What if you went missing and couldn't remember anything?
So here it is, the blurb of THE GAME CHANGER
What if you went
missing and couldn’t remember anything?
When Dr Kate Pearson
was twelve years old she was abducted,
but she has no memory
of the time she was held.
Over twenty years
later, an anonymous note is pushed under her door…
I REMEMBER YOU, KATE
And suddenly Kate’s
distant past becomes her present.
When Kate discovers
that her parents lied to her about the length of time
she was missing, she
is forced to question everything about her childhood,
including the
involvement of her father in a secret group in the 1980s.
Is the suspected
suicide of an ex headmaster in Dublin and a brutal
murder in New York
connected to her abduction all those years ago –
and how was her
father involved?
While Kate delves
deeper into the recesses of her memory to uncover the
truth, a cold-blooded
killer and sinister cult leader, is bearing down on her.
THE GAME CHANGER is
out for revenge. Someone has to pay for
the sins of the past.

Your genre chooses you, instead of the other way around!
It is always wonderful to hear about an author's writing journey, especially debut authors, and crime authors at that!! Put on the kettle and enjoy Kelly Creighton's story over at www.writing.ie..
* * * * *
I never saw myself as a crime writer. To begin with all I wanted to do was write a book; it was a personal challenge I'd set myself after not writing at all for ten years. Looking back, maybe it would have been helpful to ask myself early on what I liked to read, and what kind of writer I aspired to be, to try to direct my output better. For two years I worked on a (now shelved) novel, attended a course and many workshops. I started submitting my poems and short stories to journals, gaining a few acceptances out of a huge mountain of rejections. Any positive feedback that anyone gave me about my work, I wrote down and kept to look at when I got another rejection, so I wouldn’t be tempted to pack it all in......READ MORE HERE

READING IRELAND
It is always great to discuss Irish crime fiction, so I was delighted to be a contributor in this month's READING IRELAND - THE LITTLE MAGAZINE. The article is titled 'Irish Crime Fiction - Emerald Noir or Emerald Diversity?'
The aim of the journal and website is to provide in-depth analysis of Irish literature, past and present, through a series of essays and articles written by Adrienne Leavy (editor) and other Irish and American writers and academics, along with opening a window onto the best of contemporary Irish poetry, prose and drama.
Well worth supporting!!
