Mistake

“He was not greedy as the newspapers hinted and he wasn’t mixed up in anything shady, in fact, if he had been dishonest he might still be alive.
He was just an honest bloke who worked for a big firm and who made the mistake of noticing something in a long string of numbers.
He took his discovery to his boss and within a very short space of time he was bundled into a van on his way home from work and never seen in one piece again.
His boss disappeared but showed up in a country which does not have an extradition treaty with anybody to speak of but there was no way this bloke was the brains of whatever it was that got Victor sliced and diced.”

Book Review of The Long Weekend

Sam and Scarlett found each other later in life; no teenage romance between these pages.

They each had a career before they met and now there are compromises to be made, but that’s okay.

It’s a little over a year since they were married and life has been hectic so a little ‘together time’ is called for. Where better than Melbourne’s best old hotel, the elegant Hotel Windsor?

Four days of dining, walking and lying in each other’s arms. At least that was the plan. “Tell God your plans and watch him laugh.”

Sam has been trying to disengage from his old life, but a police detective and a dead body lying near Melbourne’s legendary coffee bar, Pellegrini’s, have other ideas.

It’s not all bad news for Sam and Scarlett. There will be tender moments interspersed with fisticuffs and investigation.

This weekend marks a critical time in their relationship. An exciting life is threatening to get between them. Scarlett’s family empire requires her constant attention and Sam is doing his best to help her.

How did they meet and what did Sam have to do to woo her? She grew up with great wealth and Sam had fought his way to the top of his profession. In recent times, his writing had eclipsed his fame as an investigator. Sam thinks that these things are behind him, but fate has a way of catching up with people and Sam is in for a surprise or two.

The Long Weekend is a novella; the perfect length for our modern times.

There will be adventures to come for our indomitable couple, but in the meantime you can read about their weekend together and the forces that conspire to unsettle their solitude.

The Long Weekend makes it into print…. on real paper.

If I look pleased it’s because I am; and it’s not just because James Bond is standing behind me!

My first novella is now in print; real print, on real paper!

Of course it has been an eBook for a couple of weeks but there is something about holding an actual book in your hands that puts a smile on your face.

I have sold a copy as well….. so that’s good. One of my friends likes ‘real books’ and he waited until they arrived, and bought one. Very cool.

The package arrived a couple of days ago and I was having a particularly bad day so I waited until the next day before I opened it. I didn’t want to waste the experience.

There is a law that says that when an author opens their book for the first time, to any random page, they will find a typo. It’s true….. but only a misplaced comma…… not the end of the world.

I hope you will forgive me for ‘blowing my own horn’, but this is how it goes when you are on your own in the publishing business. I would much rather someone else would blow the horn for me, but I’m learning how to do it myself.

As you have probably worked out, the book has its own blog page and I add a new short ‘Sam and Scarlett’ story each week. Feel free to wander over there and check it out.

If you haven’t purchased my book yet then please consider purchasing it as the proceeds go towards paying the publishing costs and if there is any left over it will help with the costs of my new book.

If the genre of the book does not interest you but you would like to support me with a small donation, then you can hit the PayPal button in the top right hand corner of the page and leave me a tip.

No matter how small, all help is appreciated.
