Release Day!

Yes, folks, today's the day Dying Art hits the devices so help yourselves to virtual champagne and cupcakes!

This is from the back cover:

Portrait of a mystery

Dylan Scott vowed never to return to the dreary town of Dawson's Clough. But one visit from a beautiful ex-lover and he's back in Lancashire, investigating a possible murder. The police think Prue Murphy died during a burglary gone wrong, but her sister isn't so sure—and neither is Dylan. After all, the killer overlooked the only valuable thing in Prue's flat.

So who could have wanted the quirky young woman dead, and why? Dylan's search for answers takes him to France, where he discovers Prue's family didn't know her as well as they thought they did. And the more he digs, the more secrets he unearths—secrets someone would kill to keep buried…

This is what Manic Readers had to say about it: "Dying Art is, in my humble opinion, the most emotionally intense Dylan mystery to date. There are so many layers making it one of the gnarliest cases he’s had to unravel. At the heart of Dying Art is family; the relationship between parent and child and between siblings. As a parent there was no way I could read Dying Art and remain unaffected. The Dylan Scott mysteries delve into the dark side of the human psyche. That place we prefer to keep hidden, rarely admitting it exists to ourselves, much less the world at large…"

Dying Art is available to download from the publisher, Carina Press, or from the usual places such as Amazon UK, Amazon US, Barnes and Noble, etc.

(You can read the first chapter here.)

Today then, I'll be driving everyone mad with bursts of blatant self-promotion. Sorry. It's not every day one of my books flies off to make its own way in the world though. 

More champagne anyone? Another cupcake?
