Many words have been used to describe my e-published collection of short stories, The Bridge That Bunuel Built: bizarre, quirky, surreal, dark, weird, certifiable, brilliant (that wasn’t me who said that, but someone did, I promise!). Now we can add “free” to the list. That’s right. For a few days only this stylishly designed and durable e-book will be available on amazon for a cost so low it is literally not a cost at all. It is free. So it’s a good time to buy it. Or not buy it. Because it’s free. Steal it, legally. It’s okay. You can even put an eye-patch over one eye and pretend to be a pirate if you like. It’s here.

Historical Novel Society Online Reviews
I’ve just noticed that the Historical Novel Society has now put its reviews online, including reviews of two of my books. Not sure when they did it but last time I looked, they weren’t available online. Here they are, anyhow.
Of The Cleansing Flames, the reviewer said: “While still fulfilling all the requirements of the historical crime novel, it is strongest in its wonderful sense of place, atmosphere and historical detail and the memorable characters that people this landscape.”
And of A Razor Wrapped in Silk: “The streets of St Petersburg are vividly portrayed as the author shows the imperial Russian capital on the brink of upheaval, contrasting the squalor of industrial Russia against the richness of the aristocratic ruling class… If you like historical crime novels, you will enjoy this.”
Can’t say fairer than that!

A box o’ books
Got my author copies yesterday. Which was nice. (Remember the Fast Show anyone?)
