Autumnal Equinox

Hi folks,

Goodness, I just looked at the date I last posted - 19th May - doesn't time fly! During the late winter and spring I wrote a number of stories that I intended to publish more or less over the summer - these were Lucy Harlow detective stories to follow Oxygen Restriction and TV Torment - Opera Flowers, Summer Soldier, Northern Star and a mystery using some of the characters in the Lucy Series - Double. Rather than publish these new stories straight away, I had a change of heart and decided to take my time and see how the already published stories did. This also meant a break from writing, which I filled in by keeping busy in all other respects. I have been writing now for probably the best part of 20 years and have had breaks of months through to a couple of years but have always returned to what is my most enduring interest. So, after enjoying a summer break, and with the autumn equinox now upon us, it is time to get rolling again. I will therefore publish the aforementioned stories over the winter and spring, starting with Opera Flowers - a nasty little murder mystery. Look out for it on Smashwords and Amazon over the next couple of weeks - Free of Charge, of course!


Best wishes and regards

TV Torment publication this weekend

Hi folks, here's Lucy

The second story in the Lucy Harlow detective series will be published this weekened. TV Torment will be available on Smashwords and Amazon price 99c with a generous free sample. It is 16300 words long and here's the synopsis:

During a business trip to Cambridgeshire Lucy has a strange experience, similar to one she’d had in childhood. She hears the sound of the dead mingled with a TV news bulletin. Malcolm Margarson a deceased solicitor and pillar of the local community is being tortured in Hell by a vicious teenaged girl he calls “Angel”. Lucy learns that nineteen years ago Margarson was found dead in a lay-by off the nearby A10 with an axe buried in his skull. In the years that have passed no clues have come to light to point to the killer, and the conclusion of the police investigation that the murder had been the random act of a madman is widely accepted. But Lucy questions why a man unfortunate enough to be murdered at the age of 42 is suffering so much in the hereafter, and sets out the find out who his torturer was in life. In solving the riddle, she uncovers not only Margarson’s killer but also the leader of a gang responsible for the rape and murder of young women across the southeast of England...

A brief paranormal experience, the soundtrack of Hell, opens up an intriguing murder mystery with a tragic twist in the tail.

Look out for the story soon. I will post on Twitter and here when it's published, but probably it will be Saturday 19 May, UK time 1600 hrs.

TV Torment

Hi folks,

I am getting the 2nd Lucy Harlow Detective story, TV Torment, ready for publication now. I've been through it once this week. It needed only a few corrections. I will go through it again shortly then the text will be complete. I will write the long and short synopsis and, as the cover is done, it will be then be ready. The favourite date for publication is Saturday May 26th on Smashwords and Amazon.

I'll be writing more on here about TVT over the next few days.

Best wishes

Double completed

Hi,

I finished my latest short story 'Double' today. It s a mystery about a successful buisness man whose life takes a steady turn for the worst after seeing his double while on holiday with his wife and kids. It is 9400 words long and will be published later on in the summer for 99c.
I am very excited about this little tale and it fits in snugly with the type of work I produce.

The next task for me over the next couple of weeks is to get the next Lucy Harlow story, TV Torment, ready for publication. It has been put away now for quite a few weeks, so my eyes should be seeing it almost anew when I go through it. The cover is done and the text was extensively reviewed and revised before I put it away, so hopefully it will be out 26 May or maybe the week after. It is quite a long short story at about 16500 words and sees Lucy on the trail of a gang of serial murderers in Cambridgeshire.

I will be posting more specific details about my stories over the summer as they near publication.

Best wishes

Saul
