One Step Ahead: (Gamekeeper Turned Poacher Book 1) by Denver Murphy

Gamekeeper Turned Poacher Book 1Detective Superintendent Brandt has found the perfect murderer.

Himself.

Brandt’s going to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end when you hear footsteps behind you. He’s going to make you look twice at that stranger walking towards you.

He’s going to make you afraid for your own safety and those around you.

Or he’s going to kill you.

And he will use his unparalleled knowledge of how to escape detection to kill; again and again, because the people of Britain need awakening from their slumber of indifference, having been desensitised by the violence that is gripping the country.

But DCI Stella Johnson believes she can catch him. There is no such thing as a perfect murderer; everyone makes mistakes. The crime scenes may be lacking evidence, but each one tells its own story.

Aided by her young protege PC McNeil, and with their personal chemistry growing as fast as their working relationship, can she separate the murders’ facts from Brandt’s fiction to uncover the person behind these killings?

Book 1 of the Gamekeeper Turned Poacher series, One Step Ahead, takes the classic cat and mouse tale and flips it on its head. The intrigue behind Brandt’s dramatic descent into criminality, and Johnson’s determination to change the game, has captivated readers with its fascinating characters and compelling plot.

Readers of James Patterson, Angela Marsons and Helen Fields will love this book! Fans of Dexter, Broadchurch and Unforgotten will not be able to put it down.

“…James Patterson but with a refreshing UK edge and a dose of realism.”

“This really is a gripping crime thriller as it grabs you from page 1.”

“Creepy and gripping writing, particularly the chapters written through the eyes of the killer.”

Mina Rehman Offers her Humorous Fantasy Free

Mina Rehman loves telling stories that help people connect with one another, but mostly, she just wants to use her words to make people laugh.

mina rehmanMaisha is a pretty normal girl.

Sure, she doesn’t remember the first 18 years of her life, but weirder things happen, right?

It’s not like someone took away her memories to make her forget that she’s an alien, heir to a throne, and the most powerful witch in existence.

Nor does she have an undead fairy godmother (along with a bunch of ghosts for relatives) whose sole afterlife entertainment is haunting her.

And there’s NO way she’s married to an actual dragon/ancient-warrior/wanna-be-superhero (who hates her guts) in the name of peace.

Or is there?

Who decides what’s normal anyways?

A lighthearted take on the cliches found in teen fantasy novels, explored through the eyes of a girl who suddenly finds herself on an alien planet, stuck in the middle of dragons, shapeshifters, undead fairy godmothers and a conspiracy to take her crown, one that she never even wanted.

About the author, Mina Rehman:

Mina RehmanMina Rehman is a reader, a 90s kid (since we’re putting all the important stuff here), an amateur nature photographer (but only when she remembers to charge her camera’s battery), a writer, a flexitarian (which might be another word for “struggling vegetarian”), a feminist (obviously), a horrible poet (but that doesn’t stop her), proud mother of an adopted Jaguar (Go WWF!), a science communicator and a currently non-practicing astrophysicist.
She loves telling stories that help people connect with one another, but mostly, she just wants to use her words to make people laugh.

The purpose of books written by Val Grian is to charge you with positive energy and to enrich your life with all kinds of emotions.

Tramps, Thieves and IT by Val Grian

Tramps, Thieves and IT by Val GrianThe events take place in the United States. Arrogant smuggler Alan and a shy homeless guy called George are the main characters of the book.

At some point, Lady Luck decided that she had paid too much attention to ungrateful Alan, and completely neglected George for no reason. “It looks like now is the high time to correct this injustice,” she thought once. Being very vigorous and determined, Lady Luck put the idea into action immediately. Which meant seismic changes in the lives of both main characters. And one of them didn’t like those changes at all…

So what happened to Alan and George? Well, the answer is in the book. As a bonus you will also find out what happened to Hitler in hell and what the Devil and the English Queen have in common.

The story is almost based on real events. Some of them already took place in real life. Some are about to happen. Who knows, maybe to you.

I’m very grateful to my wife Aksana for kindly sharing the book concept with me and for all the support and help provided during its creation.

About the author of the Dark Gods series, Arthur King:

dark godI’m an indy Fantasy writer, from Australia now living in London or somewhere like Cambodia or Thailand if the visa office is giving me a hard time. Arthur King is a pen name as i also write some much less bloody stuff under my own name.

My aim as a writer is to create original things. Maybe a new creature or power or look at something like vampires and demons in different ways. The dream would be in 20 years people i don’t know are making movies and writing books about something i originally came up with. Like Bram Stoker for vampires, or Romaro for zombies.

I write grimdark and gritty adventure fantasy. I like a hero with a heart of gold and a blood drenched sword. My favorite authors are Joe Abercrombie, H P Lovecraft and Tanith Lee. I have also clocked around 200 hours on skyrim and like fantasy games, i might write a lit-rpg book one day soon.

I have lot of books. The Dark gods series, Monsters & Man, and vicky vs. Lots of my books are free for review.
