last weeks post about the </span><i style="font-family: "New serif", serif;">Cold Day Dawning</i><span style="font-family: "New serif", serif;"> character of Antoni, I’ve
been asked by a couple of people to elaborate on my own PTSD experience which
informed Antoni’s character development. Happy too.</span></p><p class="yiv6701664202ydp6430f8c5msonormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="yiv6701664202ydp6430f8c5msonormal" style="outline: none !important;"><span style="outline: none !important;"><b><i><span style="font-family: "New serif",serif;">Trigger
warning – some reader might want to skip what follows.</span></i></b></span><b><i><o:p></o:p></i></b></p>
<p class="yiv6701664202ydp6430f8c5msonormal" style="outline: none !important;"><span style="outline: none !important;"><span style="font-family: "New serif",serif;">I
won’t go into huge detail because I don’t want to reignite the situation, but
about 11-12 years ago, I encountered someone who bore a grudge against me.
After a short period that involved threats and menacing phone calls, this
person broke into my office, emptied two cans of petrol over my desk and chair
and set fire to it. Long story short, this person was arrested within a few
days, admitted to the whole thing, and went to jail.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="yiv6701664202ydp6430f8c5msonormal" style="outline: none !important;"><span style="outline: none !important;"><span style="font-family: "New serif",serif;">Although
it was a shock at the time, it didn’t seem to bother me too much in the
beginning. I was made to go for counselling by my employers, but it did nothing
for me (not least because the counsellor spent most of the sessions telling me
about her holidays – but that’s another story.) It was a few months later that
I started to feel the impact. Nightmares. I was angry a lot of time. I didn’t
trust the people I encountered at work. I withdrew and didn’t want to go out. I
became security obsessed. It all culminated in some suicidal thoughts, which is
when I finally asked for professional help. Getting help was only the beginning
of a long recovery process and although I’ve processed it, I still get
triggered occasionally.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="yiv6701664202ydp6430f8c5msonormal" style="outline: none !important;"><span style="outline: none !important;"><span style="font-family: "New serif",serif;">When
this person was first released from prison, they went on to commit an even more
serious violent offence against someone else, which brought a lot of my anxiety
back. They went to prison on an even longer sentence, but when they escaped
from custody a couple of years ago, I wasn’t allowed to go into work until they
were apprehended.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="yiv6701664202ydp6430f8c5msonormal" style="outline: none !important;"><span style="outline: none !important;"><span style="font-family: "New serif",serif;">They
are next due for release in two years time.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="yiv6701664202ydp6430f8c5msonormal" style="outline: none !important;"><span style="outline: none !important;"><span style="font-family: "New serif",serif;">So
that’s basically it. Although I’ve never written about what happened directly,
I can see that it’s influenced a lot of the stories and characters I have
created. My first novel <i style="outline: none !important;">Closer by
Morning</i> is very dark. I wrote it as I was still recovering, and I
think it reflects the troubled place I was in at the time. I was certainly able
to draw on those difficult times to write about what Antoni goes through in the
aftermath of <i style="outline: none !important;">Deep Waters</i> and
during <i style="outline: none !important;">Cold Day Dawning</i>. I don’t
think PTSD defines me or my books. I write romance stories, but I’ve had a life
long love of thrillers and horror which have always been huge influences. I
think I’ve been able to harness the PTSD experience and process it in a
positive and cathartic way.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="yiv6701664202ydp6430f8c5msonormal" style="outline: none !important;"><span style="outline: none !important;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV-WVmO6glEflkh-e_eJIxgLSfJf2Ie9m4LHB0KEeuPyGVYNumBnviWmV6DVE7s8rE2ecL75Hw7QnwVRlD7pfbTvznqEPHiXvnzT5mxDVsEl7d0jNwDG0SX0ECBcRG4WV_pjv89PnNkFVsbVFiuym-DoTmIevdAtjXUtFX9FNECSSPCKK0eAWcOQ2ZXHsL/s851/closerbymorning_facebook.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="315" data-original-width="851" height="118" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV-WVmO6glEflkh-e_eJIxgLSfJf2Ie9m4LHB0KEeuPyGVYNumBnviWmV6DVE7s8rE2ecL75Hw7QnwVRlD7pfbTvznqEPHiXvnzT5mxDVsEl7d0jNwDG0SX0ECBcRG4WV_pjv89PnNkFVsbVFiuym-DoTmIevdAtjXUtFX9FNECSSPCKK0eAWcOQ2ZXHsL/s320/closerbymorning_facebook.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "New serif", serif;">If
anyone is going through that kind of thing now, I can only offer my best
wishes. There’s a lot of help available but it’s not always the right help, or
the help you need at the time, but it’s better to reach out and tell someone.
As I said above, recovery is a long process, it takes years, but for me
acknowledging something was wrong and talking about it, was a great beginning.</span><p></p><p class="yiv6701664202ydp6430f8c5msonormal" style="outline: none !important;"><o:p></o:p></p>

on a happier note, the reviews for <i style="outline: none !important;">Cold
Day Dawning</i> are fantastic. I’m delighted that the book is being so
well received.</span> Last week I sent the final book in the series to my
publisher, and they have fixed the release date already. <i style="outline: none !important;">Jagged Ends</i> (Jagged Shores 5) will be
out on 30<sup style="outline: none !important;">th</sup> April next year. I
can’t say too much about it yet. It’s another standalone romance, but if you’ve
enjoyed the series so far, I can promise the return of some favourite
characters before the series reached an end.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "New serif", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Antoni was easy in a way as he had already
appeared in a supporting role in the previous book <i>Deep Waters</i>. I
make detailed notes and bios of all my characters, so I already knew his
backstory. The challenge this time was to discover how his injuries in the last
book had impacted upon him.</span><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "New serif", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Antoni is a photographer who runs a gallery in
the town centre with his brother Roger. He was left in a critical condition at
the end of <i>Deep Waters</i> with serious injuries. When we meet him
again, his physical wounds have healed but the mental scars have left a more
lasting impact. He suffers from anxiety attacks, lack of appetite and has
trouble sleeping, but he’s a survivor and is slowly rebuilding his life with
support from his family and friends.</span><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

for this. I went through an event in 2012 that left me with PTSD for a several
years afterwards. While my own experience was more psychological than physical,
I was able to tap into that to address Antoni’s circumstances in this book.</span><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3paf2KPMZEj8qAm4t9gDVLcFyqPsWwX8cueLqfjRmBevO-4QW4mepmjRB6zOAiSmX6LoEsYi04sdHyr6dDTPtrkakQPzqE2CIMuw-qCn076OiUQy8-m07XhEOuiRPeLD1WGYHG9JEpRlhy2TaDcViIuCtwAQhUS4cDnAlMWqkf3tPeN_hsYNHENVgXQu1/s2971/20230831_122604.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2971" data-original-width="2936" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3paf2KPMZEj8qAm4t9gDVLcFyqPsWwX8cueLqfjRmBevO-4QW4mepmjRB6zOAiSmX6LoEsYi04sdHyr6dDTPtrkakQPzqE2CIMuw-qCn076OiUQy8-m07XhEOuiRPeLD1WGYHG9JEpRlhy2TaDcViIuCtwAQhUS4cDnAlMWqkf3tPeN_hsYNHENVgXQu1/s320/20230831_122604.jpg" width="316" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtSXsq6GOQKqq0fUKLDXAp5GcAeS2KDH_VbJPEuUQie2pw0oQKPpaKRXJ9qM3v6ISUxa0r7AL9zFkKc_Y_-O80bpgjpKh5V6LTHnkESB-q2iVvHgTuQvaBXM8ttkoaRcTAy0BEp1AwP5pPyEtvtGfNjtUTrzofCOkVDBooY8rfs_fTGs9rD_GXhJcJKeIs/s4026/20230830_190419.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4026" data-original-width="3060" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtSXsq6GOQKqq0fUKLDXAp5GcAeS2KDH_VbJPEuUQie2pw0oQKPpaKRXJ9qM3v6ISUxa0r7AL9zFkKc_Y_-O80bpgjpKh5V6LTHnkESB-q2iVvHgTuQvaBXM8ttkoaRcTAy0BEp1AwP5pPyEtvtGfNjtUTrzofCOkVDBooY8rfs_fTGs9rD_GXhJcJKeIs/s320/20230830_190419.jpg" width="243" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: "New serif", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "New serif", serif; font-size: 12pt;">I plan all of my stories and characters in
project books. No modern software or folder structures for me – it’s all done
on pen and paper. I use a lot of actors and models to give the physical
features for the characters. Again, I’m very old school with this, printing and
cutting out photos of people I like.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "New serif", serif; font-size: 12pt;">So Antoni already had a detailed bio and
physical description from my <i>Deep Waters</i> story notes. For this
book I had to update them with what he’d been through since and where he was
right now.</span><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

they get to know each other and their relationship develops, Antoni and Dalton
are plunged into a twisted mystery that put both their lives at risk.</span><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

series is out now. I love this book and am so happy it’s out in the world. The
early reviews are all great and I’m sure readers are going to love it as much
as the other novels in the series. The timing couldn’t be better because in the
same week book 4 is published, I’m doing my final edit on book 5 before sending
it off to my publisher. Like the books that have gone before, you can expect
drama, danger, romance, suspense and hot sex. I love returning Nyemouth for each
instalment: breathing in the sea air, walking along the cliff tops, enjoying all
the great food in the bars and restaurants along the harbour. It will be a
bittersweet moment when I leave the town and series behind, but I’m not quite
there yet.</span></p>

Dalton Caine makes the long journey to Nyemouth to attend a party hosted by his
sister. Catherine is estranged from most of the family, but Dalton feels the
time has come to build bridges between them. Things don’t turn out how he wants
when Catherine gives him a cold reception at the party, but the evening is not
a complete waste of time when he meets local photographer Antoni.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

months earlier, Antoni has struggled with his physical and mental recovery.
Catherine’s party is the first time he had been out at night since and he’s
ready for an early exit when he meets Dalton. The stranger is warm, friendly
and incredibly handsome. When Antoni overcomes his reservations and accepts a
drink at Dalton’s hotel, it could be the start of something new for both of

things soon take a darker turn. The morning after the party, Catherine’s
boyfriend reports her missing. Dalton isn’t initially concerned. Catherine has
disappeared of her own will before and he’s more interested in getting to know
Antoni, but the men soon find themselves at the centre of a twisted mystery,
one that puts both of their lives in danger.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

a quick update as we approach the end of July. I hope everyone has enjoyed a
great summer. Depending on where you are in the world that might not be so good
if you’re enduring the terrible heat waves. Where I live in the UK is quite the

character from <i>Deep Waters</i>, there are a few minor spoilers involved, though
nothing major.</span><p></p>

I want to give the readers all the familiar elements they enjoy while still doing something different each time. With the Jagged Shores series I try to do that by using the same location, my fictional coastal town of Nyemouth and a handful of recurring characters, while introducing new characters, relationships and themes with each story. Deep Waters is murder mystery from the opening chapter while exploring secrets and prejudices of the small town. In the first town novels Nyemouth is presented as a picture perfect seaside town, but in Deep Waters we get to see some of the dark undercurrents that run beneath the surface.</span><p></p><p class="yiv2149566076ydpda399b80MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: arial; font-size: 16px;">In this book we get to meet our main characters right at the start. Christian Coster is 42 years old. He’s a journalists and novelist from Manchester. Christian is friends with Dominic, the hero of North Point, and is visiting Nyemouth on Dominic’s recommendation. He’s seeking inspiration for his next book and hires a local boatman and tour guide to give him a flavour of the area. Harry Renner is 29, a local boy who runs his own boat out of Nyemouth harbour. Harry is hardworking, independent and single. Though both men are attracted to each other, the difference in their ages stops them from taking the issue seriously. However, they are quickly united in a common cause when they attempt to rescue an injured young man from the sea and become embroiled in a murder mystery.</p><p class="yiv2149566076ydpda399b80MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: arial; font-size: 16px;">For anyone who is interested in the process of creating a novel, here’s a peak at my note book for Deep Waters and some of the images I used to inspire the characters. I also found it necessary to draw a map of Nyemouth to keep the geography clear in my head. This is something I should have done before book one and I’ll definitely be more organised when it’s time to start a new series.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRoPvan-PkzXJeNiLHzr3JsLjcTQBSpYpBjU65yC-uHz0udtMT8VQAk8XfElB3rT_nZicewU4UeAjykuggNFPrkNzUR-2pE7PM9j1nQLorOef9kkCIm7X6_mOQSKr8clpWyavmow7qGWeJKqKno74SxLtc-SCXha60G5qzfDq6HTbcWCq0yyzfnoyCJg/s765/blog%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="669" data-original-width="765" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRoPvan-PkzXJeNiLHzr3JsLjcTQBSpYpBjU65yC-uHz0udtMT8VQAk8XfElB3rT_nZicewU4UeAjykuggNFPrkNzUR-2pE7PM9j1nQLorOef9kkCIm7X6_mOQSKr8clpWyavmow7qGWeJKqKno74SxLtc-SCXha60G5qzfDq6HTbcWCq0yyzfnoyCJg/s320/blog%201.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA9YhweGtwJJBFmuZ5tY0dMwo2WVY0JwfHO1QA0wGC8gDdekh_ye6TGd-VSFt0dxni8App9GANu_HpvjaRUq9oUdhfUBE3Ky_qu6C5Vdrv92EGjXAqhbOg3M8cdlAMtCvSSXunrv07bDwoppsrct68AzGa5GfKMneCYAVrysOiOEeZ2EMd9NUezR-Vhw/s691/blog%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="691" data-original-width="587" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA9YhweGtwJJBFmuZ5tY0dMwo2WVY0JwfHO1QA0wGC8gDdekh_ye6TGd-VSFt0dxni8App9GANu_HpvjaRUq9oUdhfUBE3Ky_qu6C5Vdrv92EGjXAqhbOg3M8cdlAMtCvSSXunrv07bDwoppsrct68AzGa5GfKMneCYAVrysOiOEeZ2EMd9NUezR-Vhw/s320/blog%202.jpg" width="272" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD2lsh6sDuA9tR8LlMpgd-TYvdN-KWnckuNFCawCxe9UZM2OsHyxWUdOlfWBh3_XQzEmp2NqoxuCBO9GaxkmE4gS040DwaF5FfhH_nBKajZj4Kp2oYByg5N94appJEzZC0-kVqwEgdycOjI0wjLQAkq4fvsvoubObxcJC6q2an4rEL8jx3ivyWcDXugw/s789/blog%203.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="630" data-original-width="789" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD2lsh6sDuA9tR8LlMpgd-TYvdN-KWnckuNFCawCxe9UZM2OsHyxWUdOlfWBh3_XQzEmp2NqoxuCBO9GaxkmE4gS040DwaF5FfhH_nBKajZj4Kp2oYByg5N94appJEzZC0-kVqwEgdycOjI0wjLQAkq4fvsvoubObxcJC6q2an4rEL8jx3ivyWcDXugw/s320/blog%203.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p class="yiv2149566076ydpda399b80MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: arial; font-size: 16px;">I’m delighted to say book four is already written and has a publication date of August 2023. The fourth entry is different again in tone and theme, through it retains the thriller elements of the series and a supporting character from Deep Waters returns for a lead role.

all. I’m right in the thick of it with family and friends but wanted to take a
few minutes out for a quick update and to say Deep Waters, the third book in my
Jagged Shores series is released today. The book is available as an ebook and

that book 4 will be published next August. In fact, I got my line edits back

It’s another smart and sexy cover which fits perfectly with the first two books. In the latest instalment we return to Nyemouth, that beautiful town on the north east coast of England for another thrilling story of love, passion and murder. I must admit, while I adore writing about Nyemouth, there’s no way I would want to live there. It’s far too dangerous.</span></div><div class="yiv9800841052MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilX7XGFT-WxfRQrmZyaA4gr8ZFCjbeFVxZd4o63mU-O-qeGUskuf8huFYTnx11vWM5v_wCnuCmHXtZbkBrrKdv8mZgksNqNu2SskceNqhLRLKTZoVq24a0U26zHBpdM-b9gDs4_pi45ybrGjOow5u4LQUQt3h20lBXZU5M6mC9UNKlcsK03QoeZDCimg/s2400/978-1-83943-230-9_DeepWaters_1500x2400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2400" data-original-width="1500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilX7XGFT-WxfRQrmZyaA4gr8ZFCjbeFVxZd4o63mU-O-qeGUskuf8huFYTnx11vWM5v_wCnuCmHXtZbkBrrKdv8mZgksNqNu2SskceNqhLRLKTZoVq24a0U26zHBpdM-b9gDs4_pi45ybrGjOow5u4LQUQt3h20lBXZU5M6mC9UNKlcsK03QoeZDCimg/s320/978-1-83943-230-9_DeepWaters_1500x2400.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="yiv9800841052MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "New serif"; font-size: 12pt;">This is possibly the darkest of the series with a plot involving deep secrets, rage and murder.

The guys are attracted to each other from the start but maintain a professional distance. Things get dramatic while out on Harry’s boat as the weather takes a sudden turn for the worst. As they return to shore, Christian spots a figure in the water, propelling them headlong into a deadly tale of secrets and tragedy.</span></div><div class="yiv9800841052MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "New serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="yiv9800841052MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "New serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">It was a joy to write the developing romance between these guys amid the chaos they find themselves in, as well reconnecting with some of my favourite characters from the series such as Dominic, Arnie, Josh and Jacob.

a revised edition from Amazon in ebook, paperback and KU. If you have already
purchased the previous version, then the new edition should automatically
update in your Kindle library. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">So, what’s new and why?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Well, to make a long story short, the original version
did not go down quite how I planned. My intention was that <i>Storm Warning</i>
would be the first novel in a series set onboard the cruise ship Atlantic Star.
The first few books would be a set of loosely linked standalone romances that
would conclude in a final novel which would tie everything together. As the
first story, <i>Storm Warning</i> set up the format –a standalone love story between
two men, Jamie and Dexter, who meet on the ship. It’s pretty self-contained delivering
the happy ending the guys deserve. A short epilogue at the end of the book set
up the premise for the series and ended on a cliff-hanger.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">And there lies the problem. To say the epilogue didn’t
go down well is putting it mildly. It was trashed. Reviewers who admitted they
liked the book, marked it down for those last few pages. It seemed like
everyone hated it. I should have made it clearer in the marketing that <i>Storm

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I love <i>Storm Warning</i>. I knew soon after
publication, when I abandoned my plans for the series, that I would rework it into
a single title, but it’s taken a little time and distance before I felt able to
look at it again. Now that the disappointment of the original release has
subsided, I’m delighted to present it again in this new version.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">For a limited time the ebook is available for just $0.99</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 107%;"><a href="https://books2read.com/u/mgzly6" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-large;">GET IT HERE</span></a><br /></span></p>Thom Wolfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15467557081364667443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725866213833093848.post-38936794825620248372022-01-27T03:07:00.003-08:002022-01-27T03:07:45.125-08:00OUT NOW: THE RUNNER<p> The Runner.

He hosts a successful weekly podcast has just written the biography of a world class football player. With his career on an upward trajectory, Alex has never been busier. There is no time in his life for love or romance.</p><p style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">Ethan Bower was used to success. As a British sprinter, he won a host of silver and gold medals at the Olympics, European and Commonwealth championships, and spent over a decade at the top. Persistent injuries brought Ethan’s career to an abrupt halt in his mid-thirties. Now he has to start over again. Trying to get his foot in the door of athletics commentary and presenting isn’t easy.</p><p style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">Ethan and Alex have history. Eight years ago, at the height of Ethan’s success, Alex was chosen to ghost write his autobiography. An experience they would both rather forget. Ethan hated what Alex wrote about him; a fact he’s made very public. When Ethan attends the launch of Alex’s latest book, they meet again for the first time in years and something becomes apparent to both of them – they have each improved with age. Now in their thirties, they are older and more mature.</p><p style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">Can they put the past behind them and their ambitions for the future to take a chance on each other now? </p><p style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">121 pages</p><p style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">Publisher: Pride Publishing</p><p style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgo1ucmCOX6SPhclvIYZZBxIJkjvI7tNDgk7ZIjSE9CbdyeiqRwIsU19P5inITdrI_eopoKrkoC3wYr5YDm_JpBqKh83TtnDORGUzek37DM1rpJPjuFjIFjA90KNiFyLz5HI8PpkKEqy3PxkKhKTuXTgh4fbU34ORwuxhKT_DMhXqB8X7AHlWMKs9eBng=s1500" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="1500" height="107" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgo1ucmCOX6SPhclvIYZZBxIJkjvI7tNDgk7ZIjSE9CbdyeiqRwIsU19P5inITdrI_eopoKrkoC3wYr5YDm_JpBqKh83TtnDORGUzek37DM1rpJPjuFjIFjA90KNiFyLz5HI8PpkKEqy3PxkKhKTuXTgh4fbU34ORwuxhKT_DMhXqB8X7AHlWMKs9eBng=s320" width="320" /></a></p><p style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", serif; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">UNIVERSAL LINK:</span></p><p style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", serif; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://books2read.com/u/mddNrX" target="_blank">BUY IT NOW</a><br /></span></p><p><br /></p>Thom Wolfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15467557081364667443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725866213833093848.post-6426864016788950292021-11-08T23:00:00.001-08:002021-11-08T23:00:00.180-08:00OUT NOW: SAFE HARBOUR<p> Safe Harbour, book 2 in the Jagged Shores series is out today.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FnfoNErp_Rk/YU22ToCb-zI/AAAAAAAAMiE/LYTnd3U0a_IrgEEiA5REtngGqy2qVZMDwCPcBGAYYCw/s2048/978-1-83943-162-3_SafeHarbour_1500x2400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1280" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FnfoNErp_Rk/YU22ToCb-zI/AAAAAAAAMiE/LYTnd3U0a_IrgEEiA5REtngGqy2qVZMDwCPcBGAYYCw/s320/978-1-83943-162-3_SafeHarbour_1500x2400.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br /><p><i style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="color: #333333;">Two lovers seek shelter in a storm of jealousy and passion.</span></i></p><p style="background: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0cm 0cm 10.5pt;"><span style="color: #333333;">Matt arrives in the seaside town of Nyemouth for a much-needed vacation.

It feels like forever since I last wrote
an update for the blog. I’ve never been very good at this and prefer to write
about fictional characters than myself. I’ve been hard at work on several
projects, including a huge novel of 130,000 words. I’m currently working on the
second draft of that so it’s a long was from being ready. It hasn’t been all work.
I fit in a couple of lovely breaks away, including a fabulous nine-night cruise
along the west and southern coast of England.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Next up is the second novel in the Jagged Shores
series. North Point is one of my favourite books, so it was a pleasure to return
to the seaside town of Nyemouth for another exciting tale. Safe Harbour will be
published on 9<sup>th</sup> November 2021 by Pride Publishing and is available
to pre-order right night.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>Big news today. North Point is out in paperback and eBook. I
loved writing this book. It’s set in a fictional coastal town called Nynemouth,
very like the place I grew up in Northumberland. I loved everything about that
area of the world. It’s so rugged and romantic and it will form the backdrop
for all of the books in my Jagged Shores series, of which North Point is the
first.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aBC4B4Hodbg/Xv8RoeE953I/AAAAAAAAHrg/2fkGGyBGEP4-a-Mqota2bZ7bPPdEJdLRwCK4BGAsYHg/s2000/NorthPoint_outnow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1333" data-original-width="2000" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aBC4B4Hodbg/Xv8RoeE953I/AAAAAAAAHrg/2fkGGyBGEP4-a-Mqota2bZ7bPPdEJdLRwCK4BGAsYHg/s320/NorthPoint_outnow.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p><br /></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">It should be the start of a perfect vacation. After a
period of stress, Arnie Walker takes his nine-year-old son AJ home for the
holidays. Arnie grew up in Nyemouth, a picturesque fishing town on the
North-East coast of England, and he wants AJ to experience the kind of carefree,
endless summer he enjoyed as a boy. It’s a short-lived dream. While taking an
evening walk along the North Point cliff, Arnie and AJ witness a murder
attempt.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">For the volunteer crew of Nyemouth Lifeboat Station,
it’s a rescue mission like none before, Helmsman Dominic Melton is part of the
team who rescue the victim from the deadly North Sea. When Arnie and Dominic
come together in the aftermath of the attack, the attraction is instant. Arnie
isn’t looking for a relationship. He’s committed to his son’s wellbeing and has
no time for a distraction like Dominic, even though the handsome ex-naval
officer is hard to dismiss. Is it possible for Arnie to full fill his promises
to AJ while falling for Dominic?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Despite the
distraction, a fledgling killer remains at large. As feelings between Arnie and
Dominic develop, so does the danger they are in. North Point may be a beautiful
place to fall in love, but it could also be the most dangerous.</span></p>

fades but the scars remain.</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">When Logan Crawford, a former war correspondent turned
best-selling author, appears on TV to promote his latest thriller, he is
knocked out by his fellow guest, Sam Radcliffe. Logan’s travels around the
world have opened his eyes to many things, but nothing as attractive as the man
he meets that night. Sam was the victim of a vicious stabbing in his youth and
is now an active campaigner against knife crime and violence. He is perfect in
every way but one: the wedding band he wears. That’s a complication Logan
doesn’t need.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Sam’s life is far from happy. His husband is addicted
to hard-drugs and casual sex: a devastating combination. Johan was once the
shining light in Sam’s life. Now he brings nothing but darkness. But Sam
respects the vows they made. For better or for worse. The attraction Logan
feels for him is mutual. Ruggedly handsome and engagingly smart, Logan is hard
to resist. Sam will need to overcome the anguish of his past and barriers of
his present if he’s to stand a chance with Logan.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 107%;">I hope this update finds everyone well in these
intense days of lockdown. I know some people are finding it easier than others,
and my heart goes out to anyone stuck at home, facing the days alone. My
husband is an essential worker and continues to go to work, so I’m on my own
for eight hours each day, but that’s nothing when I know he’s coming home each
night and we can enjoy dinner and watching a bit of TV together. For anyone on
their own, stay strong. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 107%;">I enjoy being by myself and working on my books, but
even I find it lonely at times. I’ve found the best way to break up the monotony
of the day is to get out of the house and go for a walk. In the UK we’re
(currently) allowed to take one hour of outside exercise, as long as we
maintain social distancing measures. That hour is the highlight of my day and
had definitely kept me on an even keel. Everyone copes in their own way and
people need to do what works for them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 107%;">Anyway, I’ve used some of my free time to finally put
together a mailing list. Once up and running I’ll send occasional emails with
book notifications, special offers and updates. In the meantime for anyone signing
up, I’m giving away a free short story.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "merriweather" , serif; line-height: 107%;">When lawyer Travis Milton joins a group of his colleagues to celebrate
the birthday of a senior partner, things couldn’t go much worse. The older
men’s idea of a good time is to act like drunken frat boys cruising from casino
to strip clubs. Their bad behaviour gets them through out of one place after
another. Travis is ready to cut them loose when they end up at Rubens, a high
class bar in a luxury sky scraper, where he meets Oscar, a harassed but very
sexy waiter.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "merriweather" , serif; line-height: 107%;">Oscar is counting the minutes until the end of his shift, but when the
hot young lawyer intervenes in a conflict, his night takes a turn for the
better.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I hope everyone is staying safe in these strange
times. It’s not easy and I know some people are having a real struggle to cope
but I think I’m doing okay. At least, I haven’t cracked under the pressure yet.
I suppose writers have an advantage in that we’re used to spending long periods
of time alone. In many ways, a day by myself working on a book is one of my
favourite things. That’s not to say I’m not missing things. Going out, catching
up with people, movies, music, theatre. I can’t imagine when we’ll be able to enjoy
those things again. I know I won’t take them for grant anymore.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">My husband and I are trying our best to keep things
going as normally as possible. We celebrated his birthday at the end of March.
I did all I could to make it special for him, all things considered. We had a delicious
take-away meal of Indian food, drank a lot of wine and ended the night with a
kitchen disco for two, which I’m sure the neighbours were thrilled about.
Hopefully we’ll be able to make up for it next year.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The most important thing is to keep safe and though
lock down might seem a pain, it’s doing just that. I’ve tried to keep keeping
busy most days. There’s a lot coming up this year and I’d like to stay on track
with it all.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I’ll be launching a newsletter in May with a brand new
story <i>The Night</i>, which I finished this week. The story will be free to

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">So, there’s my news for the moment. Everyone has their

keeping busy has been the best coping strategy for me. Whatever you do, stay
safe.</span><br />

Dominant and submissive, with a particular penchant for spanking. They’ve been
playing delicious kinky games for the fifteen years they’ve been together, and
couldn’t be happier. However, when Tristan develops a health issue that means
he can’t redden his wife’s backside for a while, it puts them under a lot of
strain. It’s a big part of their sex life, and they’ll miss it badly.</span></div>

his car keys onto the hall’s side table and storming into the kitchen.</span></div>

he often pretended she’d done something wrong and faked being pissed off about
it when they played D/s scenes, but real anger—it was something that just
didn’t happen. She wasn’t quite sure what had sparked it, either. The news had
been unfortunate, yes. Inconvenient, yes—but it wasn’t the end of the world.
Tristan’s only choice was to follow the doctor’s advice.</span></div>

weren’t aimed at her. “Come here, you.” He held out his arms, and when she went
into them, he hugged her tightly and kissed the top of her head. “Fucking hell,
Jayme, I’m really going to miss spanking that beautiful arse of yours.”</span></div>

pulling back so she could make eye contact, continued, “But we’ll cope. There’s
loads of other stuff we can do—we can still have fun. As much as I love it,
it’s not worth making the problem worse, or screwing up your recovery once
you’ve had the op. Your health is more important, babe.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“Mmm…” came the reply, along with a very displeased expression.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“Hey,” Jayme said sharply, raising her eyebrows, “you might be in charge
in the bedroom, mister, but I’m putting my foot down here. Hopefully you’ll get
a date through for the operation really soon. And the sooner you have the op,
the sooner you’ll be recovered and we can get back to normal. In the meantime,”
she grinned widely, “we’ll just have to get creative, won’t we?”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Much to Jayme’s relief, Tristan finally smiled. “You’re right, as always,
wife of mine. Clearly I’m not happy about this—fucking carpal tunnel bollocks,
spoiling all our fun—but it could be a lot worse, I suppose. At least they’re
not operating on my dick.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“True.” She giggled. “That would take some creativity of epic
proportions!”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“It would. So, does this mean we have to have sex more often, then?”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Frowning, Jayme replied, “How do you figure that out?”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“Well, if it’s too risky to spank you, then surely wanking is going to be
bad for my wrist, too. And I’m not sure that when the doctor asked if we had
any questions, he meant of this nature, did he?”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Jayme laughed again. “No, I’m sure he didn’t. I think we’d have given the
poor man a heart attack if we’d started asking him how we were going to get on
with our particular kind of sex life without exacerbating your problem. And I
was under the impression we already had plenty of sex and that you don’t feel
the need to toss yourself off very often.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“I don’t.” He shrugged. “But you can’t blame a man for trying, can you?
Especially when that man’s wife looks like you.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“No, I suppose not.” She grinned, then slipped her arms around the back
of his neck and pulled him in for a kiss. Closing her eyes, Jayme allowed
herself to get into the touching of their lips, the parting, the questing
tongues, shoving all thoughts of not being able to have her arse reddened to
the recesses of her mind. She loved Tristan with all her heart, and their
relationship was so much more than sex and kink, so they’d just have to get on
with it.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">And what better way to get on with it than to find a way around their
unfortunate predicament? She pulled Tristan’s bottom lip into her mouth, then
sucked and nibbled at it, enjoying the guttural sounds this elicited from his
throat. Letting go of his lip, she then sucked at his tongue, mimicking
fellatio on the warm, wet flesh and smirking to herself as his rapidly growing
erection pressed against her stomach.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">God, yes. The two of them had been together fifteen years, married for
thirteen, and were still crazy about each other. What was a little break from
spanking in the scheme of things?</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Sitting back suddenly as something occurred to her, she said, “Hey,
gorgeous. Shall we take this to the bedroom? I’ve had an idea.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Tristan grabbed her hand and they immediately headed for the bedroom. “Of
course. What’s your idea, sweetheart?”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“Well, now,” she replied, grinning wickedly, “that would be telling, wouldn’t
it? You’ll just have to wait.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“Damn,” Tristan muttered, picking up his pace. “I can’t even threaten to
punish you unless you tell me.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">

stairs and into their room before ushering her in and closing the door behind
them. “God, you’re gorgeous,” he said, pulling her back into his arms.</span></div>

“No trying to butter me up just so I’ll cave and tell you what I have in mind.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">

thing?”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">

doesn’t mean it’s not true. You are gorgeous, and I love you. And I want you.”
Gesturing towards the erection that tented his jeans, he gave a wry grin.</span></div>

remove her clothes. “Now, Sir, could I respectfully ask that you get naked?”</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">My new series of novellas examines the
things people are prepared to do for success and the high prices they will pay
to maintain it. The first book <i>Never Too Famous</i> deals with the highs and
lows of celebrity. </span><br />
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">It’s a common perception that famous people
want for nothing: big brands queue up to give them stuff for free and everyone
loves them. Yet you only need to read the comments section on any celebrity’s
social media account to see how untrue that statement is. In a lot of cases the
haters outnumber the fans. It must take a thick skin to read the rude,
insulting and derogatory comments complete strangers feel entitled to make
against another person. Everything is up for criticism: looks, weight, age,
fashion, family, sexuality, race, gender, and because that person is famous,
it’s seen as an acceptable part of the job.</span><br />
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">And yet, millions of people crave that
kind of success. As a person who values privacy, this is something I have always
found fascinating. <i>Never Too Famous</i> is a love story set in the world of
reality television. Harry and Grant are TV stars from completely different
backgrounds. For Harry fame happened by chance, when a documentary crew filmed
a fly-on-the-wall series about life on a luxury cruise ship, where he was
working as a marine engineer. He’s never been entirely comfortable with the
trappings of fame. While Grant became famous on a show called <i>Sexy
Northerners</i>, and there’s nothing he won’t do to maintain his position as
the shows leading hunk; sex-tapes, fake relationships and publicity stunts are
all in a day’s work for him. The two men couldn’t be more different, and when
they meet things get hot very quickly. </span><br />

<br />
<span lang="EN-US">The bars along the
canal were busy for a Sunday evening. People sat at the outside tables,
laughing and drinking. From the corner of his eye, he clocked that someone had
recognized him and was moving in his direction. Harry tucked his chin and kept
walking. He wanted to reach his room, lock the door and spend some quality time
alone.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">When a hand touched
his shoulder, he expected it to be a fan, eager for a photograph. He turned,
hoping to make it quick, and was surprised to recognize the smiling face that
greeted him.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Grant Hunter.</span><br />
<br />
<i><span lang="EN-US">My God, he’s
handsome.</span></i><span lang="EN-US"> Up close, his chiseled features and warm
brown eyes were exquisite. His smile grew wider and his eyes sparkled with
amusement.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">“I thought it was you,”
Grant said, thrusting a hand forward. “Nice to meet you at last.”</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">“You too,” Harry said,
accepting the firm handshake.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">“I wanted to say hello
last night, but you left the club before I got the chance.”</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">“Sorry.” Harry
shrugged, unable to tear his eyes from Grant’s hypnotic gaze. Dark and moody,
like a film star from a different era, a 1950s matinee idol who’d stepped
straight off the screen and been transported to modern-day Manchester.</span><br />
<br />
<i><span lang="EN-US">You could cut
yourself on his cheekbones, they’re so sharp. And that jawline…</span></i><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">“It wasn’t really your
scene, was it?” Grant asked.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">“I guess not. But
sorry, again, I should have come over before I left. It was rude not to.”</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">“Why don’t you make it
up to me now?” Grant said, gesturing to the bar where they had stopped. “A
drink. I’ve got nothing else to do right now. How about you?”</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">The man was a natural
flirt. That was obvious. But he had an undefinable and powerful charisma.
Harry’s heart beat faster. Grant had an instant effect on him. “Why not?”</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333;">Harry Alexander and Grant Hunter are big names in reality
TV, but they couldn’t be more different. For Harry, fame happened by chance. He
was working as a marine engineer on a cruise ship when the liner became the
subject of a fly-on-the-wall documentary series. Harry’s good looks and
charming personality made him an immediate hit with viewers, and he became the
break-out star of the show.</span></div>

Having starred in the outrageous reality show Sexy Northerners, he grabbed
success with both hands and didn’t let go. Grant is prepared to do whatever it
takes to stay at the top—red-carpet appearances, parties, high-profile romances
and X-rated videos. He’ll do anything in the name of self-promotion to maintain
his notorious reputation.</span></div>

they have preconceived ideas about each other. As they realize they have more in
common than they ever thought, they must overcome prejudice, rivalry and the
social and professional barriers placed before them, if they’re ever to get
together</span></div>
