A group of Thrillers

My current thrillers include The Witness, The Cellist and The Photographer.  I am writing two more, one already complete and waiting to be published later this year with the fifth being written at the moment.

Although one of my main characters is a detective, she is not the main focus.  In fact she didn't appear in The Witness, that book focused mainly on the antagonist Mr Mac.

It was not my intention to write a series of crime novels that closely follows the detectives and the police investigation.  I try to highlight the plight of the other characters including the antagonist.  This raises some very uncomfortable situations as we delve into the world of criminals.  It amazes me just how cruel we can be to each other and this often involves unspeakable violence towards women.  

Having said that, each book sees the development of various characters and we are sometimes reminded of who came before.  Josie MacDonald for example from The Witness is often referred to and sometimes makes a cameo appearance.

Mia Ashton and her father Terry from The Cellist and places like White Lace and Promises, a bridal shop, appear time and time again.

Raymond Duval and his 'Restaurant for Lovers' is another favourite.  I like to slip him and his restaurant into the plot from time to time 

Its important to keep these characters and places alive because their input can be invaluable especially when driving the plot forward.  It also adds continuity as favourite characters make an appearance.  

I've had positive comments from readers who are delighted by this.   I also think that if you have created strong and interesting characters then why not exploit them.  

All of my books are available as paperbacks and on Kindle from Amazon.  Paperbacks can also be sourced from online bookshops such as Waterstones and Barnes and Noble or pop into high street book shops and order a copy.

The Photographer

Yesterday my stock of books arrived so after signing copies I spent the day delivering them.  Unfortunately, due to restrictions, I can't have a book launch so all my promoting has been done on-line.

The Photographer is another gripping thriller featuring characters from both The Witness and The Cellist.

These books can be ordered from Amazon and other on-line bookshops such as Waterstones and Barnes and Noble.

Happy Reading.

 

The Thrillers, how it all began

The idea for a novel was rolling around inside my head and to exercise the spirit so to speak, I decided to paint a picture just to see what would happen.  Josie MacDonald was the name of this character.  She was also a painter, but that's another story!

She was now real, no longer an idea and it was as if she was expecting more, so I had no choice, I had to write her story.    

The painting was used to create the cover for the book.

The Cellist came next with characters from The Witness coming alive once again.  I was on a roll and as ideas spilled onto the page new characters were introduced some of whom would become the mainstay of future adventures.  

I didn't want to end up writing police dramas.  Naturally because of the nature of each book the police element is very important, but I try to focus on the other characters, tell their stories leaving the police investigation to play out as a natural backdrop to the book.

 The Photographer is the next book in the series.  It focuses mainly on professional photographer Matthew Cunningham and his girlfriend Fashion Journalist Libby Ellis.  Again I had fun telling their story with the help of a few new characters. 

There is another novel, a thriller finished and sitting in a drawer in my study.  It has a working title and of course features many of the characters from the previous books.  This one will probably be published next Autumn, by which time a further book will be completed.

It was my aim to write five books in this series, but if I can keep the ideas coming and the plot fresh then I suppose it could go on for a while longer.  My reader numbers and feedback will probably determine the future of these thrillers.

Each book is a standalone novel, but I suppose it would make more sense to read them in order.

Happy reading everyone!

 

 The Photographer

 

Printing bookmarks for my new thriller The Photographer. 

Each time I sell a signed copy I include a custom made bookmark.  I have done this for all my books.

I usually have a book launch inviting up to 100 people, but due to the Covid pandemic this was impossible so I had to rely on social media to help launch my book.

The launch date was 30th November, just in time for Christmas but all the local seasonal fayres were cancelled.  This did nothing to help me market my book or raise my profile locally.

Hopefully next year will be better for all of us.
