Winning Competition entry – Savages!

For those that can’t wait for my next release, you might want to be aware that I previously won a competition to write the second part of a short story, called Savages. The first and last parts were written by the famous horror writer Shaun Hutson and are hosted on Shaun’s website.

“A candidly written book, but with clear effort taken to protect the innocent – the author’s daughter.

A believeably genuine, even-handed (surprisingly so at times) account of a difficult time in a family’s life, Access Denied is a book I simply could not put down; it was completed in a mere two days!

As a father of a young daughter it tugged at my heart several times, making me realise how lucky I am to have such a straight-forward relationship with her.

I was left feeling: sorry for David, for what he’s been forced to understand and come to terms with; pleased for him for the eventual outcomes (albeit not the one he would evidently truly love to come true); admiration for him for his perseverance, determination and doggedness in pursuing what appears, from this account, a seriously flawed system of rights, access and responsibility.

On the point of child protection and support, for a series of laws and solutions designed to protect children, on this evidence there certainly seem to be enough challenges to the ensurance of well-being of all parties involved – clearly from the way it is written David is ‘only human’ and may have acted emotionally or not *always* in the eventual best interests of himself or his relationship with his daughter, but it is clear to see why this could be, and why it ended up being so.

A must read book that leaves you hoping for things to work out in the end for both him and his daughter, but fearing they may not.”

They didn’t like my book, but I LOVE their review!

“Horrible. Disturbing. I can’t even…ugh. It’s really really really disturbing. Don’t even *try* to read this book. I didn’t finish, grew curious of the ending, skipped to the conclusion, and regretted it ever since. I’m sorry, but I am just *not* a fan of this book.”

Exactly the effect I’m looking for. Enjoy. 🙂

Another five-star review for The Roots of Evil

Hammer-Horror fest awaits……

The result of a fertile imagination and a very slightly twisted sense of the macabre, this is an enjoyable romp through a “Hammer-Horror” fest for the noughties……a novel that’s easy to pick up and get straight to the very heart of the story. Set in a small village (of the damned!) packed full of residents where underneath that wafer thin veneer of respectability lurks a grimy layer of secrets best left unsaid….until they come face to face with those secrets and the fate that awaits them. Highly recommended indeed!

Another great review for Access Denied

Thought it brought home to many people the fact that it’s not always the woman in custody cases that is right! And highlighted how hard it is to prove your point in a society that puts many barriers in your way! – M. Johnson
