Bravo Victor is here!

It’s here! And TODAY, to celebrate the launch of my sixth book, BRAVO VICTOR will be FREE today, May 6 2014, worldwide (subject to Amazon’s Pacific Coast timings).

The Princelings of the East is a scifi/mystery adventure series set in a feudal world with advanced technology. Thanks partly to Princeling George’s inventions, society is changing. New tensions are born from the deceit and prejudice rife in many places. Familiar characters stumble across plots to upset the carefully laid plans that emerged from the first book in the series. And the movers and shakers need humble people like Victor, a star of four out of the five books to date, to do their dirty work for them.

In Book 6: Bravo Victor, our simple bartender (Victor) has grown up and is trying to make his way as a business guru. He encounters a shady traveller selling a banned drink, and seeks advice from King Fred at Castle Marsh. Victor is sent on a mission to aid the mysterious Sundance and his beautiful accomplice, and to find Fred’s brother, George, overdue after a visit to a flying festival in the Rhinelands. Victor tells how he uncovers a tangled web of lies and deceit, and an old friend from the past, or is it his future?

Bravo Victor is published as an ebook on Amazon for Kindle. It is approximately 49,000 words or 160 pages, reading level grade 5.0. It is suitable for young people but contains business meetings which add to the intrigue but may not fascinate. Budding politicians, economists, sociologists, engineers and inventors will love it!

Chapter Illustrations for Bravo Victor

I’m pleased to report that the chapter illustrations are now complete. There are three that are repeats from previous books (can you spot them?), and one from Fred’s short story last Christmas, which are now included below. I was having trouble with the one that is basically a chapter describing a banquet. I was too scared to draw anything really elaborate!

I think I’m most pleased with the view of Castle Marsh from the dunes track which is for chapter 19. It came out exactly as I envisage it – probably inspired by a trip over to Winterton Dunes last Monday.

These now have their chapter labels and titles.

New drawing of the Castle in the Marsh

The first illustration in the Princelings of the East is of the Castle in the Marsh (generally just called Castle Marsh, except by the people that live there)! I’ve done over one hundred chapter illustrations now for my books and short stories, I look at some of them and think – that’s not very good. Some of them are a little bit messy, but ok. It bugged me that the place where it all starts (who knows where it will end) was not a very good picture. Maybe 6/10. So I’ve done a new one, which will head them all in the second edition of the Princelings of the East. Continue reading “New drawing of the Castle in the Marsh”

Lazy Days of Summer Giveaway Hop

Thanks to Colorimetry and I Am A Reader, Not A Writer, I’m inviting you to join in the spontaneous Lazy Days of Summer Giveaway Hop, running from now until midnight August 4th, London time.

That tree in the picture reminds me of just such a tree I used to sit in, in Epping Forest. I expect it’s a beech or a hornbeam. These days I look out on another river, but laze in my deckchair in my garden, surrounded by buzzing bees and fluttering butterflies and guinea pigs running around mowing my grass in the shade. Well, they are in a pen, but they do a great job of the awkward bits between the vegetable patches.

So to take us into August, I invite you to enter the Giveaway, and Hop over to other people who have other goodies in their Giveaways!

The first prize in my Giveaway is $10 Paypal cash plus one of my ebooks of the winner’s choice.

But there are also two runner-up prizes which are A5 sized prints (roughly half letter size) of a Chapter Illustration of your choice, signed by me. That’s different, isn’t it?!

You have to sign up to follow this website by email in order to enter, so you might as well do that now, using the blue ‘follow’ button on the right at the top of the page.
