I have been delighted by the response of readers to my first novel Niedermayer & Hart which has been clocking up praise on Amazon and Goodreads. As an independent author, it's extremely gratifying when people from as far afield as Australia's Gold Coast or Oklahoma, who have somehow discovered your book, choose to post a review. And fortunately, so far at least, I am delighted to say these have all been extremely positive.
Roadrage is a very different kind of book to Niedermayer & Hart. If I was asked to give a 'smart description', I'd say it's a psychological thriller that examines the corrosive effect of obsession and hate. However, what it definitely has in common with Niedermayer & Hart (at least is meant to have!) is that it's a page-turner - just without any supernatural shenanigans.
It is now possible to place a pre-order for Roadrage through Odd Dog Press or via the To Buy page on this site using PayPal.
