Five for Silver

Happy New Year!

I'm very pleased to announce that my latest novel Five for Silver - The Diabolical Pact of Leanne Labbartu is now available for download in the Amazon Kindle Store for the princely sum of £1.87.



I’m very pleased with it. It’s full of the usual spooky shenanigans that people probably associate with my writing, with plenty of false leads and red herrings thrown in so that you’re never quite sure what is going on!

You can see the ‘back of the book blurb’ below, but if you're tempted you can always go to the Amazon site and read a bit more. The novel is actually a companion work to Painted Gold, but isn’t strictly a sequel. To celebrate the launch of Five for Silver, Painted Gold will, however, also be available to download for free for 5 days from Monday 6 January.

The blurb…

Sometimes, evil begins with an act of apparent kindness.

When St Mark’s Church can’t fill all the places on its annual Confirmation Class weekend, the ever-resourceful Mary Kennaugh asks the Council if they know of any deserving cases to fill the three empty slots.

As the weekend progresses and the isolation of their location in the Brecon Beacons begins to register, tensions between the church members and their guests begin to emerge. With suspicions aroused and accusations voiced aloud, a series of strange and unnatural events only serves to crank the tension up even higher. Are these experiences real, or just tricks of the imagination? Are there outside forces at work or is the group being attacked from within?

When the mysterious Mister Pye turns up with answers to many of their questions, the members of the mismatched group find themselves forced to reconsider their beliefs.  But that’s not all; Mister Pye appears to offer a solution for their dilemma, but his methods are highly unconventional. Can he be trusted?

Five for Silver is a psychological and supernatural thriller full of unexpected twists, where nothing is quite what it seems and the each step takes you in an unexpected direction.

No matter how deep it’s buried, the truth always rises to the surface.
