TERMINATED--New Thriller
My latest thriller Terminated has just his bookshelves and the Kindle's e-shelves.

Description:
Gwen Farris crossed the wrong coworker when she gave Stephen Tarbell a poor evaluation. That was all it took to push Tarbell over the edge. He already believes Gwen stole the promotion that was rightfully his. He won't let her take anything else from him. Now it's his turn to take...and take. By the time he's finished with her, Tarbell plans to take her job, her family—even her life. Terminated…to some people, it's more than a job.

Available from:
Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Terminated-ebook/dp/B004MDLXOS/
Amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Terminated/dp/B004MDLXOS/
B&N: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/boo...=2940012188410
Sony: http://ebookstore.sony.com/ebook/sim...00000000346237
Smashwords: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view...?ref=SimonWood

What They Are Saying About Terminated:
“Wood writes like a dark, demented angel.”
— Ken Bruen, bestselling author of Once Were Cops

"A supremely gifted writer.”
— Jason Pinter, author of The Darkness

"Simon Wood knows how to create tension, he knows how to build three-dimensional characters and he has proven he can tie everything together in a high octane climax."
— Book Browser

"Simon Wood packs his books with suspense, surprises and superb storytelling."
— Ed Gorman, author of The Midnight Room

" Simon Wood takes the idea of workplace harassment to terrifying levels.”
— Bookgasm

There’s an essay about the book over at the International Thriller Writers website about the book: http://www.thrillerwriters.org/2010/...imon-wood.html & there’s a nice review over at http://www.bookgasm.com/reviews/thrillers/terminated

Terminated has picked a couple more nice reviews.

http://freshfiction.com/review.php?id=26151

Terminated
By Simon Wood
Leisure Books
Reviewed by Gloria Feit for Spinetingler Magazine

One innocent meaning of the term 'terminated' has to do with losing one's job; as we all know, there is another more ominous one. Those two very different definitions become intertwined as a workplace decision becomes life-threatening in this fast-paced tale of suspense by Simon Wood, who has already shown that he is a master of the genre.

Gwen Farris could have had no idea that her critical performance evaluation of Stephen Tarbell would have the effect it did. Not that poor evaluations are ever expected to be gracefully received, but no one could have predicted the potentially lethal fallout from this one.

Employed by a pharmaceutical company for the last eighteen months, six months ago Gwen was promoted to the position of Manager of Quality Assurance, a promotion Tarbell believes should have been his. Now, his very job may hang in the balance. Not satisfied with threatening Gwen with a knife if she doesn't change the report in his favor, Tarbell determines to take apart Gwen's life as she knows it, and perhaps take her life, literally, as well.

Gwen, happily married and with an adorable three-year-old daughter she adores, has faced mortal danger before. She was the survivor of a violent crime fifteen years prior, the man who kidnapped and attacked her [leaving her for dead] coming up for parole as the tale opens, which only adds to the feeling of vulnerability which threatens to undo Gwen.

The suspense continues to mount, and just when the reader feels the worst of Gwen's ordeal might be behind her, the author manages one twist after another to keep the pages turning. Another winner for Simon Wood, and it is recommended.

Because this is one of my 4 books where I don't own the ebook rights and it's sold by my publisher so I have little say over it.

So that's how authors paint themselves in a corner.
