I have completed my personal challenge.

Despite having a hectic workload and coming down sick with the flu, I still completed a novel within the two month period that I had first set out.

Despite the speed that it was done in, I found it very rewarding, worthwhile and enjoyable, and I hope my readers will to.

It should be available in early April through most online services, in ebook, plus soft and hard cover.

'Author'

 Blackett Hill, a small community with no children wasn't on any map.  When a best selling author goes there for an unwelcomed book signing and is killed, its unusual residents are more than just alarmed.  They are frightened.

 As Detective Douglas, a surly, stubborn police officer, investigates the murder, he finds the town's doctor blocking his every move.  When the entire town shuns him, his capable assistant Sgt. Ryan is caught in the middle.

 With no murder weapon and too many suspects, the officers have to resort to unusual tactics to unravel what they believe maybe the truth.  But nothing is what it seems, and karma has its own ideas.

 'Author', is a murder mystery with more than just a twist.  When even the murder weapon can not be identified, the police need to dive into some unusual aspects of the publishing industry.  As the detective focusses on Roger Blackett, the man that owns the property that the town is built on, more than just the gloves are removed.]]><![CDATA[November 27th, 2017]]>Tue, 28 Nov 2017 01:24:51 GMThttps://www.richardmyerscough.com/blog/november-27th-2017The Ebook is already on Amazon and on the other Ebook platforms shortly.  The soft and hard covers should be available in one or two weeks.  If order quickly it still should arrive by Christmas.]]><![CDATA[November 09th, 2017]]>Thu, 09 Nov 2017 19:07:09 GMThttps://www.richardmyerscough.com/blog/november-09th-2017
