beware the Midnight Train – October release of spooky mystery

https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog...

If you follow the link it’s a short cut to more information about a shivers-down-the-spine mystery. Some of the characters never get to shiver, some are cool even in the face of… of what? Just be careful to check you’re getting on the right train.

In the blog you’ll start to get the ‘feel’ of the book, so please take a look and let me know what you think of the title.

Christian themes throughout, including the error of revenge

Amazon #1 Best Seller in Books>Romance>Time Travel. If you like a romance with a little bit of mystery, a touch of humour and something of the thriller, then please grab a copy and visit another time, another place and find a love that never died.

0.99 in US and UK from 25th August to 31st Hide in Time

Also on Kindle Unlimited so sort of FREE! Christian themes throughout all my books

Now the sneaky peek at the forthcoming release of another Time Travel. Here's the opening sentence:

“From the outside Eleanor saw no discernible reason why Flint Cottage should be dirt cheap to rent.”

If you were offered somewhere that looked like a dream cottage in an English country village and it was dirt cheap, would you take it without viewing it? Perhaps you would if there was usually very little available to rent at a price you could afford? Perhaps you would if you had walked out on a no-good two-timing whatsit and had nowhere else to go? Might it seem like a dream come true?

A ghost story based on truth.

In the US on 4th July you are celebrating: here in the UK we have a General Election. On 5th July, the UK will be reeling from the results – whatever they are.

Many people are worried about the future. I found on my travels earlier this year that our friends in New Zealand and Australia have similar worries to us. Friends in the US and Canada say the same. Thousands of miles away, yet we face similar worries and threats.

Many writers and health practitioners over the years have given us tips on how to cope with worries. As a reader and writer, I would say: read a good book. And it’s true, isn’t it? If you get lost in a book, you’re in another world.

Hop over to the blog and read more and add your thoughts please – we need good tips I think you'll like the blog.

One person who found he was up to his ears in trouble is Chester. Chester manages to get through some horrendous situations but eventually he helps others on the way. As an investigative journalist, he’s come up against a crime gang. And when he gets to New Zealand, he finds life is not quite what he imagined and he narrowly misses… well, I’d better not give out any spoilers.

Welcome Gillian :o)

Thank you.

I am an author and just doing a little research to see how readers find books. It is interesting to see how things change.

I have no connection with this site Faithful Reads .com but they are a good source it seems.

Thank you!

How do you find new Christian themed books to read? I know there are a couple of good newsletters, such as Faithful Reads, but are there more? Or are there other ways you find books?

Sounds great, Steve.

Just read your profile, Steve. Well done you!

Welcome to Goodreads and this group. I hope you will find lots to interest and feed you.

Welcome Kari, and we look forward to hearing from you. Keep going gal!

Welcome, Eve, your books look interesting.

It’s a Wonderful World

https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog...

I’ve recently returned from a trip Down Under and I spent some time at a favourite beauty spot, a café in Scorching Bay, Wellington, New Zealand. Munching brunch, I remembered a scene from one of my books set just around the headland in Breaker Bay which features in

“Suddenly he saw it: the most magnificent roller advancing steadily towards the shore. A shout went up and all paddled furiously towards the beguiling breaker. He caught the wave, stood and steadied himself. The magic carpet took off; he was flying once again. For a few precious moments the exhilaration bore him up to surfers’ heaven – no drug could compare.”

And then something shocking happened.

And it’s reduced to 0.99 in the US and UK from 25th February to 1st March 2024.

Also FREE on Kindle Unlimited.

Yup!

Welcome Thomas, I hope you find books that will inspire you. I've written 6 novels and one book of short stories - so of course I'd recommend them as seemingly light reading but giving the reader a lot of food for thought.

Hi Leslie, congratulations! You might find you'll get more response if you use the Goodreads link to your book - we trust it! It's just above the comment box and says 'add book/author'.

Merry Christmas

https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog...

Something a little different this month as this is the month when many of us will be scratching our heads (or whatever you do when you absolutely have to do some thinking). What to buy for Christmas presents? Easy: a book. It’s something that lasts, can be treasured, can be shared and most of all can bring joy – and that is precisely what Christmas tends to do.

I’ve done your searching for you. Ahem. Three of my paperback books have been reduced in price to the very lowest that Amazon allows for authors in their Kindle Direct Publishing. At their very lowest, the author receives nothing. So that’s me! I’d like them to have been even cheaper but Amazon have to make their money…
