I hope you're all well and safe in these difficult times. We've been in lockdown in Malaysia for 57 days now. Amazingly, I haven't killed my husband yet and he hasn't killed me. We're watching ancient black and white films, and the cats are keeping us on our toes in terms of Tummy Rubs and Treats.

BUT I'm writing because it's ready! Ruthless Sinner, the latest Zeta cartel novel, will go live on Friday 29^th May 2020.

Ruthless Sinner will be on KU. If you want to buy it, you get the special low price of 99 cents. <3

Please do share with your friends!

In 24 hours, I put it up to $1.99. The day it goes live, the price will be $2.99.

As always, I'm looking for help to get the word out. Could you please share the book link on your social media?

I do hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I think Coop is my new favourite hero 😊

Otherwise, enjoy and hope to see you all soon.

Hugs,

Ruthless Sinner

Determined to get her mother the healthcare she needs, drop dead gorgeous Spirit Westcott works as a stripper, not caring that it cements her reputation as the Beauview village bad girl. But when Spirit falls foul of John Cooper, the newest member of the notorious Zeta Cartel, she loses her job. Furious, Spirit confronts Coop–only to discover his secret drug lab. When Coop decides to save her, by disappearing her and keeping her captive, Spirit is less than impressed. However, she quickly learns that Coop has an even deadlier secret, and one that may drag her into the abyss.

When dangerous, single-minded John Cooper learns his best friend was murdered, he resolves to exact bloody vengeance. The knowledge that his prey is a Zeta, one of Mexico's most dangerous cartels, doesn’t stop him. Coop joins the organisation, only to discover that finding his prey won't be easy. To his annoyance, sexy Spirit Westcott is also a spanner in the works. After embarrassing him in public, Coop suddenly finds himself saddled with her as an unwanted captive. Then, just as things couldn't get worse, a killer starts to pick off Beauview village girls. As Coop is drawn further into the cartel, he is forced to make decisions that may cost him his life–and that of his love.

Ruthless Sinner is a gripping tale of vengeance, murder, cartel violence and finding love in the darkest of times.

Should I switch from first person to writing third person points of view? Plus a review of Dark Experiments (Forever and a Night, #2) by Lana Campbell

I write in first person point of view (I/me/my) is where the character tells you what’s going on directly. I was shit scared he’d throw me to the pack, so when he stood up and walked me round the side of the house, away from everyone else, my legs went all shaky. Chloe, from The Bonus In my novels, you get the story as told by my girl and her man. She gets a chapter and then he gets a chapter. (Except in Beast, where the story is told by Wynne). I love first person because it’s so immediate. Apart from the pure whammo of personality, you get to see what my girl and her man are thinking, their inner fears, and you can see them fight with themselves as they grow. Also, as my novels have a mystery as well as a love story plot, and my girl and her man go off and do a lot of things without the other knowing, it made sense to switch viewpoints from chapter to chapter. I love the way you can show an incident through two sets of eyes. Like when Chloe discovers Kyl...

After #Cockygate, do you need to trademark/copyright your book titles?

This post is written for young authors, or new authors living in non-kindle countries, who are worried about #cockygate leaving them open to lawsuits and being blocked by American sales platforms like Amazon. Also, there are tips on creating a unique title. What is #CockyGate? Faleena Hopkins who sells novels on Amazon is making lots of claims, including that she alone has the right to use the word 'cocky' in a book title. She's been bullying authors, threatening to sue them, and telling Amazon that her rights have been infringed. For a short time, authors who had books with the word COCKY in the title on Amazon had their books taken down. Also, because Amazon uses a lot of automated tools, readers who'd used the word in totally unrelated book reviews also found their opinions censored. Although Faleena is sticking to her guns and making more and more wild claims, Amazon has put the banned books back up, and is restoring the reviews. She's also being challe...

What Jane Austen and I have in common, by AJ Adams, dark romance and crime author

All Screwed Up at https://books2read.com/disciples2 Jane Austen and I have a lot in common. I can see you laughing but it’s true. Jane’s heroines have either lost a parent, are separated from their parents, or have parents who are dysfunctional. Just think of Emma Woodhouse’s dad who won’t go out, won’t see people and tries to keep Emma at home too. Anne Elliot’s dad is toxic, Fanny Price’s parents have given her up for adoption and when she meets them there’s a massive disconnect. Even Elizabeth Bennet who loves her dad, acknowledges he pays little attention to his daughters, and her mum who tries hard is not very bright. When your heroine has no parents, she becomes the focus. There’s no support, no guidance. It’s terrific for drama. In All Screwed Up, this month’s discounted novel, Lacey lost her mum when she was little. She loved her dad but he was party animal and that shortened his life. When we meet her, Lacey is an orphan. It’s not all bad, she has a half-sister,...
