Over the past few years, I have been writing—but leaving the completed manuscripts tucked away on my PC. Somehow, publishing them slipped off the agenda. Now I have woken up to discover that I have eight books, spanning several genres, ready to meet their readers.
When exactly did I become a small publishing house? • If you enjoy contemporary AI thrillers, try Artifice, where ambition, intelligence and revenge combine as AI is used to destabilise society; or AI Quint, a story of digital identity, grief technology and increasingly unpredictable behaviour. Can a planned stock-market flotation contain a promising AI development before it escapes its creators’ control? • If you prefer dark, unsettling fiction with a twist, read Short Sharp Shock!—thirteen stories designed to surprise, unsettle and linger. • If you enjoy human-centred crime fiction, Displaced and Denounced offers two stories of identity, injustice and resilience. Both are modern reimaginings of two of Charles Dickens key novels, demonstrating the enduring relevance of his vivid characters and dramatic plots. • Living History is a four-book journey through four centuries of modern British history. Each volume begins with a personal connection and explores the wider forces and historical truths that helped shape the United Kingdom today.
Rather than post eight separate introductions - and further question my life choices = I made a short video presenting the whole collection. If you enjoy watching an author pretend this was all part of a coherent plan, you can find it here: https://youtu.be/A1KGiyyjqVA or for more information see https://bobdenton.com/september-2026-...
All eight books are now fully available worldwide on Kindle.
I would love to know whether the video makes the books sound intriguing and mysterious - or simply like the work of someone who should be permitted to write only under supervision, and perhaps limited to haiku.
Over the coming month, selected titles will be offered at a special launch price of 99¢ in the USA and 99p in the UK. If you read one, I would be delighted to see your review up on Kindle. Bob Denton
