Edited a couple of months ago, the first novel in the Starship Renegades series is available for pre-order now. This fast-paced series sees Kari and her eclectic crew faced with one obstacle after another in their fight against the Imperium.
Human experimentation, government cover-ups, and a fight for justice.
Kari’s sister died ten years ago. No warning. No funeral. Just a letter with the Imperium crest. But now a list of names has Kari wondering.
What if it was just a lie to stop Kari looking?
Now she must find her sister before the Imperium kill her – for real this time.
Kari will do whatever it takes to save the only family she’s got left. She and her ragtag crew will team up with the rebel cause to fight the Imperium. But plasma pistols and underground connections may not be enough.
If you enjoy grimy space-bars, starship battles, and galactic empires, then you’ll love Starship Renegades: Liberate. Get it now.
The first thing a prospective reader is likely to see is your blurb or advertising copy so it’s essential that these don’t contain typos and punctuation/grammatical errors.
You can only make one first impression!
I include FREE checks of these with every manuscript edited.
The latest book by Tony Harmsworth, the brilliant science fiction writer, is now available for pre-order. For anyone who thinks sci-fi is not for them, Tony’s novels may well change your mind.
Federation & Earth – is book two in the Federation Trilogy. It is coming soon. Publication date is 2nd November. To secure your copy, pre-order now. Reading Federation first is absolutely essential.
After the dramatic and unexpected turn of events at the end of the first book, Earth is left with several factions trying to resolve the situation. The new president of the USA is trying to secure his hold on power, while a new group who have named themselves FREE AMERICA, is trying to overthrow what it considers an illegitimate regime.
Elsewhere, the new Secretary General of the United Nations is working with the smaller Security Coucil to try to bring the rest of the world together after the events at the end of the book one. Can the aliens be convinced to provide help or are they just going to watch from orbit?
Take a care. You won’t enjoy this story unless you are open to political concepts which could never work on Earth as it is before the trilogy begins i.e. now. If you like speculative fiction, open your mind and enjoy the adventure. This book is like Marmite [look it up], you will either love it or hate it!
A much, much quieter month for me (only 315,000 words) due to many interruptions—a foot operation, a joiner and decorator working on a new porch, and an overseas trip which included a swollen hand from an insect bite!—but I still completed the edits on six, mostly shorter novels.
The first novel was working with an author new to me and was an intriguing drama about personal relationships set in Scotland—details to follow when available.
The sixth in the sci-fi series by Saffron Bryant followed, and then there was a lovely, quirky private eye, mystery novel set in Thailand.
Books seven and eight in the Starship Renegades series were next, with the introductory novella to a new sci-fi series the last completed work to finish the month—again details to follow on publication—before making a start on a historical murder mystery.
My companion for the start of the month was the delightful Dolly, one of my regular visitors.
Edited in May, the first novel in the trilogy by new author, Gail P Griffiths is available for pre-order now.
Joe and Harriet know where they’re going in life. They have it planned; finish university and then get married. But Luke, a classmate who wants Harriet, has other plans. Those plans lead to a chase through the woods that ends in an adventure into the future. Along the way, the couple make some strange friends, some of whom they’re not sure they can trust. They’re forced to make choices between their freedom and the salvation of future generations. Do they run or stay? Do they have any choice? And if they get back, can they live with what’s ahead?
Another wonderful and humorous instalment in the Guesthouse on the Green series as Mammy and Moira travel Vietnam.
I love the series and can't wait for book four!
A quick but emotional read - reading about the cruelty to the dog was heartbreaking but this was a lovely tale of the love and healing that animals can bring to our lives.
I would have given five stars but for the missed typos - a few t...
I get the impression that this could be a nice story but I've had to give up after forcing myself to go as far as 15% of the way through. If this novel has ever been near a remotely professional editor then the author was conned.

Another very enjoyable story but with a few niggles, hence the four stars rather than five. Maybe it's because I was tired but the editing issues grated on me more than in the first story and, do people really generally believe that 'ear...
