Free eBook, Half Way There and a Big Blog for a Big B’Day

I hope anyone reading this is very well and enjoying some good crime fiction, there’s certainly plenty around at the moment. I’ve personally enjoyed a number of good books this year and looking forward to getting into some more once I’ve made my way through my current read, which has not reached the same heights. As if to put my money where my mouth is, I’m offering one of my books for free this weekend (should be available as you are reading this), so if you want to see if I’m any good or full of nonsense, why not download the eBook of Lightning Bolt and find out for yourself.

Moving onto current Work in Progress, and book 4 of the DI Christie series has reached the halfway point now. This still leaves me a fair way to go, in an ever decreasing timescale to have it out in December, being the festive story that it is. I’ve enjoyed writing this one and as we get closer to this most wonderful time of the year (the shops are certainly getting into the spirit), I hope my writing pace will increase with the motivation of the season.

Those who know me personally will be aware that I am celebrating a significant birthday this year and with such I’ve decided to do a special blog to mark the occasion. Music has been an important part of my life and I love talking to people about the bands, artists, songs and albums that have meant something to me. Taking a slice of inspiration from Nick Hornby’s 31 Songs, I’ve started to compile a list of 50 songs for turning 50 which will share, in sometimes embarrassing detail, the songs that have been important to me through my life. If Desert Island Disks is hard to narrow down to 8, then 50 is still a challenge. I know I’ll miss a few important ones along the way.

Anyway, that’s for another day and I hope you look forward to reading it. Remember to subscribe at the home page to get notified when I post some of these rambling blogs. Occasionally, they can be quite enjoyable…

Thanks again for reading my blog. The free eBook (Lightning Bolt) is available from Friday 11th through to Monday 14th via Amazon – link in the Books section of this website. If you take me up on my offer and have a read, please let me know what you think via the Reviews section of Amazon or via Goodreads. Or both if you’re really cool.
