***AUGUST AWARENESS GIVEAWAY***

I've been writing for 15 years or so but it's a saturated market and I guess I'm still pretty much unknown outside of my immediate sphere of influence.
To rectify that (hopefully) I've made my entire catalogue (only six novels) totally FREE to download on Kindle from 2nd to 5th August.

I also have limited FREE Audiobook codes for US and UK versions of The Ajax File and Realm of Ruin. Might have a few for A Child of Szabo which have not been redeemed too.

So, if you like YA fantasy epics, Adult Fantasy or fast-paced thrillers...

'In a land plagued by seemingly endless conflict, a new and even greater threat has emerged. The balance of power has shifted, fresh weapons and untold horrors unleashed. The only hope of salvation hinges on the return of a hero. A legend. A warrior without equal.

Braydion Chell is a world-weary, nihilist sell-sword haunted by his past. Loved by the opposite sex and feared by his own. He can count the things he cares about on one hand. Three of those are in mortal danger. He must conquer his demons and somehow achieve the impossible, risking all to save not only his country, but also his closest friends.

Some fight to live. Others live to fight.'

Triggers; Mild violence, mild spice.

I have around twenty audiobook codes left for my thriller (18+) 'A Child of Szabo' if any members are interested?
Drop me a pms if so.
First come, first served.
'A teenage rebel with a tragic past finds herself on the edge of the abyss. Offered one final chance of redemption by an enigmatic stranger, she is recruited into a secret society of assassins formed by Winston Churchill after the Second World War. It has been operating clandestinely for years. Protecting. Hunting. Killing.
But for who?
With only a career civil servant as back-up, she unleashes hell and discovers the enemy is inside the wire. The stakes are larger than she could ever imagine but now she must battle for survival against known and unseen enemies in a do or die existence to become the best. For only then can she take out those who killed her family.
Those who are now determined to kill her.'
All I ask is a review in return.
Triggers - Violence, Mild Sex.

I'm an author of six novels but have found it increasingly difficult to attract readers. So, please pm me if you'd like a free electronic file.

Have a great day.

Realm of Ruin: A Braydion Chell Novel

A Child of Szabo

The Ajax File

At long last, the new novel has appeared.

The Ajax File

'An horrific shooting on a crowded London commuter train in broad daylight sparks a determined manhunt. A desperate search for a killer. As well as the seemingly ordinary traveller who attempted to intervene.
Who was he? And why on earth did he run?
Answers are needed and fast. Because the police are not the only ones looking.

Miles Dalton is more at home in front of his computer than out in the real world. Now, the self-confessed nerd finds himself the centre of his very own life or death adventure game, hunted relentlessly by skilled teams of killers who have no intention at all of taking him in alive.

His only hope for survival is D.S. Sam Lennox. However, she is battling demons of her own.
New, untested, surrounded by resentment and plagued by her past, Lennox faces an impossible choice.
To save herself and her fledgling career.
Or risk everything for a complete stranger and do what she knows to be right.'

Triggers; PTSD, Violence (16+)

It's my birthday.

I have two new Conn Iggulden's to add to my reading pile and I'm felling blessed.

I'd just like to wish all you readers out there a glorious day, year and life.

Sincere best wishes,

That is all,

Martin

I have come to the conclusion that I am pants at marketing.
The world's worst. Officially, a hopeless case.
Writing is the easy part. Trying to 'sell' your novels to an increasingly sceptical audience saturated by 'new talent' since Covid and and the addition of A.I., really is beyond an old dinosaur like me.
The tech-savvy new breed of writer seems to have it down to an art form. Me, I struggle in the morning sometimes to turn on my P.C.
I've discovered that acceptance and a realigning of one's expectations is the real key to contentment.
These days, I'm grateful for the odd review and anything else is a bonus.
Maybe I should have adopted this approach many moons ago? I may have saved my hair , my vanishing bank balance and enjoyed a far more peaceful, less stressful existence.
With age comes wisdom as they say.
Respect to all you readers and reviewers out there. Keep supporting indie authors. :-)

Those who know me will tell you I think that what you see is what you get. No hidden agenda. Honesty...

It's no secret I've been immensely disappointed and baffled by the poor response to my new novel in terms of interest/sales.

So, I was delighted and extremely thankful today to receive this private message/review;

'I've just finished your book. It was hard for me at the start because it's not my usual type of read but I really got into it. It's a good story and I could visualise all the scenes. It would make a good film. It's like Lord of the Rings.' :-)

I have found it increasingly difficult to reach readers/reviewers on this site as I attempt to comply with the rules. My latest novel has been out weeks with no reviews.

All this is probably my fault as the demands of a full-time job, family, writing and editing leave little time for networking...

So, I'm not sure anyone will actually read this post but if you read electronically, I'm happy to send a pdf file of any of my novels upon request in return for an honest review.
