Great reviews, thanks!

 

A Viral Post-Apocalyptic Short Story
Get the story!
Hi all. As the weekend draws near, here's your pick-me-up in the form of literary delights. A great short story is available from the link above. Plus a host more below! Be sure to check them out!

I'd like to throw out some thank yous to everyone who requested an audiobook code last week. As a writer, it's a thrill hearing your own words read back, and sometimes they even sound okay! You listeners even seem to think so!

"Neon City: A Cyberpunk Trilogy (Neon, Book 4), my fifth read from author Adam J. Smith. 6-hours 3-minutes/213-pages, a bit more graphically adult in content than other books in the series. Steven Miller's narration adds to a good book's excellence. I look forward to more from this author. "I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review."

Thank you, Roger! Book 6 is nearing acceptance (I hope) and The Risen series is in acceptance again after some editing, and sounds amazing. Can't wait to get you codes for these!

I've finished A Feast For Crows! Want to throw me, and others, a few obscure book recommendations? The Indie-r, the better! Get commenting on this FB post, or this Twitter post.

'Til next week! If you have Kindle Unlimited, don't forget all my titles are there, just a-waitin'! (My KU reads have plummeted :() The Neon Sands Boxset will be on discount offer from the 29 Jan!

New audiobook codes available!

 

PERMAFREE NOVELLA
Happy New Year Everyone! Welcome to a 2021 filled with... hmm... let's take a gander around. Masks? Yes... the Year of the Mask. The Year of Outdoor Exercise. The Year of Defeating the Virus! Forgive my attitude - it's hard to stay positive while the UK plunges towards the worst COVID death rate per capita, IN THE WORLD! Rule Bri-Cronyism!

Anyway - do you like outdoor exercise? I've taken to long walks and hikes, enjoying an audiobook along the way. Click on the images below for a FREE audiobook code. Neon City #1 and #2 are brand new out, with #3 in the approval stage and due soon. These two follow on from the Neon Sands trilogy, which I'll also link to the audiobook codes below in case you haven't listened/read yet. Neon City follows, but Neon Sands 1-3 aren't essential reading for it, though they do fill in the background pieces. 

There will be more soon! Check out my Amazon page if you haven't already, to see if there's anything that takes your fancy. Otherwise - speak soon!

Sci-fi & horror freebies

 

PERMAFREE NOVELLA
Hi folks, and welcome to the new subs. With so many new subs it seemed like a good week to highlight the fact that the Neon series prequel, Neon Zero, is permafree and available from Amazon, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble. Click the box above! Back to discounts and offers on my other titles next week!

The Risen audiobook is with ACX at the moment for approval. They seem to have upped their game, so there might be codes available for that soon. Aria Gray did a great job at narration, performing the spoken parts; strange to listen to as a writer, but very enjoyable.

On the reading front, I'll be on A Feast For Crows by GRRM for a good while yet. I tend not to read quickly when writing. It was however my birthday recently, and I received The Curry Guy Bible, which I highly recommend if you are a curryhead like me. Below is my maiden recipe attempt, Lollipop Chicken.
Any Six Feet Under fans here? I'm into the final season. With a few years behind me now, since watching it for the first time in the early 2000s, two things strike me - it's a lot bleaker than I even remember. Maybe I focused on the dark humour before, but now, with so many excellently written dramadies since, it's less humour and more drama. It's great how a show about death can shine a light upon life. The second point is the character writing is even better than I remember, BUT a little too on the nose at times, with its convenient death-of-the-weeks. Still, hankies at the ready for THAT ending.

Another viewing pleasure this week was The Exorcist at the cinema, to support the cinema, but also to see this film - one of my favourites - on the big screen. The visual was great as always, but the sound was on another level. By far the best way to see it.

Anyway, I've rambled on enough. Check out Neon Zero, and Growlers below (also free) plus the other promos this week, and I'll see you beyond the pines.

Free book

81% discount & giveaways

 

OFFER OF THE WEEK
81% OFF
 
Hi all! Did you take advantage of the audiobook codes last week? Thank you if so - I hope you enjoy listening, I think Stephen did a great job. A few reviews in have been very positive, so doubly thanks. If you've listened, or have read the first trilogy, the follow-up trilogy is now on offer for a few days starting with an 81% discount. Just click on the image above!

Any Office Space fans here? I stumbled upon Loudermilk on Amazon, which takes Ron Livingston's office-clenched goof and adds angst and alcoholism, and makes for an enjoyable watch. That's my recommendation of the week! Take a look at the following giveaways and titles, and enjoy the rest of your week :)

Two students will compete. Only one can win...


Jada Breaker is on track to graduate from Station Alpha when her best friend is murdered in a terrorist attack. Now, all Jada wants is to stop the violence between her home and Planet Earth - and there's only one person standing in her way.

Sticks and stones do break bones, and words will surely hurt you.

Staring down the barrel of a loaded 9mm is a wake-up call, especially when it's your husband's finger on the trigger. Brooklyn James's only thought is to take her baby and run. It's better to end up on the streets than suffer one more day beneath her husband's hand.

Post-apocalypse, zombies have now been put down and the human race is rebuilding. The last exhibit of that horrible time tells her story. "I don’t know how it happened. All I have are the stories he left me with…" A tale of betrayal, recovery and life after the zombie plague.

Vampires on a murder spree. A hitman out for revenge. How hard can it be to kill the undead?

While Joe Coffin served his time in prison, someone spilled his family’s blood. But when the massive hatchet man takes out the killer, something about his vengeance feels completely off. He never expected his suspicion would reveal corpses sporting the marks of a ruthless vampire.
