I've just received my updated edition of 'A Slice of the Seventies'

Flicking through my recently redesigned and republished copy of 'A Slice of the Seventies' that the postman delivered this week. The poor man has had a busy time, as I have received newly redesigned paperbacks of all of my books through the post this week. I'm delighted with the results and it was well worth the huge amount of effort to personally redo the eight covers and update the end matter in both paperback and Kindle formats.

There's a small picture of Jimi Hendrix amidst the other cover images on 'A Slice of the Seventies'. Some might say that Hendrix is more 60s than 70s, but I saw him play live at the Isle of Wight Music Festival in the summer of 1970, a few weeks before he died at such a young age. I write about the Festival and many other things in my memoir, 'A Slice of the Seventies'. It is the first book in my loosely autobiographical Mug Trilogy. 'The Lying Scotsman' and 'Straws' are the others in the series.

The Kindle version is £0.99 on Amazon until 31st July along with all my other Kindle editions. I still prefer paperbacks and that's why I made paperback versions as well as Kindles for each of my eight books

A Slice of the Seventies.

Feeling nostalgic? The Kindle edition of A SLICE OF THE SEVENTIES, is FREE on Amazon today, Friday 9th September for one day only.

A Slice of the Seventies

A Slice of the Seventies (The Mug Trilogy, #1) by Joy Mutter A Slice of the Seventies is the first book in the Mug Trilogy. The Kindle edition was published on Amazon in July 2015 and the paperback version in November 2015. It 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 to an abattoir and 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 a very public suicide. Whether you were around in that decade or not, you're bound to enjoy this nostalgic Slice of the Seventies.

This loosely autobiographical book can be read without having to read the other two books in the trilogy, The Lying Scotsman and Straws. The same applies to these other two standalone books in the series. The Mug Trilogy is available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle editions, as are my other five books in various genres. Two of my books are also available as audiobooks on Audible, Amazon and iTunes. All eight Kindle versions are only £2.25 each or equivalent currency on Amazon and I keep the paperback prices as low as possible. My eight Kindles are all FREE to Kindle Unlimited subscribers.

The audiobook of A Slice of the Seventies went live yesterday

A Slice of the Seventies (The Mug Trilogy, #1) by Joy Mutter 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.

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.”

My eight audiobooks

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

The Hostile by Joy Mutter


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

Holiday for the Hostile by Joy Mutter


Holiday for the Hostile is book 2 of The Hostile series. Narrated by Alexander Doddy, the audiobook is available on Audible, Amazon, 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? http://adbl.co/2wg4j21

The Hostile Game by Joy Mutter


The Hostile Game is book 3 of The Hostile series. Narrated by Alexander Doddy, the audiobook is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. 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 when a retired Irish police superintendent becomes more involved than perhaps he should have. http://adbl.co/2fLE2Cz

Confronting The Hostile (The Hostile, #4) by Joy Mutter


Confronting The Hostile is book 4 in The Hostile paranormal crime thriller series. Narrated by Alexander Doddy. the audiobook is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. 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? http://amzn.to/2vm1Vpn

Her demonic Angel by Joy Mutter


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. Some tales are stranger than others, but all are different shades of dark. Narrated by me, the audiobook can be found on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. http://adbl.co/2fMmeqN

Random Bullets by Joy Mutter


Random Bullets is a contemporary crime thriller with a paranormal twist, set in Jersey, Manchester, London, and places not of this world. After shooting and killing his nephew, a gunman runs amok in a London park. What drives Edward to commit such atrocities? Who will survive yet another of his moments of madness? Narrated by Alexander Doddy, the audiobook is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. http://adbl.co/2jQ09qt

Potholes and Magic Carpets by Joy Mutter


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

A Slice of the Seventies (The Mug Trilogy, #1) by Joy Mutter


A Slice of the Seventies tells the loosely autobiographical 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. Narrated by Tracey Norman, the audiobook is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes.
