Hello! I have ARCs available for a thriller/mystery Not Here.
Please leave your email or PM me and I'll send a digital copy. Thanks so much!
Synopsis:
Would you surrender your free will to save your life?
A city in turmoil. A neighbor disappears. When her concerns are written off, Dina investigates on her own — and becomes a target, at the mercy of those in control…
In San Francisco, where the poor are systematically displaced by well-off yuppies, Dina Ostica is part of the problem. The damaged, determined twenty-three-year-old scrambles to make a name for herself in the burgeoning world of podcasting, with the city as her muse. She is hell-bent on professional success, thinking it will mend her broken spirit.
But when her go-to source on local history disappears without warning, she begins to uncover an uncanny pattern that hits too close to home, getting her tied up in the city’s underbelly.
What follows is a gritty tale of exploitation, betrayal, and the strength one needs to survive the whims of those in power.
Will Dina escape or fall victim to the injustice chewing up the city?
If you love contemporary thrillers with strong female protagonists, don’t miss this read!

I would so like someone to review my new novel, 'Five Peso Badge'. It's about a guy called Emmett Capps who comes from a disadvantaged background and who joins the Texas Rangers. He has to deal with a series of murders that could be the work of either a drugs cartel or of a serial killer.
He's juggling that with a dysfunctional family - an alcoholic mother and a flaky brother who risks compromising his job with the Rangers.
This story has a non-stop forward momentum until the final shoot-out.

It's called 'The Sparrows of Unity' and is a YA/Crossover conspiracy thriller that explores racism and homophobia in modern Britain. (Incidentally, it was also written in support of a charity that works to improve literacy levels in the UK - The National Literacy Trust).
Its goodreads link is here:

5 stars Masterful book. You will want it to be the first in a series...
March 1, 2019
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
This is a cleverly written, intricately crafted novel which follows Texas Ranger, Emmett Capps, as he investigates a series of deaths whose linkage is unclear. The narrative is complex and delivered in a compelling voice that never wavers. The central character is a rounded, troubled, flawed and completely engaging figure whose presence takes the reader by the hand, even while the dark narrative of the novel grips them firmly by the throat. All the characters – however briefly encountered – have a three-dimensional quality, and the more challenging ones, including the killer, have a psychological truth that makes them troublingly difficult to forget. This is a fast paced story in the “gun-toting cop” genre; readers of this genre will enjoy it immensely and will hope that it is the first in a series. But it is also a book that deserves a wider readership amongst crime enthusiasts, for the elegance of the writing and the razor sharp psychological detail. Enjoy.

It does focus a lot on action and romance, as well as character banter (one of my favorite things to write), and I'm looking for reviewers/readers/etc. If you're into that, check it out. It's the first in line of a possible series.

Just published my first novel, The Gilded Sanctum. It’s a mystery/suspense/thriller about a missing student, a mysterious school, and one man’s search for the truth. The Gilded Sanctum is available on Amazon, and I would love to receive some reviews on Goodreads and/or Amazon. Thanks for your consideration!

"If you can't watch Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill or even the Italian Job or a spaghetti western or two enough times, then this is the crime fiction novel for you. With nods to all the great pulp movies of the last few decades, Nobody Move is a fast-moving, rocking thriller set among the neon lights of Los Angeles. It's filled with goofball hoods, hitmen, losers on the run, strip club princesses, cowboys quoting biblical passages and antsy for vengeance, bags of loot, car chases through the badlands of concrete, gun battles, knife battles, hopeless love, and, of course, the getaway driver who thrills to blast Pantera at high volume as he corners and tears out." —Goodreads top #100 reviewer, DaveonGoodreads
Eddie Vegas made a terrible mistake. Now he has to pay the price.
After a botched debt collection turned double murder, Eddie splits, desperate to avoid his employer, notorious L.A. crime boss Saul Benedict, and his men (and Eddie’s ex-partners), Floyd and Sawyer, as well as the police. Soon he becomes entangled with the clever and beautiful Dakota, a Native American woman fresh in the City of Angels to find her missing friend—someone Eddie might know something about. Meanwhile in Texas, ex-assassin Rufus, seeking vengeance for his murdered brother, takes up his beloved daggers one final time and begins the long drive to L.A. When the bodies begin to mount, Detective Alison Lockley’s hunt for the killers becomes increasingly urgent. As paths cross, confusion ensues, and no one’s entirely sure who’s after who. But one thing is clear: They’re not all getting out of this alive.
As much a love letter to neo-noir cinema and L.A. as it is satire, the first book in the Angel City novels is a lightning-speed crime thriller equal parts Elmore Leonard and Quentin Tarantino. Nobody MoveNobody Move

Finding Arthur: Betrayal and revenge lurk in the shadow of the Good Friday Agreement was published in May 2018 and is John McClintock’s first crime novel. It has had great praise with a 5 star rating on Amazon and in a review by Brian Rowan, an established Northern Irish Journalist and Author, he stated that the book “reminded us of a peace that was hard won; of its high price and of why it should never be taken for granted. His work of fiction has given us something to think about.”

The IRA gang responsible were jailed thanks to the evidence provided by an informer. However, due to the terms of the Good Friday Agreement the gang are released early and are determined to get their revenge on the informer. Arthur is abducted within days of their release, is there a connection? When the case is handed to DI Quinn, a man with a short fuse, SAS-trained Sergeant Gillian Rice is assigned to keep an eye on him. A witty, sharp and engaging debut thriller which weaves through the Belfast, Bangor and County Down countryside in a compelling story of vengeance.

Anyway my book is a take on the Hardboiled PI, set in Margate, England with teenage protagonist, which I guess is a bit of a weird mix but it's sort of all right, honest, I think (I mean it's a thrilling and rip-roaring page-turner of a novel that will thrill you to the max and make you a cup of tea when you're finished).
Here it is:


https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
So my author career is rotting on the vine, and no one, literally no one is ever going to see it (I mean this novel is already the first of my many future successes and I cannot wait for all the fame and glory that is coming my way).
Please help. I am bathing in my own tears (I mean imagine being able to tell your friends and family that you were there, right at the start of Geoff Smith's awesome career).
H-H-h--e---e----e---e------l-llllllp m---e--e--e-e--eeeee! (I mean get in touch. We'll discuss terms).
Thanks.
Geoff.

greed, deception and violence;

In the vein of Stieg Larsson and Thomas Harris, Combustible Punch is a memorable novel that captivates readers and lingers long after the last page.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Rick Philips isn't a fighter — but he is a survivor
Haunted by memories of a high school shooting, not even the bottle can wash away the gnawing guilt and creeping feelings of inadequacy that batter Rick's conscience daily.
His life has been a mess of broken marriages, writer's block, terrible choices, and the morbid pity of others.
When he meets Harriet at a writer's conference, the record doesn't scratch as he falls back — only this time, he may not get up.
Harriet Bristol Wheeler is a dark temptress — and self-confessed serial killer
Harriet has no problem killing — and even fewer issues blending back into the background after the act with the cool, calculating eye of a practiced social chameleon.
Manipulative, unpredictable, and exceptionally intelligent, she's Rick's worst nightmare — and the ideal subject for his next book. A book that they are both desperate to write.
Time is running out — but the sadness will last forever

I would greatly appreciate a review:

Quarreling Pasts is about a killer, Jeremy Ryker who meets a woman named Violet Hutchinson that intrigues him as she reminds him of his past. Even though his intentions with her are the same as any of his other victims, he decides to give her a little more time. However, engaging in this latest mark has upset the balance of his proposed life purpose as he learns there are things about her that correlate to him. He's becoming more certain that they've crossed paths before. His deep seeded nature is fighting to conclude his dalliance with Violet and move on, but his future is threatened as his past unravels, because of her...
"If we open a quarrel between past and present, we shall find that we have lost the future."
-Winston Churchill
Thank you for the thread and being open to new authors.
Much appreciated!

To grease the wheels, I am running a price promotion.
The ebook versions of Dark Imaginings will be free between July 28 and August 18. The novel is available at Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Google, Kobo, and Tolino. Some streaming services – 24 Symbols, Playster, and Scribd – also have it. It may be available at your local library.
Though Amazon is not part of the campaign, I have asked Amazon to match the discount, and I hope they do that.
Dark Imaginings, loosely inspired by the mass shooting at Virginia Tech in 2007, is a story of cat-and-mouse. Amir, a naturalized citizen from Lebanon, loses his only daughter, Lelah, in a mass shooting at her college. He and his wife Serena struggle to return to some form of normalcy. Amir does not make it – he develops a voice in his head, an angry voice, which he calls The Beast.
The Beast wants revenge on the “gun people” it blames for Lelah's death. It possesses Amir. Hijinks and violence ensue.
A policeman, Inspector Roundtree, investigates the shooting at the college and subsequent murders. The story follows the parallel tracks of Amir and Roundtree. Will Amir get away with murder? Will he recover what is left of his life?
The story may appeal to those interested in gun regulations, the Second Amendment, and violence in America.
The outcome is morally ambiguous. So, if you believe that crime does not pay and bad guys always blink their eyes, you might better enjoy reading something else.
Happy reading.
