I just finished a book called THE KING OF MACAU by Jake Needham.

I don't usually review books, but in this case I made an exception.

Here is my review from Goodreads:

Another winner from Jake Needham.

The book is set amongst the backdrop of Macau and is very well put together.

Jack Shepherd becomes the unwilling hero in a plot involving millions of dollars.

The action is fast moving, with plenty of surprises along the way.

I could not put it down and read the whole thing in a day.

Highly recommended....

It is that time of year again when everyone is winding down for the festive season.

In an effort to join the fun, I have setup a few days for my book "Nuclear Surprise" to be absolutely free on the Amazon Kindle Store!

Spread the word, it would make an ideal Christmas present at this price!

To all that have read the novel, thank you for spending time with me on the journey. Reviews have all been positive so far at Amazon, in fact it has 5 stars, so I could not wish for more for my first book.

I a...

For the first time ever, my thriller "Nuclear surprise" is free on amazon for 48 hours, 28-29 August.

Tell your friends to get in early !!!

Rob.

Book 2 is now starting to take shape.

The main plot is finalised and I am working on the first draft.

Cover has been designed, and I am very happy with it.

If you click the books link, you can take a look at the cover.

It shows a Nazi submarine and a modern cruise ship. The book is all about the link between the two!

Stay tuned for more.

Lots of people have mentioned to me that they can't buy my book "Nuclear Surprise" because they don't have a Kindle.

A Kindle is a small electronic type notepad a bit like an ipod mini, the size of a book. It has a screen that lets you read it outdoors. The books get downloaded via wifi to the device and you can then read it just like a book. There is heaps of storage and you can store many books. I received one for a gift about 2 years ago and I just love it.

But fear not, you do not have to h...

The 28th of January 2013 was a huge day for me!

This was the day that my first novel was finally published.

It can be found at Amazon here:

You do not need a Kindle to read it as there is a free Kindle Reader application for PC, ipad, iphone, and Android.

If you do decide to read it, please make sure to drop me a note and let me know what you thought of the book.

I am a new writer. Writing a book was always a dream of mine, and it is now a reality. My first book "Nuclear Surprise" has recently been published in the Kindle estore!

The book is a terrorism thriller based on a number of actual events. My inspiration for the book came from a friend of mine who is ex-U.S. navy. He told me a little of what it was like being stationed in the Persian Gulf. I wrote the first two chapters while on an aeroplane doing a 4 hour business flight and they are pretty mu...
