Losing Control

Posted on November 27, 2024 in News

And finally…

My 6th novel Losing Control is now available to order from your local bookshop. It’s taken a bit longer than it should to sort out the supply chain (Ingram Spark – Nielsen – Gardners in the UK, since you ask), and the catalogue entry is not yet quite right, but it’s finally visible.

(If your bookshop has trouble finding it, search by ISBN 978-1-7385120-7-2)

Alternatively you can find it here

I love bookshops, and I’ve tried very hard to make all my books available through independent channels. However I have to confess that print publishing is not exactly user friendly for hybrid authors. (Bookshop.org, for example, will not supply print on demand). I’ll tell you more when this saga is over, but in the meantime, pick up a copy, sit back and enjoy.

And please do tell me what you think!

First book of my holiday complete. Thank you ⁦⁦@erskine_fiona⁩. An entertaining & complex story - easily transporting me from the Maltese sun I’m currently basking in to the cold dark Teeside winter. I look forward to reading more about DI Julie Cadell.

Late to the party but absolutely loving @geowriter #nightclimbing
