Eventually, thinking that she has lost the respect of everyone around her, Julie plunges into a deep depression.
However, unknown to Julie, those closest to her are rallying support. She reaches a turning point when her friends reveal that they may have found the real killer. Realising she must act in order to clear her name, Julie joins them in trying to find evidence.

Having a COUNTDOWN on Leon Chameleon PI and the case of the kidnapped mouse
I can't see whether it's priced at 99p or 77p as the prices are not available to people registered on Amazon.com.
Countdown ends on 27th November.
A humorous, animal detective story for 7-12 year-olds.
"When Mr Woodland Mouse mysteriously disappears, Constable Mole is quick to enlist the help of Leon Chameleon, Private Investigator, whose expertise enabled the Pigeon Valley Police to solve the case of the missing canary eggs.
After organising a search, Leon realises that there is only one creature in the valley who can spring the captured mouse from his prison. But just when he thinks Mr Woodland Mouse is safely on his way home, the plan goes horribly wrong..."
All the animal details of food, habits, and lifestyle are true to nature (apart from Constable Mole’s sunglasses!) and the animals solve the crimes using their own natural abilities. Children will absorb much knowledge of the small creatures of Africa without being aware of it.
A section of interesting facts has been added to this second detective story in the Leon Chameleon PI series. It provides valuable and little-known information on chameleons, moles and other creatures featured in the story.

Bargains Galore! Oh yes... I can't quite believe this but if you're into your paperbacks, you can pick up instalments 3 and 4 of the K'Barthan Series on Amazon for £2.06 or about $3.50 respectively. I'm not sure how long this will last so it's probably best to grab 'em while they're hot! The K'Barthan Series is a piece of Adamsian whimsy, humorous science fiction fantasy adventure, with a touch of romance (but no squelchy bits) It's officially aimed at teenagers but the oldest fan who has contacted the athor is 93 and the youngest 10. It goes like this:
One bumbling getaway driver, an ex-gangster, a group of eccentric septuagenarians, two sassy, intelligent women from the wrong version of the universe and a bald, potty-mouthed parrot are all that stands between the indomitable forces of evil and world domination. It's time to save the world, or die trying.
Here are the links for .co.uk lovely readers, you can change to you local version with the 'can't buy that here' button. It's definitely reduced in the US and the UK and I hope the reductions go further!

Just how far would you go for family?
Eleven year old twins Alfie and Rosie Tanner had always lived with their grandmother, believing her to be the only family they had. But, on a rare school trip to the local castle, they would discover that not only did they have a much bigger family than most, but one more powerful than any.
After the twins, along with their best friends Billy and Emma, are chased through the castle by the school bully Charlie Benson, they are guided to a distant magical land. Once there, they are met by a mysterious woman, who tells them that their father is lost, but their mother lives. Although alive, she has been bound by spell, and now serves the most perilous of wizards. A tyrant of a wizard, who in order to rule had dispensed with his entire family, has invoked a law whereby only a certain level of magic is allowed, and is protected by four white faceless guardians.
With no idea where they are, but determined to free the mother they had never known from her bind, the young travellers go on to experience the many wonders, and dangers, of this strange and magical land. Along the way, they are taught magic, make their first ever magical trade, and come face to face with wizards, witches, dragons and giants. They discover that there is much more to their lives than they could ever possibly have imagined, and unwittingly, pay a visit to the most magical place ever known.
Can Alfie and Rosie save their mother? It’s an enormous task, but they're certainly prepared to risk their lives trying.

Hi, I'm running a Kindle countdown deal for Return To Lemuria starting at $0.99 from 14-19 January!Blurb:
Billy Bayer has just alerted the mysterious descendants of an ancient civilisation. A civilisation that claim responsibility for every major historical event.
Billy is taken prisoner by a secret organisation after conspiring against his mob-boss. He is taught how to tap into his extra-sensory abilities and his life changes forever. This newfound power gives Billy the courage to confront his captors and challenge their age-old ideals.
Together with his crew of loyal companions, he devises a plan to thwart the organisation’s very existence. But how can one man stand up to a 12,000-year old prophecy that predicts adversity for all mankind?
The answer, it seems, is hidden deep in the Brazilian Amazonia with anthropologist Dr David Steel, who, together with the FUNAI Foundation, is on a mission to save the endangered tribes from persecution. It’s his research that appears to contain the key to the survival of the human species.

On sale for a limited period at 99p in all ebook formats .
The Mystic Accountants is the second outing for the dwarf rhythm-and-blues band and their jazz-loving, saxophone-playing bog troll leader. They are about to acquire a new band member too, but quite by accident. After all, they hadn’t planned to demolish the mystical Throne of the Dwarf King under the Mountain during one of their gigs, had they? But the choice of punishment was easy: get locked up or go on a more-or-less paid-for quest to find another Throne.
The Quest takes them across Wales, unexpectedly by way of various pubs and a beer festival, until they find … well, that would be telling, wouldn’t it? And the Quest isn’t going to be as easy as it sounds either. The Dark Lord wants to intercept the Throne for purposes of his own, and his minions are in hot pursuit, until they run into a conspiracy to take over the nation of Wales by some Mad Monks.
Will the King of the Dwarves sit on a Throne again? Will the Dark Lord triumph? And will the Mad Monks gain control of the country? (They couldn’t do a worse job than the politicians, I suppose.) Find out in this fast-moving, wisecracking, pun-filled satire on fantasy adventure quests.
It's been described as a thriller with a difference, and for a whole seven days Imperfect Strangers is reduced in price.

Weatherhead is $0.99 beginning today (Countdown Promotion)http://www.amazon.co.uk/Weatherhead-J...
I'm running an Amazon Kindle Countdown Promotion for my second novel, Weatherhead, over the next week. It's only $0.99 beginning today!
I've already gotten some nice positive feedback from my first self-published novel so I'm trying to get some reviews for this latest one.
I tend to dwell somewhere between literary and dark/speculative fiction with a little surrealism and poetics thrown in for good measure.
Here is the requisite plot blurb: Nine months after his wife's death, a man is abducted from his house by a band of violent thieves and taken to a nightmarish city called Weatherhead. There he falls under the dark attentions of the cruel, despotic ruler of the city: the wife he thought dead.
This a love story between a person still living and a person still dead. It is also a hate story between the same, a violent story populated with all manner of ruffians, crimes, running street battles between Love and Hate (a particularly nasty bunch who hang out at soda fountains and dress terribly) and knife-fights between mourning and evening spouses. It is a story of how we remember those who are lost, and how we rebuild those who shattered in life. If life is a place in which we die, what does that make death?
And there you have it!
Thanks for reading this!

The Unexpected Bride (The Brides Book 1)
What's a man to do when his father orders him a bride?
Rebecca Sullivan has been "Becky" all her life, a real hoyden. Her childhood sweetheart taught her to ride bareback and shoot a rifle, but then he chose a "perfect lady" for a wife--a real Southern belle, who's now expecting a baby. Heartbroken, Becky signs up to be a mail-order bride to a Seattle man, sight unseen. She resolves to squelch her hoydenish ways and become a "perfect lady" for her future husband.
If logging-operation owner Isaac Jessup had wanted a bride, he'd have chosen a sturdy frontier woman, not some fragile lady from back East. Ready to explain the mistake, honorable Isaac takes one look into Rebecca's vulnerable eyes...and knows he'll marry her, even though this delicate waif is obviously unsuited for wild Seattle.
Could an unexpected marriage be a match made in heaven?

Review: BESTTHRILLERS.com will be posting this later this week:
The Bottom Line: A provocative cat-and-mouse thriller about cybercrime, hacking culture and the terrifying implications of artificial intelligence.
Can machines think? And if they can, what would happen if they started to lie? Those are the central questions in Carl Goodman’s new thriller, Black Sands.
On an otherwise normal Sunday morning, Jackie - a 23-year-old account executive with a public relations agency - is setting up a photo shoot for Northdale Bank. Suddenly, all hell breaks loose. Moments later, Jackie finds herself running from a man with a shotgun who’s demanding his money.
Who’s the gunman? Why did this happen? Everyone knows banks aren’t even supposed to be open on Sunday.
Enter Carl Goodman’s heroine, Lauren Cassel. She’s a clever attorney who hires hacker Danny Bowen to discover who stole 30 million pounds from her company’s Forex accounts. Danny, a former member of the cyber-terror group Nameless, is exactly the kind of person Lauren needs to find out who - or what - is behind the attacks.
Despite its premise, Black Sands isn’t simply page-after-page of online sleuthing. Goodman manages to create a believable cyber-investigative procedural while focusing most of the action in the real world. Think machine guns, planes and helicopters, and you’ll have a good idea of what to expect. But to be clear, the book’s premise sets it miles apart from your average action thriller.
Last year, Stephen Hawking warned the world that we should fear artificial intelligence, and Black Sands does nothing to allay those fears. There’s no blueprint for the world Goodman has created, which makes riding along with Lauren and Danny such a joy. This is one page-turner that will forever change the way you look at our connected world.

Would children crying keep you awake?
Especially if the children were dead?
A haunted house, a man with a past and a girl called Alice who can cross time.
Then Alice meets Tom who lives in the past and the past and the present begin to collide... with fatal consequences.
This is a ghost story, and a tragedy that happened over a century ago.
And a mystery. Can you solve it?
Inspired by the legends of York (UK)
