Only been out 4 days and sales across England, Australia and the U.S.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00VK...
The first in a gripping new series set in the South of England.
Someone is watching Sophie Brown.
The Watcher has been following her for weeks, photographing her every move, forming a relationship with her in their mind.
When the Watcher sees Sophie Brown out with another man, he snaps, addicting her, convinced that he can make her love him.
Detective Inspector Daniel Fox is a man who has suffered personally for the sake of his career. He and his team are tasked with the responsibility of finding Sophie and bringing her home.
As the investigation progresses it becomes clear to DI Fox that the Watcher has been playing a game with the Police and is always one step ahead.
With the pressure growing on DI Fox, one question remains; Can he stop the Watcher?

Hi Everyone -
In order to kick off the publication of my new book in the Kate Stanton Hollywood Mystery series called THE CROSSING AT BLAISDELL PARK on May 22, 2015, I'm offering another book in the series free all week called THE TIES THAT BIND through to May 22, 2015. Like all my other books in the series, it's a standalone book. I hope you have the chance to check it out. Now here's a little about THE TIES THAT BIND:
Kate Stanton's former son-in-law, Dr. Eric Devane, is a prominent Beverly Hills doctor who's now engaged to beautiful Brooke Connelly, only a few years older than his eldest daughter. With the impending arrival of his and Brooke's baby through a surrogate -- who happens to be his eldest daughter's best friend -- Eric's life has become very complicated, but not nearly as complicated as his fiancee's past.
Four years ago, Brooke Connelly made the biggest mistake of her life when she betrayed her mobster boyfriend by tipping off the intended victim of his next hit. Her timely intervention had nearly cost Brooke her life after she was beaten and left for dead by her boyfriend in retaliation for her betrayal. In desperation, Brooke turned to one of the most powerful men in Las Vegas for protection -- unaware that her arrangement with Clint Staebler was non-negotiable and permanent. Brooke has since relocated to L.A., where she's the general manager of a popular restaurant and nightclub, both owned by Clint Staebler. With her recent engagement to Eric, Brooke is determined to cut all ties to her past but the cards seem to be stacked against her when Eric finds out about her past relationship with Clint Staebler and demands to know where her loyalties lie. Caught between a murderer and a man who refuses to let her go at all costs, Brooke plays her one trump card in the hopes that it will be enough to sever her ties to her past, once and for all. In this sweeping murder mystery set against the glitzy backdrop of Vegas and the powerhouse that is Hollywood, past mistakes are never forgotten and revenge is what makes it all worthwhile...

If it moves away from you, it’s food. If it moves toward you, you’re food.
The 1957 murder of an undercover cop in a New York City housing project has unexpected ties to the unsolved disappearance of a young father walking home in those same projects with his son, Angelo, on Christmas Eve six years before.
The only witness to the cop killing is Angelo, now 13, while on his way to seek his own revenge in the early morning hours—he is also seen by the killers.
A series of gripping events forge a union between a priest, a Mafia boss, a police detective, and Angelo, a gang member. In the end, Weepers shows us that the courage of the underdog—despite fear and moral ambiguity—will conquer intimidation.

Here’s the ‘blurb’:
A shooting at an exclusive Florida high school masks an even more insidious plot. When the authorities are tight-lipped about the incident’s details, anguished families retain former homicide investigator Mike Gage to find the answers they so desperately seek. Mike knew one of the dead kids, the daughter of a close associate, motivating him even more to discover what happened and why. As Gage digs into the backgrounds of the two shooters and finds that one might have been a victim of early childhood abuse, an attempt on his own life tells him he’s on the right track. That dangerous road eventually leads to a shadily-financed school for boys, behavior-altering drugs, and a mind-warping on-line game that portends youthful terrorism nationwide.
If this sounds like a book you’d like to read, please ‘nominate’ it for the Kindle Scout Program.
For those unfamiliar with the program, here’s how it works: Readers (you) read a short excerpt of the book and if you like it (or the author) just click on the ‘Nominate’ button. (You don’t even have to read it to click the ‘Nominate’ button.) It’s kind of like American Idol, but for books. If you nominate THE SHOOTING and it’s selected for publication, then you’ll receive a FREE digital copy. There are 30 days for this campaign. This is Day Four. Your support would be greatly appreciated. If you’re on Facebook, sharing would be a big plus. Here’s the link: https://kindlescout.amazon.com/p/27F4...
(I regret that my promotional efforts are coming so soon after the terrible events in Oregon. It seems like some terrible synchronicity. I was compelled to write this book by the Columbine incident so many year ago. I believe the end product was worth the effort.)

Whispers Beneath the Pines


Released just two years but becoming more topical by the day, AL-QUEBECA is a police procedural thriller in which a Montreal homicide detective investigates a hit-and-run and discovers a terrorist cell.
One reader calls it, "A tightly-crafted page-turner highly recommended for anyone who likes thrillers and complex police procedurals! Sophie Gillette is a Montreal detective hot on the trail of a fatal hit-and-run that reveals a complex terror plot. What starts out as a police procedural turns into a lot more, fast. Compelling characters, especially Gillette, and the dialog is sharp and realistic. Plenty of action, and good forensics to complement police work in the field. All in the Montreal area, with enough local color to make you wish you were there, except in the middle of winter, as this is."
Currently available on Amazon for only $1.49, where it has 50+ reviews at a 4.5-star average.

Her cheating husband was murdered and she’s the prime suspect. Proving her innocence is one thing; evading a killer who wants her dead is something else.
Montreal ghostwriter Megan Scott falls under police suspicion when her husband and a female companion are found murdered. In what a Québec detective calls a crime of passion, startling evidence surfaces to implicate Michael Elliott, a young investigative reporter who’d rather rub elbows with scumbags than live the posh lifestyle he inherited.
Their only path to freedom is to catch the twisted killer before they become the next victims. But not knowing who to trust or where to turn can have consequences that are just as lethal…

A chilling, suspenseful new thriller in the vein of Michael Crichton and James Rollins
It's all about the genetics. DNA. Black & white.
A decade ago the US government mandated that all citizens be issued biochips containing all of their medical information and an id number indicating a person's health. Then they made the information public—the implications of which were wide-spread and devastating.
Now on the eve of the 2032 presidential election, the country is deeply divided and on the brink of civil war. But as the two major political parties face off, innocent Americans are dying at the hands of masked terrorists. When the Liberty Party's presidential nominee is assassinated in a highly-coordinated, masterful attack, it sets off a chain of events that will change the course of history and leave America's inalienable rights—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—dangling on the precipice of extinction.

This gripping historical crime fiction novel, based on fact, is set in Bradford, England,1888. It explores the horrific murder of Johnny Gill; a murder and mutilation so gruesome, it stuns a nation. Even hardened detectives are affected by its savagery, swiftly comparing it to the work of Jack the Ripper.

Murder in the Bougainvillea is a murder mystery that will leave you guessing until the very end!

REVIEW: "I do not give many five star reviews. Quite frankly, four is about as high as I go. A book has to be unbelievably good for me to go to five. This book deserves five - and ten - and fifteen. It is an amazing offering by an amazing writer. We meet Miranda at the start of the book. A young woman from a well to do background whose life is on a fast track to success. Enter Stephen Baltraine - young artist and a charming man hiding a big secret. What follows is every woman's worst nightmare. Followed by an even more unimaginable nightmare. This book grips you on page one and will not let you go. The story is unbelievably believable. Iyer lets you crawl into the characters so you experience their emotions in real time. Why five stars for this book? Easy - this story followed me into my dreams and nightmares. You don't read this book, you live it." ~ Kait Carson
