Coming soon: ROAD JOY – new thriller fiction
Hi everyone. My new thriller Road Joy is finally complete. If you like stories about killers, then this is one for you.
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 steals his father’s Range Rover 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.
The intention was for this to be a 5,000 word story, but it just kept growing into a novelette. I’ll soon be an indie author. I’ll be publishing this on Amazon as both a paperback and an eBook, so you’ll be able to get it on your Kindle. It’ll also be on Kindle Unlimited.
I’ve learned so much from this exciting process. More details to follow.
