Hi Folks, I hope you are all keeping warm in these Artic climes in the Northern Hemisphere. I’m staying indoors far too much, but then I am a bit of a whimp when it comes to cold weather. I’m also planning my new mystery series which I will send a seperate email about later. It will be called the Seacastle Mysteries and will be written under my PJ Skinner pen name (probably).
If it’s February, it must be book launch time! Fighting Green (under the pen name of Kate Foley), and set in Ireland, is now available on Amazon in ebook and paperback (both normal and large print). You can order the paperbacks from your favourite retailers too.
The book follows the affect of a life changing decision on Liz Green and her boyfriend Sean O’Connor. The theme is change, and whether you can successfully return to your past without blighting your future.

 My Beta readers loved Fighting Green, so I hope you will too. I would love you to support me by ordering this book. The ebook costs about the same as a coffee and I hope you trust me to write something you love by now. 😊 Please feel free to share the link and tell your friends if they would like this book.  
Going back to your past can be harder than you imagine
Liz Green is desperate for a change. The Dot-Com boom is raging in the City of London, and she feels exhausted and out of her depth. Added to that, her long-term boyfriend, Sean O’Connor, is drinking too much and shows signs of going off the rails. Determined to start anew, Liz abandons both Sean and her job, and buys a near-derelict house in Ireland to renovate.

She moves to Thomastown where she renews old ties and makes new ones, including two lawyers who become rivals for her affection. When Sean’s attempt to win her back goes disastrously wrong, Liz finishes with him for good. Finding herself almost penniless, and forced to seek new ways to survive, Liz is torn between making a fresh start and going back to her old loves. Her options diminish as the problems mount, and she doesn’t know who to trust anymore.

Can Liz make a go of her new life, and maybe find a second chance romance?

This is the third book in the Green Family Saga. If you like drama and romance in an Irish setting, you’ll love this follow up to Rebel Green and Africa Green.

Preorder Mortal Mission at a discount

My hard sci-fi mystery, Mortal Mission is on on pre-order. I hope you like the cover. You may notice that I have used Elon Musk’s Starship as the vehicle for the adventure. I have done a ton of research on the technology in this book, which I enjoyed very much, and I welcome comments to improve any glitches.

Mortal Mission is out on Preorder – so what’s it about?

Astronauts are dying on the first crewed mission to Mars. Is it bad luck, or something far more sinister?
An international mission to search for life on Mars meets heated opposition from the religious right in the USA. Astronaut Hattie Fredericks’ dream is realised when she is selected for the voyage, but her presence on the Starship coincides with a series of incidents which threaten to derail the mission. After a near-miss while landing on Mars, the world watches as Hattie and the crew struggle to survive. But worse than the harsh elements are her suspicions that someone is trying to destroy the mission. After several crew members die, Hattie doesn’t know who to trust. And her only allies are 35 million miles away. As the tension ratchets up, violence and suspicion invade both worlds.
Will Hattie discover life on Mars, or die trying?  

Background

The idea for this story emerged out of my fascination with space travel. While watching the landing of the Perseverance rover on the surface of Mars. I couldn’t help wondering ‘what if’ all the time; the author’s curse. It has been quite an adventure writing two new genres at once but I really enjoyed the challenge. I think of it as a cross between an Agatha Christie mystery in an isolated place and the Da Vinci Code in space. Let me know what you think…

My Beta readers loved Mortal Mission, and I am ready to publish. So I would like to offer it to you at a discount on preorder. I would love you to support me by ordering this book. It costs about the same as a cheap coffee and I hope you trust me to write something you love by now. 😊 Please feel free to share the discount and tell your friends, if they would like this book.  

Please review my books if you have enjoyed them

If you could recommend my books on Amazon or on Goodreads, I would be so grateful. The life of a relatively unsuccessful indie author is pretty tough if no one recommends the author’s books.

Thank you and Best wishes
