My new dark lit novelette ROAD JOY is out and other news
Hi there,
I hope everyone is well. ROAD JOY has been out for two days now and thanks to all who have purchased or started reading it on Kindle Unlimited. I hope you enjoy it more than I enjoyed writing it – it was tough. But the relief and the thrill of finishing a piece always makes up for the torture of the writing and editing. The publishing and the marketing has taken up all of my little spare time but work has now started on a new short story. Another short story is scheduled to be published by Murderous Ink Press this January 2025 so looking forward to that. More details to follow.
ROAD JOY blurb: Frustrated teenager Bruce has had a hard life. He’s desperate for an escape from looking after his little sister Ciara and their abusive, disabled father. He borrows his father’s Range Rover without permission and goes for a drive, only to kill someone in an accidental hit-and-run. It seems he won’t get caught, but the trouble is he enjoyed it and wants more. Now Bruce is going to discover that the thrill of murderous joyriding could destroy much more than he thinks.
ROAD JOY is available in both E-book and paperback formats from Amazon. It’s also available on Kindle Unlimited.

Road Joy is coming soon
Hi everyone. I’ve been spending a lot of time writing my new novelette Road Joy which is finally complete. The intention was for it to be a 5,000 word story, but it just kept growing. I’m going alone with this one and taking the jump into the unknown world of self-publishing. I’ve learned so much already from this exciting process. I hope you like the cover. More details to follow soon.
