Alice Fraser has everything she needs. A comfortable home. A few good friends. A satisfying career. But when the promise made doesn’t materialise and everything changes at work she finds herself losing control of all she once held dear.

She could have left. She should have left. Instead she decides to dig in, and make life uncomfortable for her tormentor.

Petty revenge, she calls it. And that’s how it starts. But one day she is pushed too far, and once she takes the next step there is no going back.

Book Description

The perfect family… The perfect murders…

A family massacred. A village in mourning. Can anyone sleep safely while a killer is on the loose?

Laura Percival, owner of The Stables, notices something wrong at her friend’s house when out on her morning ride. Further investigation reveals scenes she’ll never forget.

While the police are quick to accuse, Laura is less so, defending those around her as she struggles to make sense of the deaths. And all the time she wonders if she really knew her friends at all.

A chance encounter opens up a line of investigation that uncovers a secret life. One that Laura is much closer to than she ever realised.

A Killer Strikes is a gripping domestic thriller. If you like character-driven action, suspenseful storytelling and dark revelations then you’ll love this exciting novel.

There will be a paperback and hardback available too, but I can’t put those on pre-order, so they are set up and ready to go, I just need to hit the publish button nearer to 1January 2023.

The post #CoverReveal for The Cat That Changed America: The story of P22 Mountain Lion by Tony Lee Moral @TonyLeeMoral #TuesdayBookBlog #kidlit #cats appeared first on Georgia Rose Books.

Alice May Parker moves with her family to the sleepy town of Pacific Grove after her Mom dies, but little does she know the strange and terrifying events to come. When she falls into the bay during a kayaking trip, she is rescued from drowning by the mysterious Henry Raphael. Handsome, old fashioned and cordial, he is unlike any other boy she has known before. Intelligent and romantic, he sees straight into her soul. Soon Alice and Henry are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance until she finds out that Henry is not all what he seems. . .

Now this sounds interesting, doesn’t it, and it’s coming soon on my to-be-read list. It’s a little outside my usual type of reading but I enjoy trying different genres so looking forward to seeing what it’s all about.

One rural village; so many secrets…

Blenthorne nestles in a quiet corner of Cumbria and is home to local entrepreneur, Lizzie Lockwood. Lizzie has returned to the home she loves after an unpleasant hiatus.  She is determined to put the past behind her as she concentrates on her thriving business interests and a fledgling relationship.

Her happy bubble is soon burst by the arrival of tainted newcomer, Helen Anderson who is intent on inveigling herself into Lizzie’s life.  Hot on her heels is investigative journalist, Percival Lynton Whitaker.  As he garners gossip for his impending ‘Reasonable Doubt?’ exposé on Helen, a chance encounter takes him back to a macabre event from yesteryear. Has he inadvertently stumbled across someone who was implicated in a notorious unsolved multiple murder?

Lizzie is far from pleased that the journalist’s focus appears to have shifted.  As events play out, she starts to wonder how well she knows her community.  Maybe Helen is the least of her worries?  Is it possible that among her friends or neighbours lurks a murderer?  For all its tranquil appearance, is Blenthorne harbouring a child-killer?

Author Bio

In 2015, my debut novel, Long Shadows was published.  My second offering was a Victorian thriller, Evil Echoes and my third, a contemporary soon-to-be-published sequel to Long Shadows, although all three books stand alone.

In a past life, I used to tread the boards and shout the odd stage direction.  Currently, I work as a church verger and when I’m not writing, reviewing or blogging, I give talks to local groups and am a volunteer room guide for the National Trust.  I am blessed with a marvellous home life as a wife, mother and grandmother.

The post Cover Reveal for Reasonable Doubt? a mysterious #crime #thriller by Julie Haiselden @juliehaiselden @storywhispers appeared first on Georgia Rose Books.

Teen twin brothers Evan and Simon Resnik are fiercely loyal to each other and share an unusual bond—they experience each other’s emotions as their own and can sense where the other is.

On their dying planet of Tage, scientists work tirelessly on its survival. Like the twins’ parents, Simon is a science prodigy, recruited at a young age to work with the brilliant creator of Scientific Innovations. To the bitter disappointment of their parents, Evan shows no aptitude or interest in science. As a Mindbender, he travels into the minds of scientists to locate buried memories, connect ideas and concepts, and battle recurring nightmares.

When Simon mysteriously disappears, Evan is plunged into a world of loss and unbearable guilt. For the first time, he can’t ‘feel’ Simon—it’s like he no longer exists. Evan blames himself. No one knows that he ignored his brother’s pleas for help on the night he went missing.

A year later, Simon is still gone. Evan lost his twin, but Tage might have lost its last hope of survival when it’s discovered that Simon’s unfinished project could be its salvation. Evan is determined to find him—somewhere—and bring Simon home. Their unusual connection might be more extraordinary than they know, and the key to locating Simon.

First things first though, here is…

The Cover!

Beautifully designed by the team at SilverWood Books I am delighted with it.

The tagline is ~ A Life To Die For

I have loaded below the pdf of the full paperback cover so you can see the wonderful quote on the back from one of indie’s finest…

Thicker than Water – Paperback Cover

The Blurb!

‘Vaguely aware of the tremor in my hand I ran my fingers up through the thick locks of his dark hair. Fear clutched at my heart as I sensed the icy tendrils of grief reaching for me once more.’

As the overseas action steps up a gear for Trent, Emma has her own challenges to face. Loyalties are tested and vengeance sought when she attracts interest from an unwelcome source.

Because someone is coming. Someone who has Emma in their sights.

Someone who will turn her life upside down… forever.

***************

What do you think? Would this entice you to buy it?

As discussed in my previous posts for A Single Step here and Before the Dawn here various bits of music have become associated with writing these books though less so with Thicker than Water, and I’m not sure why. However I do have this for you… (best not to ask…there is no understanding the reasoning in my mind…)

 Ahem…moving on… A Single Step is widely available and is currently at the extraordinarily low price of 99p/99c to entice you into trying this trilogy and can be found here…

Smashwords

Kobo

Before the Dawn is currently only available via Amazon but that will be changing just as soon as I have a moment

Universal link for Amazon

and now finally I can add Thicker than Water to the line up!

It is available for pre-order now and will be released on Friday 18th September 2015!!

Out with the old…

New stuff is coming thick and fast at the moment! After only just revealing the new cover for A Single Step here is a post all about the new cover for Before the Dawn, the second book in The Grayson Trilogy.

My books have recently been described as mysterious and romantic adventure stories and I have always loved an adventure story. It appears I got quite carried away with the action when writing this and while Before the Dawn has received very few criticisms there have been a couple of comments that some of the romantic detail was missing.

So in this busy summer I have given this book a light touch makeover and…ahem…added the desired detail to a couple of the romantic encounters. Always happy to oblige, that’s me 😉

As I discussed in my post revealing the glorious new cover for A Single Step (click here to check that out) there are tracks which are forever linked with various scenes in my writing and for Before the Dawn it’s a bit of an odd one because this is not something I would usually listen to, but at some point, somewhere I heard it and a particular scene plays out in front of me whenever it comes on…

 I should add here that rather bizarrely this music does not accompany any romantic interlude but rather a particularly frightening section of the action – and no, I don’t know why either!

Anyway, talking of action where is this new cover I hear you ask, somewhat impatiently…well here you go…

…and in with the new!

Risks Are There To Be Taken.

Huge thanks again to SilverWood Books for designing this for me – I love it! I’ve put the link to the full pdf of the paperback version below as I showed you with the latest post on A Single Step right here.

If you click to open it you can find out which fabulous author provided the quote for the back of it as well 🙂

Before The Dawn – Final Paperback Cover

So, to the blurb…

‘…he moved closer and slowly ran the point of his blade along my jaw line as he spoke softly, intimately, to me.

“So, you are Trent’s woman. Now that is very…appealing.” I glared back at him silently.’

 There are testing times ahead for Grayson and Trent as trouble threatens Melton Manor. When an attack is made against those on the estate, Grayson gets caught in the middle finding herself and those around her in terrible danger. Terrified when she thinks tragedy has struck again she fights to protect those she now views as family and, suffering bloodshed and pain, confronts her fears – both brought by the enemy and by the one she loves.

I think that tells you all you need to know doesn’t it?? Have I forgotten anything? Probably, you usually do I hear you say…but if you fancy a peek at the wonderful reviews this book has gathered then here is the universal link for Amazon, and just as soon as I have a moment (or two!) I shall be putting this up on Smashwords, Kobo etc as well.

As always I realise I haven’t told you everything I should do. These revelations usually come when on a dog walk or driving around the countryside and are then generally forgotten by the time I get back home. But today I remembered that I had forgotten to tell you all about TSP, or Three Shires Publishing, to give it its full title.

When I decided, a few months ago, to go ahead with doing the 2nd Edition of A Single Step several other decisions came about at the same time. One of which was that I decided to go the whole way and buy my own ISBN numbers. This led onto other decisions having to be made as you need to have a name to publish under in order to buy them.

I wanted a name that separated it from my Georgia Rose persona and yet would still connect with me somehow. I spent days going through every name I could think of and googled each one…you would not believe how many publishing/press companies there are out there!! I was staggered. Anyhow my wonderful BH came in a couple of days later and suggested Three Shires Publishing…I loved it and anxiously went off to google it…what joy! what happiness! It was not already taken – yay!

Why Three Shires Publishing? I hear you ask. Well while we live right in the corner of Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire is 5 miles in one direction and Northamptonshire 4 miles in another. Three Shires Way is a popular walk that comes right past our village…perfect!

So Three Shires Publishing was born. Now I haven’t done anything with that as yet, other than get the ISBN numbers but I’m so pleased I have it in place. It gives me, I think, greater flexibility for the future. I can use different pen names under it, should I wish and I can publish the work of others, if I decide to.

Having my own ISBN numbers is a bonus too. I am going to aim to get my books into libraries in a while and it is, I believe, easier with my own numbers. I am also free to have my books printed elsewhere if I want to rather than relying on Createspace.

I have also gone the whole hog with my new covers too. They have taglines, as you may have already spotted, and quotes, which you haven’t yet had the chance too.

A tagline is a catchphrase or slogan and is especially used in advertising. I found them incredibly hard to come up with particularly when I went off to find examples, and then couldn’t get those out of my head and I thought I’d never come up with anything as good. I ended up bouncing ideas off friends, very much like a game of ping pong (they loved it!), until something eventually came together.

The tagline for A Single Step is ‘Love Comes With Its Own Betrayal’. It adds a nice little something to the cover and is useful to have for future marketing – it’s great on a tweet!

So finally the quote. I scoured reviews and blog posts where my books had been mentioned and amazingly came up with three that I am highly delighted with – it’s quite difficult to find a tight little phrase to use. These are all from authors and you will need to click open the pdf to see who provided the first one, plus you get to see the full loveliness of the paperback cover.

A Single Step – Final Paperback Cover

I think that about brings us up to date, other than to say the cover reveal and 2nd Edition of Before the Dawn is on the way…and I love, love, love this next cover, I hope you do too 🙂
