Death Of A Temptress by P.F. Ford  

Death-of-A-Temptress1About Death Of A Temptress by P.F. Ford

DS Dave Slater is suspended from duty. The injustice of taking the rap for a fast-track London detective’s botched investigation hits him hard. To add insult to injury, his boss hands him a closed case for a discreet re-investigation. Is this a chance to redeem himself or a way of ensuring he fails?

Ruth Thornhill went missing six months ago. According to the evidence, she ran off with another man, so the Met closed the case. However, Ruth’s sister Beverley refuses to give up. And Beverley has friends in high places.

Slater’s enquiries soon find inconsistencies in the original investigation, and after a near-fatal encounter with a London bus, he realises the stakes are far higher than he imagined. Someone wants him to disappear.

An unlikely ally, in the form of fellow scapegoat DS Norman Norman, helps him uncover disturbing connections between the missing woman, a Chinese businessman, a glossy magazine, an online escort agency, a top London banker and senior officers from London’s Serious Crime Unit.

The two uncover a mire of corruption, blackmail, deception and possibly the most cunning murder ever seen. The evidence stacks up against one particular suspect and Slater and Norman close in.

But as with most things in Slater’s life, nothing is ever simple.

“If you like your crime with a lighter touch, Death of a Temptress is a refreshing, entertaining mix of mystery and humour that never takes itself too seriously.”

Author Bio:
Having spent most of his life trying to be the person everyone else wanted him to be, P.F. (Peter) Ford was a late starter when it came to writing. Having tried many years ago (before the advent of self-published ebooks) and been turned down by every publisher he approached, it was a case of being told ‘now will you accept you can’t write and get back to work’.
But then a few years ago, having been unhappy for over 50 years of his life, Peter decided he had no intention of carrying on that way. Fast forward a few years and you find a man transformed. Having found a partner (now wife) who believes dreamers should be encouraged and not denied, he first wrote (under the name Peter Ford) and published some short reports and a couple of books about the life changing benefits of positive thinking.
Now, happily settled in Wales, and no longer constrained by the idea of having to keep everyone else happy, Peter is blissfully happy being himself, sharing his life with wife Mary and their three dogs, and living his dream writing fiction.



Where the Dead Walk  

WTDW-NEW-COVER-Type-9-copyAbout Where the Dead Walk:

A TV ghost-hunting crew. A haunted house. An unimaginable crime. A past buried deep…

An Amazon US/UK Kindle Store Top 100 Bestseller: #1 Ghosts & Haunted Houses – #1 Occult – #1 Ghosts – #1 Paranormal.

For some, ghosts are no more than the wounds loved ones leave in their wake, haunting the living only with their absence. Others take a more literal view…

Kate Bennett, presenter of paranormal investigation cable TV show, ‘Where the Dead Walk’, isn’t sure what she believes, other than she seems cursed to lose all those closest to her.

After investigating a neglected cliff-top house, empty for a decade because it’s ‘haunted’, Kate is convinced a spirit within holds the answers to a childhood she can’t remember and an unimaginable crime.

What she can’t know is that the house’s owner, Sebastian Dahl, is searching for something too, and he intends to get it, whatever the cost.

The Rising (Supernaturals book 1)  

kindle-colour-CopyAbout The Rising (Supernaturals book 1):

Ethan is just an ordinary teenage boy—infatuated with sports music and, of course, girls. Or so he thinks. Heading home on a rainy night from an amateur guitar gig, he finds his life turned completely upside down—literally. His car spins and flips out of control after what he believes to be a small animal jumps out in front of him. The horrific accident is only the beginning of a series of mysterious and seemingly unrelated events that will change his life forever.

After awaking in the hospital, and following an encounter with an enigmatic doctor, Ethan discovers that something that occurred during the wreck allows him to hear others’ thoughts, and even more perplexing, move objects with his mind. While trying to wrap his head around this mystery, he realizes he’s not alone. There are others out there with special powers. Not long after learning of this new world, Ethan’s ever increasing lack of control places those around him at serious risk. In order to protect those he loves, he makes the difficult decision to leave and accepts an offer to attend specialized training along with other so called Supernaturals to gain command over his newfound gifts. Shortly after beginning his schooling, Ethan is sent on a mission to kidnap who he believes to be the enemy leader in a well concealed Supernaturals war. But the further he becomes embedded in this new world, the more he discovers things are not quite what they seem and doesn’t know who can be trusted.

In this first installment of the Supernaturals series, Ethan discovers that super powers aren’t always so super, and is faced with difficult decisions that will not only affect his own life, but which may determine the life or death of his newfound companions and mentor.

Rejection Free: How to Choose Yourself First and Take Charge of Your Life by Confidently Asking For What You Want  

FlatAbout Rejection Free: How to Choose Yourself First and Take Charge of Your Life by Confidently Asking For What You Want:

Is the fear of rejection holding you back from taking massive action? Do you refrain from asking for what you want because of getting a NO? Do you depend on the opinions of others to define your self-worth?

I know rejection hurts. We take it personally when people fail to give us what we desire the most. But getting rejected is a state of mind. It has power over you if you let it in by believing the worst. You can learn to free yourself from the feeling of shame and the fear of loss. By taking action in the face of fear, you release yourself from an emotional rollercoaster and learn to live your life with confidence.

In Rejection Free, you will learn how to …

choose yourself first no matter what people think of you.
ask for what you want without the fear of hearing NO.
break free of rejection in any situation that calls for you to be brave and confront your fears.
stop trying to please the wrong people and pay attention to the right ones.
realize that rejection isn’t all about you (and how inspiring this is!).
put an end to the trap of predictability and the ways it hurts your chances for success.
overcome your self-doubt and become great at asking for what you want the most.
supercharge your confidence and take charge of your life.
desensitize yourself to rejection so you can handle anything that comes your way!
Debunking the Lies
Rejection is full of lies we believe about ourselves. One of the first steps to recovery and creating a rejection-free lifestyle is breaking away from these lies by becoming totally honest with ourselves. Aligning our thoughts and ideals with the reality of the situation makes less resistance for ourselves. The lies are what keep you trapped and continue the pattern of living in rejection hell.

A Roadmap to Freedom
When you avoid being rejected, you eliminate all possibilities of losing, looking bad, or failing completely. You play it safe. You look for the non-fail, safe methods that are guaranteed to reduce your failure rate. By not risking, you risk more. By hiding, you stay afraid. This book offers a way out of your pain by working through the stages of rejection.

Learn to Ask For Anything
There is a price to pay for not asking. By trading in your pride and fear of embarrassment, you could be giving up large sums of money (asking for a raise), your freedom (asking for time off), and the opportunity to thrive instead of survive.

When The Stone Shepherds Awaken  

MKBarkley-300dpi-3125x41675About When The Stone Shepherds Awaken:

He was a freak, he thought, catching the lemon whiff of the suicide pill in his hand. Why had he been abandoned?
On a distant planet far off into the future, there is a human colony twice removed from Earth with a country preparing for war.
Sabienn Feel is a military cadet being fast-tracked for promotion as their enigmatic head of state, The Great Leader, readies his armies for battle.
Sabienn’s world comes crashing down when one day he grows wings.
With the shock of the hideous on him, he now finds people viewing his once perfect body as something freakish . And some people are now actively trying to kill him.
With his wings comes an intuitive ability to pick up an object and see a history of someone who held it. This ability has not gone unnoticed by higher powers within the realm.
But what is it that The Great Leader wants of him? What is it that he has to do to bring himself back into the love of this man he worships? Why does his survival lie with taking the life of a man he loathes? And after all is done, will The Great Leader save him?

The D.A.’s Forever by Laura Pinto  

DAsForever-NEW-COVER-smallAbout The D.A.’s Forever by Laura Pinto:

Kindle Countdown Deal: The D.A.’s Forever will be 99¢ from November 27 through December 3, 2016.

What happens when four greasers from the ’50s reunite in the ’80s? Plenty, as it turns out! Four men, who as teenagers were a tight group of friends called the D.A.’s (no relation to the legal profession), attend a special Fifties-themed reunion at their old high school thirty years after graduation. They’d attended previous reunions, but this one, which takes place in 1988, is different from the others: All the guys are nearing fifty; each one is experiencing a combination of personal and midlife crises; and the last time all four of them had been together was ten years ago. The D.A.’s have drifted apart over the years, although whether or not they’re willing to admit it is another matter. They all appear to be clinging to the past, even though (or, perhaps, especially because) they aren’t in high school anymore. Their joy at seeing one another again appears to be genuine. But is their seeming affection for one another sincere … or merely habitual?

Eddy Steinberg, the first character introduced in the book, is the youngest member of the D.A.’s, the nerd-turned-greaser who was more or less “adopted” into the existing group during the guys’ junior year in high school. He is the first one to acknowledge (if only to himself) that he and the other guys have grown apart, perhaps irrevocably. Frankie D’Antonio is the founding member and leader of the group, the alpha male, who along with Eddy is one of the main “voices” of the third-person narrative. Eddy and Frankie are “frenemies” who appear at times to merely tolerate one another rather than truly enjoy each other’s company; the dynamic between them is often tense, and Frankie’s greaser posture doesn’t help matters. Although Frankie claims to be a lover and not a fighter, it’s difficult to tell from his attitude—he is quick to anger and appears to always have his dukes up, whether or not the situation warrants it. Denny O’Reilly, Frankie’s best friend and the only divorced member of the quartet, has recently shed unhealthy (and unattractive) poundage and is now engaging in almost promiscuous behavior with the ladies, as if making up for lost time. Denny is concerned about the masculinity of his twenty-year-old son, Sean, who is his polar opposite in the sex-and-romance department. And Tony Franklin, Eddy’s best friend, is a bit of an enigma; he’s just as tough as the next guy but also has a tender, romantic side that the others seem to lack. During the weeklong reunion festivities, Eddy is amazed at the lack of discretion shown by his married cohorts, Frankie and Tony, serial cheaters who are seldom without other women on their arms—or in their beds. Frankie hop-scotches from one conquest to the next like other men change their clothes, apparently without concern for his wife and children. Tony is no slouch either, having attended previous reunions with “window dressing” (as Eddy puts it) at his side, but now his marriage and happiness are threatened by the reappearance of his high-school sweetheart, Marsha, whom he hasn’t seen in twenty-five years. Eddy is the only member of the D.A.’s who has never found it necessary to cheat on his wife, and he finds it difficult to wrap his head around his friends’ antics … until he meets a sweet, shy 24-year-old girl named Laurie who instantly steals his heart, forcing him to see the realities of his life with new eyes and to make a decision he never thought he’d have to make. The D.A.’s Forever is a nostalgic tale of friendship and love, sex and romance; a story of old love, of new love, and a love that will never die. NOTE: Mature content (adult language, explicit sexual situations); reader discretion advised.
