Hi

Just to say that my second thriller 'Double Bind' was published on Kindle on 1st July.



It's a psychological thriller. Here's the back cover:

Identity is precious. But you never know how precious it is until you lose it.

What if you saw someone just like you with the one you love? Not just like you. Someone who is you.

What would you do to uncover the truth?

Successful writer Raymond Bridges must unravel a mystery that goes to the heart of his being and raises irresolvable doubts about his identity.

A quest that leads him to question so much of what he finds in the world around him – even Victoria’s love.

Here's the book's Goodreads page:

'You Can't Shatter Me' my YA magical realism novella with a solutions-for-bullying theme is out now. http://www.amazon.com/You-Cant-Shatte...
There's some terrific reviews there too.

Hello!

My novel is out on Kindle! Here's the link and the description:

http://www.amazon.com/Lullaby-No-Mans...

Set in an unnamed city of an unnamed country during the early 1990s, the story begins in a Home for Children without Parental Care. While many come and go, Klara, Vuk, and Shorty grow up there since birth. They don’t know who abandoned them, or why; they do not dwell on their beginnings. Instead, they work hard to beat the odds and reach a better end. A leitmotif of abandonment and neglect threatens quieter notes of love; cold, grey institutions threaten the melody of music, photography, and sports.

This story belongs to a girl whose sincerity and sarcasm reveal the many faces of hypocrisy, as well as the inhumane neglect of large state bodies meant to protect the smaller individual. It is also the story of a boy whose delicate soul and fighting instinct drive him to strike back and survive when he is victimized by an institution that washes its hands of him.

Hello, Goodreaders!

We are pleased and privileged to join the Goodreads world. A twofold opportunity, we are happy to provide a selection of stories from our premiere author Andrew Yorke, and excited to discover new authors and inspired literature.
 As part of our introduction to Goodreads, we have a special offer for members. From today (Monday) through Thursday, our first two e-books— 'Sharon Tate' and 'Waiting for Love at Airports'—will be available through the Amazon Kindle Store absolutely free.

'Sharon Tate' provides unique insight into one of the iconic figures of the 20th century. Murdered by members of Charles Manson's ‘Family’ less than three weeks before she was to give birth, actress Sharon Tate left behind a legacy of personal strength and open compassion. Author Andrew Yorke, under the supervision of Sharon's sister Debra Tate, examines her life—from birth to death—in brilliant prose that transcends her life to touch the human experience.

'Waiting for Love at Airports' is Andrew Yorke's short fiction debut. Unabashedly personal, it leaves the most hardened cynic with an inescapable optimism. Yorke's narrator opens with a declaration of love and cynicism, then proceeds to sort out the two in a winding tale of love and relationships that hits every note on the scale.

We are also happy to offer readers the author's soundtrack to both stories. Through the web site 8tracks and featuring artists such as Handel, The Beach Boys, Radiohead, Nick Drake, The Antlers, and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, the soundtracks further immerse readers in Yorke's world—a tangent from reality conceived by intensely real words.

  To listen to the soundtrack for 'Sharon Tate' and 'Waiting for Love at Airports', click here

We hope you enjoy the free books and their accompanying soundtracks! To stay up to date with future releases, you can follow us here on Goodreads, or you can visit us on Facebook and Twitter.

Happy reading. Please be sure to recommend stories to us as well!

My short story collection, Curiosity Killed the Sphinx and Other Stories, published by Hollywood Books International, was just released on Kindle this week.

Laying the profound beside the mundane, author Katherine L. Holmes creates rich and complicated characters who search for identity, meaning, and purpose within a world often dangerous and sometimes even cruel.

A couple clashing with early computers, a divorced woman finding her scattered family to be strangers, a girl running away to the shop where her parents’ antiques were sold, Midwestern college students in weather and water emergencies – these are some of the conflicts examined by the author. Past solutions tempt these characters as they consider contemporary choices.

Curiosity Killed the Sphinx and Other Stories

Here are the tweets (with links) for School of the Ages 3: The War Against Love.

" Prepare, Simon. This is no school exercise. It is a fight for your life."

Attacked in New York City by vicious members of the Nazi magicians' cabal Gott im Himmel, Simon and Goldberry are drawn into a deadly war that could destroy them both. As they travel across Europe with their mentor Dr. Solomon Archer, the young wizards must survive vicious foe after vicious foe. There is no time for love… but how can Simon resist the tempestuous beauty Ana Vorkina, daughter of the all-powerful Arch-Mage of Prague? And even if he can win her heart, will the ferocious threats they face drive them apart?

A majestic epic of bittersweet romance and bone-crunching blood-feud -- filled with horrendous shocks, stunning revelations, remorseless villains, ghosts, monsters, elementals, and devastating loss -- The War Against Love is a magical epic for the 21st century.

Thaddeus






Clean Coal Killers, second book in the Richard Paladin series, is now available in paper and as an e-book on Amazon.

When terrorists threaten the U.S. power grid, it's time to send in Richard Paladin, America's top Environmental Protection Agent. At least, that's how Paladin's new boss, Frank, describes the assignment. But when Paladin starts digging through the personnel files at a Pennsylvania coal-fired power plant, he finds a lot more than the EPA bargained for—like a partner who's not playing straight with him, a security guard who appears more spook than goon, a stripper who's a little too interested in him, and an old flame he knows is a professional agent. And even though someone really is leaking security information about the plant, his fellow government thugs are more concerned with something else, something that smells a whole lot like corruption on a congressional scale. But Paladin's in Pennsylvania to do a job, and despite the distractions of temptresses and thugs, he damned sure plans to find the leak—and plug it.

Thanks, Betty , for your review. I really appreciate the kind words!

Just released a reworked book, Death in The Fishing Net. .

His new wife, Stevie – twenty years younger than him – and his son, Greg, reluctantly come to the view that he’s guilty until Greg unearths a massive cover-up by his mother’s ex-employees that points to Monroe being set-up. While Monroe’s guilt seems in doubt, tragedy strikes.

Hey Folks,

My new SF novel SPEEDWING is now on available on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Speedwing-ebook... in the Kindle store for $4.99. I'm
starting to get some good reviews, but I would always appreciate more.

I'm offering up reviews (on the site of your choice) of your books in exchange for one of my book at Amazon. I'm not asking for 5 stars here,
just a good, honest review. If you're unpublished, I would also be willing to look at your work and comment on it.

I will be getting my author copies of the print version soon, and I'm willing to sweeten the pot with an autographed copy if you buy SPEEDWING on the Kindle. Just let me know if you're interested in that.

I'll try and post a pic of the cover when I get a chance.

Thanks everyone, and good luck!

Five out of Five 5-Star Reviews at Amazon.

Regular Guy Syndrome : Surviving Sex & Socialism in America

Fun, sexy, contemporary fiction with a conservative twist.

If you are interested in something different....

http://www.amazon.com/Regular-Guy-Syn...

5, 5 star reviews ... and yet none of them mentioned a certain something, which surprises me. No offence.

Not sure what offense I should take.

Nothing at all. What i said shouldn't offend you, since it wasn't meant offensive.

Anyways, check the title and good luck to you!

Thanks Seb!

My latest horror/suspense novel (and my first with SalGad Publishing) is out this week in ebook format. For a limited time, you can get it for FREE! I just hope that if you get it and read it, you leave a review!

http://www.amazon.com/Vicious-A-Novel...

A rising tide of racial violence. England burns. One man dreams of being a superhero, and begins a terrifying journey of self discovery.

A Darkening of Fortune is a dystopic near future novel, melding hard science fiction with elaborate crime thriller and action adventure.

"Joe — Yusef Iqbal, of Arab-Jewish extraction — has the chance to be a real life super hero, and end the violence at its source, but he quickly realises he's definitely not Ironman, Superman or Batman, when things don't quite work out the way they do in the movies.

But is there something more sinister and deadly lurking behind the scenes? A real life super villain?

No-one's clean. No-one's perfect. Everyone has a prejudice. And what price must Joe and the nation pay for victory, justice and peace?"

Reassuringly, the novel has been professionally proofread and copyedited.

Available for Kindle in the UK and US.

HEAD CASE is my third book, but the first that I am self-publishing, and it is hard work to get the word out, but the reviews so far have been great. I hope you will check it out and enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Here's the summary:

Meet Olivia Zack, neuroscientist, pharmaceutical consultant—and murder victim.

A humorous mystery from an author whose work has been called "simply riveting" by The New York Times and "sharp and fast-paced" by Publisher's Weekly—it’s Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones meets Carl Hiaasen’s Nature Girl (with a dash of Janet Evanovich’s One for the Money) as Olivia embarks on a postmortem quest to deconstruct the events that lead up to her mind-altering death.

A comic satire of the influence of the psychopharmaceutical industry on American life, HEAD CASE takes Olivia and her estranged friend and roommate Polly Warner on a collision course involving ethically challenged executives, spotlight-hungry celebrities, third-rate mobsters, and drug-dealing babushkas. A smart and savvy page-turner, HEAD CASE explores the meaning of personal relationships, emotional intelligence, and mental health while taking the reader on a synapse-stirring, neurotransmitting rollicking ride

My book of 10 short stories Instruments of Pleasure: Sex Toy Erotica is available for Kindle (and Nook). It includes two stories of mine, "Like This" and "The Spanking Machine" and 8 stories by other authors, about a range of toys. http://www.amazon.com/Instruments-Ple...

On the night of her arrival, Dana spies someone digging on her land. When Dana tries to solve the mystery, she uncovers a grave and finds her own life in danger. Dana must identify the killer or become the next vanished lady.
