Hi everyone,

It’s a very exciting time to be a writer.

There’s a lot of freedom, not just to express ourselves but to experiment with different release methods. There’s more opportunity than ever before to follow our gut and give seemingly crazy things a try.

So that’s exactly what I’m doing right now when I announce the launch of not one, but TWO Blake Dent mysteries, right here on day one.

And the first of those books is absolutely free this weekend.

The books are Bubblegum Smoothie and Cucumber Coolie. Those amazing covers to the left? That’s them. You can read more about them on their respective pages by clicking their titles, but for now, take one portion of darkness, add a large handful of humour, sprinkle a helping of mystery on top, and you end up with the Blake Dent mysteries. Darkness that the McDone fans will enjoy, but also a satiric commentary on contemporary detective fiction.

But mostly just a lot of fun.

Why am I releasing two books on one day?

Well, because I’m crazy probably. But mostly because I wanted to give my readers a little extra for their support over the last two years. That, and I love a challenge.

And why have I made the first book free for the next few days?

A gift, really. A gift for you to enjoy. And if you do enjoy it, it’d be very cool if you reviewed it and then went on to read the next book, Cucumber Coolie, for just $3.99/£2.99.

Enjoy the books. I had an absolute blast writing them. There will definitely be more of Blake Dent in the near future.

Until then, I’ll have more on Sunlight. McDone 4 and Dead Days Season 4 very soon. Have fun and keep on doing what you enjoy!

Ryan.
