And speaking of funny....this SP author is very popular in the UK. Now she's done a satire of e-publishing, about a group of indie authors who meet on a Kindle forum and get together on a remote island house...Lots of 'in' jokes about the indie writer scene & the reviewers they love to hate. Really pretty cute, although IMO could be cut by at least a third. But then, everybody's an editor nowadays...
Pompomberry House by Rosen Trevithick
A writer's retreat seemed the perfect chance for Dee Whittaker to take her mind off her marital difficulties. However, she meets five of the most hideous writers ever to have mastered a QWERTY keyboard, and her problems quickly multiply. Things escalate further when the handyman winds up dead.
After fleeing from the island, Dee attempts to get her life back on track but begins to notice that something strange is going on. The stories written on the island are coming true and hers is next - complete with a murder. Her estranged husband makes an unlikely sidekick as the two of them try to stop the literary copycat killing an innocent woman.
Packed with topical references, 'Pompomberry House' provides a satirical look at the emerging world of indie publishing.
