My new book, ONE WRONG TURN, now has 13 chapters uploaded ( 7 more posted October 23rd). I'd be delighted and honored to have all my Authonomy friends read what is available and comment. Thank you very much.

HOOK:
A wrong turn in traffic leads Phillip Murphy spiraling down a road of tragedy, deception and accusations of his involvement in two homicides.
I appreciate the awesome support I recieved for THE WRITE IN on its way to the Editor's Desk. Over 700 people backed the book at some stage and that really is a humbling experience. There are no words to express my true feelings about that.
I'm proud to announce that THE WRITE IN will be available soon. I am self-publishing by choice to retain rights to the story. (I've had agent / publishing interest but have elected to go Indie)
I am a storyteller, first and foremost. One need not possess a PhD to read my stories. I don't use a thesarus when writing them and you won't need one to read them. I write well-structured, character driven stories that I hope will engage the reader's imagination and leave them saying they liked the book, remaining always mindful that it is the reader who is the final judge.
I like to read almost anything. I especially like Thrillers and 'Whodunits'. Crime fiction, Historical Fiction and Non-Fiction, too.
PLEASE NOTE: The books I review are chosen at random only. You may notify me about yours if you like, I do not mind. Frankly, I appreciate self-promotion personally. I try to read, rate and review two books per week (one ranked and one new). If you message me, include your pitch only please or a shorter version of it. Hook me!
Please understand that I keep books on my shelf for long periods of time, In addition, I do not swap backings. I do give preference on reads to those who back / comment / rate my books when I can but it does not assure that I will back them. If I back your book, it is because I believe it is quality, either publishable or darn close to it.
NEW MEMBERS: Please feel free to contact me if I can be of help to you in any way, whether it be explaining the ratings system, assisting you in navigating the site or to just answer any questions you may have. I can also recommend the highest quality books on the site written in your genre and their authors, should you like to review their work.
Essentially, my objective is to better my craft. When I can, I like to help others do the same.
favourite books
I like to identify authors as opposed to books. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote my favorite book. Ironically, it was the first book I ever read as well. KIDNAPPED.
My favorite Authors:
Louisa May Alcott, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Sir Walter Ralegh, Arthur Conan Doyle, Poe, Shakespear, Scott (Ivanhoe), Agatha Christie, James Fenimore Cooper, Dean Koontz, John Grisham, Patterson, Ian Fleming.
(You get the idea. I like the older stuff as a rule)
My official website will be up by December 1st. Please come and visit and feel free to leave suggestions as to how I can improve it. All comments welcome!
