SUSPENSE/THRILLER

A Gamble She Can’t Afford to Win

Len Thompson leads a reckless life. Conservative college student Kate Miller prefers structure and tranquility, yet she finds the volatile bad boy intriguing. When the two unlikely former friends reunite during a chance encounter at the convenience store, he buys a lottery ticket for her twenty-first birthday. After she wins the multimillion-dollar jackpot, Kate's sweet dream of fortune turns into a nightmare.

Obsessed with the illusion that he deserves a share of her newfound wealth, master manipulator Len lures the trusting young woman into his tenacious web of deceit. Unsuccessful in initial attempts to convince her of his entitlement, he devises a new scheme. When Len and his brother Chris bungle the plan, the consequences are devastating for Kate and her family. The conflict escalates at the edge of a secluded cliff, resulting in a no-win outcome for both predator and prey.


5-star review by a reader at Amazon.com:

An excellent book for an enjoyable read

I loved the premise of this work: someone buying a lottery ticket for you then wanting a share of the millions after you win.

The author does a great job developing this premise, with powerful and lively characters. Descriptions are woven seamlessly into the storyline, something that most authors miss. The dialogues ring true and the storyline is very real and possible.

Go Big or Go Broke - How I Made Six-Figures Playing Blackjack without Counting Cards

There is nothing quite like the thrill of walking out of a casino a winner. It really doesn’t matter how much you win, knowing that you have bested the house is a good feeling. I have been fortunate enough to experience this feeling many times while playing many different games, but it wasn’t until a year ago that I realized which game was my game: blackjack.

Let me start by saying that I am not intending on the contents of this book being a recipe for success at blackjack. In fact, many players and math whizzes will probably claim that some of my methods are not mathematically sustainable, and that if I continued to play the same way I would eventually lose money in the long run. Nonetheless, I made six-figures playing blackjack last year, and as the saying goes: “Money talks, bullshit walks.” This book is simply my story. Right or wrong, this is how I did it.

Free until 11/26/14!

Hello everybody

After thinking about it for a very long time, finally took the plunge and have published my stories on Amazon Kindle's Direct Publishing platform. Found it remarkably easy - the registration process took longer than prepping the books (and as one of them is a screenplay, which has format issues, that's saying something!)

The screenplay is End of Days

I've often read about how difficult it is to format screenplays for ebooks - one of the things that had stopped me publishing them in the past. But I found it a lot simpler than expected - I'll post re this at another time and place.

I've followed it up - and I only joined KDP on Sunday! - with a small collection of short stories: Memories Lose Their Meaning

These are six short (two very short) stories I wrote during the first half of 2014 and includes one, Minute that won the (sadly now defunct) Global Short Story Prize and was thus the first piece of writing ever to make me any money at all!

I must admit that I lean quite heavily towards the melancholic - my work isn't likely to cheer anyone up! I once described my themes as "faded dreams and faded lives" - not necessarily the most appealing of promotional blurbs!

Anyway

Simon

Golf Fiction - NEW!

Everyone deserves a second shot…

A leading money winner on the Nationwide Tour, Dan Tanner is destined for stardom until a reckless lifestyle derails his dreams.

Penniless, broken, and removed from the game for nearly a decade, the downtrodden former pro starts over from scratch after securing a temporary job as a manual laborer at prestigious Bentwood Country Club. Despite the fact he hasn't touched a stick since the collapse of his professional career, he is determined to qualify for an upcoming club-hosted PGA event. Past his prime, Dan regards this as his last chance to prove he still has what it takes to compete against the new generation of golfers. Two obstacles stand in his way: He has only weeks to find the game he lost years ago...and Frank, the club owner's insolent son.

Unscrupulous Resident Pro Frank Daly is not about to let the interloper steal the limelight, or his girlfriend, away from him.

Hi,

I am new to this forum and really appreciate this opportunity. Trust me, my skin is as tough as it gets and I welcome comments from everyone.

My erotic romance, Freedom, is currently available to download via Smashwords for just 99 Cents.

https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/496778

Freedom introduces a new and exciting fantasy man in the shape of Giraldo De Lograno, otherwise known as the Bastard of Bilbao. Of Spanish descent, and from a time when the plague was raging in Newcastle, England, he has spent the last 400 years living his life as a gigolo. A time-travelling highwayman, who has been cursed to bring his own special brand of pleasure and pain to the women who cross his path. Women just like Zara.

Out on the town and looking for a random stranger to spend the night with, Zara knows just how to celebrate her recent divorce. A petite blonde, she is no shrinking violet and has a naughty little kit to prove it and fully intends to have a night that she will never forget… it is just a case of choosing the lucky guy. Then she meets ‘Max.’

‘Max,’ the most exciting and dangerous man she has ever set eyes on. Sinfully good-looking and with a seductive charm that leaves her breathless. The fact that she would choose him for her Freedom night was never in question.

What is in question is the role she will play in a twisted mind-game between her chosen lover and a young woman executed for witchcraft in 17th Century England. Elizabetha, a beautiful and cunning temptress and she has more to do with Zara’s fate than she would ever have dreamed possible.

Who is the Highwayman and what does he need from her? Will Zara seal her fate or gain her coveted Freedom?

One thing’s for certain; her life will never be the same again.

Freedom is the first in a series of erotic romances chronicling the journey of the Highwayman as he makes his way back to the young woman who holds the key to his heart.

Due to sexual content of an explicit nature, this book is recommended for ages 18+

Hi folks!

Just wanted to let you know:

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY is on sale for 99¢
now through December 12, 2014.


Robin Hood and Maid Marian—what is the truth behind the legend?

Robin's and Marian's lives intertwine, unbeknownst to them. But just when they are about to meet, Robin is outlawed for a crime he did not commit (as opposed to the one he did), and Marian slips away from her guardian, the Sheriff of Nottingham, to avenge her parents' deaths.






Robin and Marian – the traditional tales as they've never been told before.


Taken from the Clerk of Copmanhurst's second letter and including: childhood heroes; the abruptness of childhood's end; how paths may crisscross without converging; the likelihood of being outlawed for a crime one did not commit as opposed to a crime one did; the blessing of unconditional forgiveness; the inconvenience of foes who come to dinner and don't leave; the convenience of a castle's hidden passages; arguments for and against leaving old friends behind; new friends found at unlikely times and in unlikely places (such as during an abduction in town and an assault in the forest, not to mention on a log-bridge); disguises; warrants; a dunking; a drunking; and a battle.
