I am honoured that one of my short stories has been included in Dark Minds, an anthology of short stories to be published by Bloodhound Books. A Christmas Killing is a dark tale set over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with several twists that will keep you changing your assumptions. All proceeds will go to the charities Hospice UK and Sophie’s Appeal.
The book will be on sale from 13th December as both eBook and paperback. I believe an audio-book version will also be available.
It seems I am in some esteemed company. For example, the list of authors includes Louise Jensen. Her debut novel, The Sister, reached #1 this year in the Amazon UK charts.
