Free for Easter – ‘London’s Burning’

Happy Easter!

Here’s hoping that you haven’t over-indulged in chocolate, but if you have, what better way to celebrate you obvious lack of will power than curling up with your Kindle, locking the world outside and reading all day!

Go on, you know you want to – I mean, it’s Easter, the gym’s not even open, right?

‘London’s Burning‘, the third Rose Red Rhymes crime thriller short is FREE today (and until Thursday), so what are you waiting for?

Get it here now.

LONDON_Burning

With a pile of serious crimes to investigate and limited resources, Red isn’t too happy when The Super drops yet another case on her desk – especially as most of the incidents haven’t happened on their patch – but what the Super wants…

The lure of overtime for the team just about clinches the deal.

A series of arson attacks across the city have left buildings in ruins, vagrants almost murdered in their sleep and The Met perplexed, Superintendent Blake wants Red to work her magic and triumph where other branches have failed and he’s given her a fortnight to do it. Red never fails at anything, except maybe, convincing Pippa that the kids are old enough to make their own decisions and that they should let them – that’s one battle she’ll never win.

 

Happy birthday Mr. Kindle – Five years on…

Yes, I know, right!

Was there EVER a time when we read proper books? I mean, with actual pages? Surely not?

It’s a bit like when I tried to explain to my nephew the other night that we only had three tv channels once upon a time. He just stared at my from beneath his floppy fringe and grinned – like I was making stuff up. It took a show of solidarity from my sister and brother-in-law to convince him that such a Draconian thing was possible.

Happy birthday to yoooooou.

This little beauty is five today.

Capture

Yes, five.

And everything has changed. Forever.

I’m not going to talk about the publishing industry in general, my long-suffering writer mate Mark Williams bangs on about that enough over at his blog, so I’ll leave that to him, but the digital landscape is not the same as it was when the Kindle first hit the virtual shelves, that’s for sure.

One thing that hasn’t changed however, is that Sugar & Spice was – and always will be – the first indie title to reach number two in the Kindle store.

Yep, our very own baby is all grown-up and to celebrate, Amazon are doing some birthday promo for us. Check it, and other featured titles, out on their home page here.

Of course, nothing ever stays the same and the Kindle is no exception. With the advance of technology, the latest offering from the Amazon boys and girls is a super-duper far cry from the beast that first brought us e-reading. Their new Kindle Voyage is an all-singing and dancing star of an ereader and a million years ahead of anything else out there.

It might even make you a cuppa.

So, what’s next? And well you might ask, but I don’t have a crystal ball. We didn’t know back then, that we’d be translated into a multitude of different languages, have hit the top spot in China and go on to sell over a million books. Crazy eh?

Nobody can know what the future holds (despite what Mr. Williams will have you believe) but we know one thing: people will always love to read – however they choose to do it, and whilst they love to read, we gotta keep writing! 😉

IndigoHadi_CVR_SML

Yup, you read/heard that right.

Indigo children ~children believed to possess special, unusual and sometimes supernatural traits or abilities.

The INDIGO KIDS: Seven special children – one mission. Through time and space, seven uniquely talented children are called together. Connected by an invisible thread and each with a special gift, they are given a supremely important job: To save the world. They are the chosen ones. They are – the Indigo Kids.

PART TWO – HADI (approximately 22,000 words) – Hadi is a geek. He’s always been a geek. With few friends and growing up in a rapidly evolving Egypt, Hadi’s only escape is into the world of computers. A world where he is King and he feels safe. When the mysterious grey man turns up at his mother’s door and offers him a coveted place at a clandestine institute, Hadi has no choice but to take it. There, he starts to uncover secrets that will change his life – and possible everyone elses – forever. He is being called – they are being called.

It’s time for the beginning of the end. It’s time for…. Awakenings.

“Answer, my children – answer as if your heart would break. Answer the shades, the hues, the petrol blues. Answer the call…of Indigo.”

Parts 1-4 JAX, STARR & CECI are out now! Part 5 – HARMONY is coming soon! Ming & Xi & Shai will be released before the summer and Book 2 – Paragon & Book 3 – Nirvana will follow.

**Warning – this is Young/new adult fantasy/sci-fi/paranormal. It may contain some mild sexual references and/or profanities.**

So tell your friends, tell the kids – it’s FREE. What are you waiting for?
