http://www.amazon.co.uk/MURDER-ENLIGH...

Lucy Kendall doesn't believe she's a serial killer. She simply eradicates the worst of society and brings justice to the innocent-the children she failed to protect during her decade in Child Protective Services.
A missing child sets off a chain of events linked to a suspect in a life-changing case in Lucy's past. Her chosen path is terrifying-but the search for the missing child pulls her into web of evil and malice beyond her darkest imagination.
Lucy is jaded and desperate, but will her desperate race for justice prevent her from seeing the truth?
Packed with suspense, All Good Deeds is a dark psychological thriller with a finely crafted mystery that takes readers into the deepest recesses of the human psyche.

Synopsis:
FBI and CDC work with local Sheriff’s departments to solve crimes involved with sabotage, including bioterrorism in the novel: Green Power. After the closing of Rancho Seco Nuclear Power Plant, Dirk Hendrickson loses his job as head of security. He blames Dr. Ray Pendleton who had led a demonstration against the nuclear plant. When Ray sets up methane digesters on Lodi dairies, Dirk and his fellow Delta Valley militiamen do everything in their power to destroy the professor’s projects. When a deadly epidemic breaks out, Dr. Pendleton’s alternate energy source is implicated as the cause.
Linda McCord, a lab tech at the hospital where the infected patients are admitted, works with the professor to help prove that his project is not the cause of the epidemic. The CDC gets involved and calls in the FBI to investigate a possible act of bioterrorism. The novel takes a dramatic turn when Ray comes down with the disease caused by the same type of methanogenic bacterium involved in his project.

Shelfstealers (small publisher currently closed to submissions) will be releasing ANGRY ENOUGH TO KILL, a thriller about a conspiracy of women who kill pedophiles, in February of 2015.
This thriller, the first in the ANGRY series, is deceptive. Above all, it's entertaining - you think you're reading a page-turner. But then it haunts you with questions: What makes someone become a vigilante if personal revenge isn't a factor? How do you recognize a pedophile? Is there a cure? How do adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse cope with life?
Ideal for book clubs...a discussion guide is included.
Publishers Weekly, in a pre-publication review, says it's "a brave novel with sympathetic characters that goes far beyond shallow revenge fantasy."
If you'd like to request a free Advance Reading Copy, please contact Shelfstealers, [email protected]. Be sure to let us know the format you require (print, Kindle, ePub or PDF.)
And happy reading!

Unplanned Choices, Kindle version is on sale for $0.99 starting tomorrow Dec 10, 2014 through Dec 17, 2014.
http://www.amazon.com/Unplanned-Choic...

The novel is the story of Steve Lynch and his first love, Anna Marino. Both Anna and Steve are raised in the Roman Catholic faith and struggle with the church’s prohibition of sexual activity and their growing sexual drives. They both meet in college after abandoning the church. Anna became pregnant and died during an abortion, before abortion on demand became legal in New York. The novel describes the impact of the abortion on Steve, the abortionist, Anna’s family and friends, and one NYPD investigator who committed murder.
If Anna could have legally had an abortion, she would not have died and the impact on the other characters in the novel would not have been as tragic.
Situations similar to that portrayed in Unplanned Choices, could be replicated hundreds of thousands of times in the future if abortion becomes illegal or is severely restricted in the United States.

My new novel, Heads You Lose, has just been published in e-book format on Amazon and is the sequel to my comedy thriller, Lifting the Lid.
‘Money for old rope,’ Sandra had said when they accepted the job of looking after the ageing Marcus Ingleby at his villa in Greece, but when a neighbour brings a gift for the old man, the prospect of spending most of the rest of their lives in a Greek prison becomes a terrifying reality.
Meanwhile, Ingleby has problems of his own. During his seventy-odd years, his cupboard has accumulated plenty of skeletons, one of which is about to be rattled by a couple of ex-cons and a retired police inspector from his murky past.

The first of my books that fired a "style" controversy, employing first AND third person POVs, as well as present and past tense - past tense reserved for flashback sequences. You either love it or you hate. Admittedly, for the casual reader, it can take some getting used to. You be the judge.
5 out of 5 stars. Most Helpful Review by Amazon Customer: “Mystery, intrigue, touches of the paranormal—this book has it all.”
99 cents for a limited time.

It's a great time to grab an ebook version of Under False Flags: A Novel — my publisher has it on sale for only $1.99 thru March 23 on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and iBooks. Here's a quick link to all three retailers on BookBub:
