Thrilled to report the release of the audiobook edition of my paranormal crime thriller, Holiday for The Hostile, narrated by the highly talented Alexander Doddy. I couldn't be more pleased with his performance. He put his heart and soul into it. He even tackled the Irish and Scottish accents brilliantly when they cropped up in the story. Book 1, The Hostile, is already on Audible, Amazon and iTunes. As it was released before I'd heard of Alexander Doddy, I narrated it myself.

Holiday for The Hostile audiobook is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes, but if anyone wants an Audible promo code for it, private message me with your email address and I'll email one to you. If you leave a review of the audiobook, I'd be forever grateful as it obviously has no ratings or reviews yet because it's just been released.

Here is a link to the audiobook of Holiday for The Hostile on Audible.co.uk http://adbl.co/2sELKis, and on Audible.com http://adbl.co/2uhDMOd.

Alexander has also finished narrating Book 3, The Hostile Game. I finished listening to it today and he's done another fantastic job. I'm so glad I selected him as narrator. The Hostile Game audiobook should be available on the same sites as books 1 and 2 in a couple of weeks or so.

I'm currently writing Chapter 26 of Book 4, Confronting The Hostile. When it's finished and published in Kindle and paperback on Amazon, I'd also love Alexander to narrate the audiobook of Confronting The Hostile, if he's not too busy. With his talent, he's bound to be much in demand.

Hurry! For a limited time, the audiobook of Holiday for the Hostile, narrated by Alexander Doddy, is only £3.47 on Audible.co.uk http://adbl.co/2v4bTZT and $4.16 on Audible.com. https://t.co/hHBhsiuxJX. Over six and a half hours of pure entertainment.

UPDATE: I've just looked on Amazon and the audible narration has been added (hooray!) which means anyone can download the audiobook on Amazon for £3.47 or equivalent currencies http://amzn.to/2sZPiRp. I'm delighted by this news as my prime objective is for people to listen to my books as well as read them, especially when they've been so wonderfully narrated. At this lower price, I might get my wish one day.

HOLIDAY FOR THE HOSTILE, book 2 in The Hostile series, is a gripping contemporary paranormal crime thriller with a splash of horror. It was published on Amazon in Kindle and paperback editions in December 2016 and can be read as a standalone like the other books in the collection. The entire series can be purchased on Amazon for under £3.00 in Kindle format. It's worth so much more. The audiobook was recently published on Audible (£3.47), Amazon (£3.47) and iTunes.

Serena, plus her unusual friend and partner in crime, Tile X, find themselves suffering a family holiday at her eccentric grandfather’s hovel in Ireland. Who will manage to escape intact from their dramatic holiday from Hell?

Readers tell me they think Holiday for The Hostile is even better than book 1, The Hostile, the paranormal thriller I published on Amazon 8 months before book 2. Book 3 of The Hostile series, The Hostile Game, was published on Amazon in April 2017 in paperback and Kindle editions. I’m currently writing book 4, Confronting The Hostile.

Here’s a snapshot of what a few of the readers say about Holiday for The Hostile: “Ms Mutter has carved out a new niche for herself. And from where I'm standing, she's way out in front … With some books, you get an idea where things are going and where they're likely to end. Not this one. Every chapter was a surprise with new characters and situations and a bunch of wonderfully inventive deaths.” “It has plenty of scary bits … can't wait until book three is out.” “The end is a total surprise. Was expecting a skeleton in the family closet, but it turns in a completely different direction, keeping you on your toes and guessing.” “Excellent. Really looking forward to more. Joy tells a good tale.”

My 4th audiobook, The Hostile Game, wonderfully narrated by Alexander Doddy has just gone live on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. http://adbl.co/2thKeUz.



Manchester-based Serena, now 18 and pregnant, discovers the shocking reason why Tile X has befriended her. She doesn't like what she hears. Mayhem ensues, with a retired Irish police superintendent becoming more involved than perhaps he should be. The Hostile Game is the third book in The Hostile series of gripping paranormal thrillers. Each book in this unusual series can be listened to as a standalone.

The audiobook of book 2 in The Hostile series, Holiday for the Hostile, narrated by Alexander Doddy, is currently on sale on Audible and Amazon for £2.99, so grab a bargain.

In other news, I'm delighted to have just reached 100 ratings with 70 reviews on Goodreads. Average of 4.44 out of 5-star ratings, which isn't too bad for an indie author. It's two years since I published my first book and have almost finished writing the first draft of book eleven, Confronting The Hostile, book 4 of The Hostile series.

The Hostile Game, the third book in The Hostile series, is a gripping contemporary paranormal crime thriller. It was published on Amazon in Kindle and paperback editions in April 2017. The audiobook was published on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes in July 2017. It can be enjoyed as a standalone like the other books in this unusual series. I’m writing the second draft of book four, Confronting The Hostile.

In The Hostile Game, Manchester-based Serena, now eighteen and pregnant, finally discovers the reason why Tile X befriended her seven years before. She doesn’t like what she hears. Mayhem ensues, with a retired Irish police superintendent becoming more involved than perhaps he should have been.

“Joy Mutter delivers another wonderfully offbeat, paranormal thriller, mellowed with a delicious dark humour.” “An original premise, using original characters who you will quickly love and hate, and a clever twist at the conclusion.” “Delightfully different.” “A crazy, fascinating journey.”

Hello, everyone. I thought I'd pop in to let you all know that the audiobook of Confronting The Hostile, narrated by Alexander Doddy, should be available on Amazon, Audible, and iTunes in two weeks or so. Alexander has given another wonderful performance, as I knew he would. I'll be offering free promo codes for the Confronting The Hostile audiobook once ACX uploads it onto the relevant sites. By Christmas, I should have eight audiobooks available on the usual audiobook sites instead of just the four already available.




I'm busy writing chapter five of book five in The Hostile series. I'm toying with the title of Hostile Forever, but it might change if I think of a better one. I even have a book cover artwork designed for the new book, but that might change too. I have a few ideas for other books unrelated to this series and am planning to write them in conjunction with Hostile Forever. Many authors work on a couple of books at once, so I think I'll give it a whirl.

I'm thrilled that the audiobook of Confronting The Hostile, wonderfully narrated by Alexander Doddy, went live on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes today. It joins my other four audiobooks on those sites. Three more audiobooks are in production and will be available before the end of 2017.

If anyone wants a free promo code for Confronting The Hostile audiobook, I'd be delighted to send you one by email for either Audible.com or Audible.co.uk. If you're kind enough to write a review, however short, I'd be eternally grateful.

In Confronting The Hostile, a retired Irish superintendent and his former colleague, a handsome DCI from Liverpool, attempt to rid themselves and the world of their lethal tile masters. Will they succeed in reclaiming their freedom, or will the bizarre killing games continue?

Confronting The Hostile is book 4 in The Hostile paranormal crime thriller series. It was published on Amazon in Kindle and paperback editions on 9th August 2017. It can be enjoyed as a standalone like the other three books in this unusual series.

My crime thriller Random Bullets audiobook, brilliantly narrated by Alexander Doddy, is in this week's Audiobook Boom.



In a couple of weeks, my audiobook of Potholes and Magic Carpets, perfectly narrated by Tracey Norman, will also be in Audiobook Boom. http://mailchi.mp/audiobookboom/your-...

The audiobook of A Slice of the Seventies, narrated by Tracey Norman, went live on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes yesterday. It is my eighth audiobook on those sites and the second that Tracey has narrated for me. She also narrated my character-led novel, Potholes and Magic Carpets earlier this year. I’m thrilled by how perfectly she’s narrated Potholes and Magic Carpets and A Slice of the Seventies, the autobiographical first book in The Mug Trilogy. I hope to work with her again soon as she’s a class act with the best diction I’ve ever heard. Like all my other books, A Slice of the Seventies is also available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback formats.

A Slice of the Seventies tells the story of Jersey-born Mug, a troubled girl from a recently broken home. It covers her experiences as a teenager at the Isle of Wight Music Festival in 1970, the same year she follows a guru. The book tracks her tumultuous four years as an art student in Coventry, where vegetarian Mug finds herself living next door to an abattoir and a railway shunting yard with David, a fellow art student. Dramatic events follow on from the evening they first meet at a party, where David is attempting to commit an extremely public suicide. Whether you were around during that decade or not, you’re bound to enjoy this nostalgic Slice of the Seventies. This loosely autobiographical book can be enjoyed as a standalone without having to read The Lying Scotsman, and Straws which are books 2 and 3 in the Mug trilogy.

Doc Togden said in his 5-star review, “I have studied and written about this period of British cultural history – and find this book completely delightful. Now you don’t need Dr Who’s TARDIS – you have A Slice of the Seventies.” “A thoroughly gripping read – it will make you boogy.”

There are audiobook editions of eight of my twelve books on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes for everyone to enjoy.




The Hostile is book 1 of The Hostile 4-book series of paranormal crime thrillers. I was the narrator on this audiobook, which is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. In a rundown area of Manchester, inside the bathroom of a terraced house overflowing with children and dysfunctional parents, a small but powerful entity befriends young Serena with disastrous results. This unlikely enigmatic force not only dramatically affects introverted Serena’s life but also threatens the well-being of everyone she knows, especially those who've earned the strange girl’s displeasure. It soon becomes clear that nobody should ever upset Serena if they know what’s good for them. After enjoying The Hostile, you’ll never look at D.I.Y. in the same way again. http://adbl.co/2w2YLIm

Her demonic Angel consists of fourteen of my short stories. I wrote them in a variety of genres, so there should be something for everyone.

Random Bullets is a contemporary crime thriller with a paranormal twist, set in Jersey, Manchester, London, and places not of this world.

Potholes and Magic Carpets is a contemporary character-driven novel. It looks at the dramatic incidents, challenges, and temptations in the lives of four couples of varying ages, professions and sexual persuasions, all linked by blood or friendship. The negative, selfish, sometimes violent natures of some characters in the book wreak havoc on the innocent. A tale of not so simple folk. The page-turning action in Potholes and Magic Carpets takes place in rural Kent and London. Narrated by Tracey Norman, the audiobook is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. http://adbl.co/2iDAFvh
