Formerly @seventh7rainbow in another life. Creator of The Mystery Jukebox and friend of Kitty. Scribbler of beloved whodunnits which I give away for free to stop them being pirated.

Update:

Apparently my books AND the expired coupons that made them free have "migrated" to the company that bought Smashwords. I have no idea how to access the new account.

I have unpublished my books on evil Amazon (or at least I tried to)

I resent having so little control over my own property.
All my novels are available to download for FREE. You'll find a link in the following post. Perfect reading if you're a fan of well-crafted whodunnits!

But don't just take my word for it. See what my wonderful readers have to say...

I know that for a lot of you Christmas can’t even start without a glimpse of Mary, the miserable 1950s fairy.
As you can see, eleven months in the garage hasn’t improved her mood.

So, uh, let's not tell the person with adhd, who's always complaining about the puppy being naughty (no he's not!), that this is what just happened to their (cheap) reading glasses... As they're always losing them anyway, we'll um, we'll just blame that... Shhhhh!

Message from Kitty. Her friends texted her from St Moritz and she'd like you to be a bit more generous with the tips so she can take a detour on the home trip and join them

Since Zack said these words on 2nd September, over 110,000 people have joined the Green Party.

This is a mass movement of people who are serious about replacing Labour and taking the fight to Reform.

And we're only getting started.
