Connecting Readers and Writers discussion

Hi all

I'm new to the group, and I thought I'd introduce myself and the hero of my books.

I'm an indie writer from the North West of England, and I write about a member of he Special Boat Service (SBS). OK so that sounds boring, but he books are not war stories, they're all action adventure, where the hero, Alec Fincham, is tasked with dealing with some very nasty people.

Anyway, for £1.00, why not take a look, and don't forget to have a look at my Facebook page.

Free Alec Fincham novella 29/8/2014 and 30/8/2014

It’s a novella and runs to 45500 words, so it’s just a little short of a book and runs to around 140 pages.
The new story is called Mongoose Variation

Alec Fincham is told that Kristina von Priller is not only still alive, but wants to carry out dastardly plan.
She wants to set the Arab nations and Israel at each other’s throats, simply to inflate the price of oil. If Israel is destroyed in the process, then so much the better.

This story sees the return of Kristina von Priller, who first appeared in Fried Fox and English Rat. However, you don’t have to read them both and they can be read as stand alone stories.

Perhaps I should actually provide some background to the novels?

Some have said they are crime novels, or action/adventure, or even war and espionage based. Perhaps a mix of all these is true.

Fincham is a professional soldier in the Special Boat Service, but is seconded to M.I.6. at Vauxhall Cross to investigate and in some instances assassinate person, or persons, who are deemed a threat to national security.

This sees him and his team travel the world at behest of the British Government.

Of course, there are guns, girls, and cars, but not in the Bond way. Nevertheless, a reviewer did compare the novels to Flemings famous creation, in that the books will leave you shaken and stirred.

And a little about one of the books. Let's start at the beginning.



The Barcza Gambit

Someone wants to keep the American military in Iraq, and possibly escalate the war. Fincham, in his first outing, finds himself in Miami, trying to figure out what’s really going on.

Feliks

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond. Things have been a little hectic.

Thank you for your offer\suggestion. I'll pop on over.

The new Alec Fincham novel, Red Queen, is available now.

She's deadly she's lethal, and she's after the same thing as Fincham!

Fincham is sent to Kazan to buy diamonds on behalf of British Intelligence. However, he is not the only interested party, as it’s more than diamonds everyone is willing to kill for. Not knowing who to trust, he takes on some unlikely allies and must fight to survive. If that was not enough, the FSB are also interested in speaking to Fincham…

Hi all
At the moment I'm having to study for an exam, so the writing is taking a bit of a back seat. Fincham will return though, in Accelerated Dragon.

In the meantime, here's what Fincham is all about, and a list of the books in order (although they don't have to be read that way).

Alec Fincham is part of the SBS, he’s based out of Poole in Dorset. His missions have taken him to America (Florida), Egypt, Australia, Singapore, Afghanistan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Sicily and Italy, Crete, Ukraine, Libya, Oman, Abu Dhabi, Venezuela and Germany.

Due to his military record, Fincham is seconded to the Special Operation Department of M.I.6. as a man of last resort. Although he is part of the Special Boat Service, he takes his orders from Sir Charles Cunningham at Vauxhall Cross.

He, and his team, have been selected to take on terrorists, drugs and arms dealers, mercenaries seeking revenge, and pirates.

They travel the world, and they are constantly in danger. They place their lives on the line, so that we may lead a better way of life.

The books are action\adventure based, with a little investigation, espionage, and combat thrown in. The reviews have been positive, so if the sound like your thing, then give them a try. You can also ask questions around the books and I'll attempt to answer them.

And the books, of course (£1.00/$1.00 and up).

Thanks all for taking the time to read

In the murky world of terrorism, drug smuggling, and illicit arms deals, the British Government turn to one man - Alec Fincham.

Hi all

I'm running a short promotion of the first book in the series which will be reduced to £1.99 from the 5th to the 9th of January.
The Barcza Gambit

The final book in the series will also be reduced to £2.99 from 4th January onwards.
Red Queen

We've had the Beast from the East, and Storm Emma. We've been fighting with our combi boilers, to keep us warm (and why did we design something that freezes in the cold, just when we need it the most?). So hopefully you're all warm indoors looking for a good book to settle down to!

Give Alec Fincham a try. There is plenty of excitement in these action adventure thrillers, and plenty of choice.

Alec Fincham is his Governments man of last resort, and these days he seems to be always busy. As professional soldier in the Special Boat Service (similar to a US Navy SEAL), he’s a highly trained killer. At heart he is a soldier, honourable and proud, but in modern times, his skills are needed by M.I.6. when there is no one else to turn to.

Fincham and his small team have to fight many a battle through the entire series of the books, which see him travel the globe. The adventures are set in the US, Sicily, Rome, Egypt, Australia, Singapore, Bahrain, Afghanistan and Iraq amongst many others.

One of the books from the beginning of the series, and one which really formed Alec Fincham as a character.
