WOLFKIND, the invisible assassin.
Allow me to promote my novel, WOLFKIND
WOLFKIND In Los Angeles the question on everyone’s lips… “Who is the Invisible Assassin?” The elusive hit man who has the authorities baffled, the general public intrigued and the local gangland highbrows hiding behind razor wire and hi-tec weaponry. With the city’s second most powerful crime family slaughtered, Joshua Grenire is pressed into action by his mentor, Max Barlow: hunt and kill the assassin. Though burdened by social inexperience and the crushing responsibility of his mission, he is at the same time buoyed with child-like wonder at the prospect of finally interacting with ordinary people. Once in L.A. Joshua infiltrates the Durant crime syndicate and acquaints himself with the mobster’s spirited civilian daughter, Genna Delucio. He finds himself breaking one of the rules by falling for the girl. While after nightfall he searches coldly for the assassin, during daylight hours he steals time to explore the simple rites of passage that long-term seclusion has denied him. In a modern society blood-stained with intolerance and prejudice, street violence and contract killing, Invisible Assassin is a story about love and innocence struggling against the corrupting nature of power. “Good story and good read, well-managed conclusion with all the right things happening in the right order. The characters were fresh and thought-through and although the 'they live among us' notion has been done before, the setup and the back-story were persuasive and felt newly-minted. I really liked the idea of the Wolfkind community living like the Amish or the Moravians, the whole moral-responsibility issue of their attempts to contain their 'virus', and the destructive nature of the religious guilt Barlow uses as a tool. Nice that Barlow did what he did for the best, but harm still came of it... quite a subtle and truthful-feeling outcome.”....... “I was impressed by the ending, which was very sure-footed and, as I've said, hit all the right notes in the right sequence.” Stephen Gallagher, bestselling author/screenwriter and creator of the hit show THE ELEVENTH HOUR. Available from Amazon, Smashwords and Barnes and Noble. |

Hallowe'en is just around the corner and my horror novel Wolfkind is still up for a dollar until Bonfire Night using Coupon HC23P.
Wolfkind at Smashwords Just to add that my daughter finished reading Wolfkind on her new Kindle a few days ago. Her frequent questions and unwavering enthusiasm throughout the reading has for me rekindled(aye)the mindset I experienced writing the first draft. I never knew how much I'd put into it until I saw what she got out of it. Sweet. Happy Hallowe'en to all |

Wolfkind, Free to download through November.
Smashwords Link: Coupon Code: DJ55T My regards... Review: “Good story and good read, well-managed conclusion with all the right things happening in the right order. The characters were fresh and thought-through and although the 'they live among us' notion has been done before, the setup and the back-story were persuasive and felt newly-minted. I really liked the idea of the Wolfkind community living like the Amish or the Moravians, the whole moral-responsibility issue of their attempts to contain their 'virus', and the destructive nature of the religious guilt Barlow uses as a tool. Nice that Barlow did what he did for the best, but harm still came of it... quite a subtle and truthful-feeling outcome.”....... “I was impressed by the ending, which was very sure-footed and, as I've said, hit all the right notes in the right sequence.” Stephen Gallagher, best selling author of White Bizango, Red. Red Robin and The Boat House. |

I'm very, very excited that readers outside of the US and UK have been downloading my novel WOLFKIND. My slowly expanding download map now includes both Italy and Germany. Still no further reviews as yet, but I'll admit I'm not too upset - a fellow writer assured me reviews were like gold dust.
WOLFKIND is available still at AMAZON.COM WOLFKIND LINK Many thanks, Stephen Melling |
