Enquiries to: dannymckune@hotmail.com

I am very pleased to announce that I have recently completed my first novel, HIDDEN IN THE SHADOWS, and in doing so have achieved a lifetime ambition.

At its peak HIDDEN IN THE SHADOWS reached #62 in the charts before I stopped promotion to begin editing the manuscript. Thank you to all who backed and offered valuable advice and support.

I am continuing with the edit but have uploaded 17k words from the final manuscript. It would be great to get a HC review so please take a read and offer your support if you deem the story worthy. Thanks!

Hidden in the Shadows

Daniel McKune

Who knows your secret?


Returning to work following the untimely death of his parents, Jack Vaughan is attempting to rebuild his shattered life for the sake of his young family. Upon his first day back, Jack happens upon a cryptic message, apparently sent by a dead friend. Jack is hiding a dark secret - one he thought was dead and buried yet this message could expose everything.

Something bad happened ten years ago on Hebden Waters, something Jack thought was hidden forever. But the sender of this message appears hell bent on revealing everything to destroy him. After a second message appears, things begin to unravel beyond his control.

Jack Vaughan is desperate to stop his secret from being unearthed and to do that he must delve into a dark past and face the evil he thought he'd left behind forever...

Rand, I really appreciate your critique. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment. I will definitely be taking your suggestions on board. In response to some of your comments, however, you must have misread my profile as I do know how the story is going to end and I fully understand... view book

Hi Don, I got to read the opening chapter and I have to echo the other comments you have already received. I was slightly distracted by a lot of the introductory dialogue and descriptions, I seemed to lose track of who was who and who was saying what. That was until the CIA operative began tracki... view book

Claire, Being 'in retail' management myself (and almost 30!) I really can associate with poor Stephen. Right from the onset your story grabbed me and carried me kicking and laughing all the way to the hilarious closing sentence of the first chapter! This is great work. The writing is fluid and... view book

Hi James, Finally got to reading your opening chapter, albeit a little later than promised! The idea is great: the impossible case, the down and out solicitor/lawyer with the opportunity to be great again and the hapless sidekick Philip - all adds to a great story. In John Hitchson you've c... view book

Bill, Although a little late I have given your book a start (as promised), and I must commend you on a fine and engaging opening chapter. Your writing holds the reader and guides them through what is an exciting opening scene and the briefest introduction of Dr. Jim and the French girl was enough... view book
