I'm an author and a reader. I write dark thrillers - Peril, The Baptist, The Crucible - and read thrillers and literary fiction.

I've pedalled the pushbike of life until the chain fell off. Now living in rural Ireland where the natives are friendly and the weather atrocious, I write crime fiction and thrillers.

Ruby's News is my mail list with freebies, pre-release info and other updates. As a welcome gift each new subscriber can choose a free e-copy of one of my books in their format of choice (epub, mobi, pdf). Go to my blog or http://eepurl.com/iNvvP to subscribe.

Ruby reviews White Butterfly by Saoirse Prendergast

 


An extremely moving story of bereavement,coercive control and redemption.

You can’t get much morevulnerable than a young girl who believes she has failed to prevent a belovedparent’s death. WhiteButterfly’s depictionof a person who would then exploit such an innocent and damaged young woman is totallybelievable and at the same time someone you hope wouldn’t appear in real life –but they do.

Ruby Barnes I'm running a Goodreads giveaway of 1 copy of Peril, a crime thriller.

Peril by Ruby Barnes

Peril is the story of Gerard Mayes, an anti-hero. Men want to be him, women want to redeem him. Ger's story is fiction, but his origins are real - everyday folk living and working in a Dublin city center wracked with organised begging, drug addicts, and violent crime. It's not all leprechauns and shillelaghs in Ireland.

Ger is a slacker. A consumer. He thinks life owes him, takes what he can and goes with the flow. His perspective on life, like that of another famous slacker The Big Lebowski, is sometimes humorous, but the story takes a noir turn when Ger kills a mugger and is held to account for it. All things move toward their end, of that you can be sure.

Contains occasional strong language and peril.

You can enter the giveaway here:
http://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

Cheers
Ruby
