My update this week concerns two things: The Clearwater Tales Vol 1, ‘1892’, and the Delamere Files book eight, Holywell Street.

1892

This short collection of short stories, as told by five Clearwater characters, is now available as an audiobook. As I have explained before, I had to go with the virtual voice option. Although I have been in touch with a talented VO artist who is willing to profit share my Clearwater series, I can’t take him up on the offer because of where I live. At the moment, you can only upload your own recordings to Amazon if you live in certain countries, and Greece is not yet one of them. So, I have used the best of what Amazon have on offer.

Sadly, I can’t change the accents of characters when they speak, and not all the subtle nuances are there, but it’s the best I can do right now. Here’s the link.

Holywell Street Cover

The exciting news here is that I have the cover for Holywell Street, and you will be the first to see it. The MS is with the proofreader, Andjela has the back cover text and will be making the full cover soon, and all being well, we’re looking at publication around the middle of the month, if not before.

So, to be the first to see the cover, click the title that I’ve put after the blurb. And the blurb is this:

Act for all of us.

Respected dentist Harold Eskell writes a list of cryptic references for Jack Merrit to find and then takes his own life.

Now leading the Delamere Agency, Jack is determined to uncover the truth behind Eskell’s final act. Enlisting the help of Baxter and his loyal team, he embarks on an investigation that uncovers shattered lives, unexplained suicides, illicit photography, underground erotica, and blackmail.

It’s all leading him somewhere, but where?

All things are unrelated yet connected, and the only way to do the right thing is for Jack to risk his liberty and fight crime with crime.
