Finding Solace - Paperbacks Now Available

Last time I announced that Finding Solace (Book Five) had been released as an e-book. A few people emailed me to say "Karl, I love the smell of paper, call me old-fashioned!" or words along those lines. Well, the paperback versions of Finding Solace are also now available! Find links to buy them here, or just order them from your local bookshop (Paperback ISBN 978-1-911278-39-9).

I have recently tweaked all my Lost Solace paperback covers, too, in case you are after a full set.

Secret Cycling

A bit of insider info: these are photos I took while near Inverness, Scotland. Cycling along these lanes was the direct inspiration for my cycling suspense story "How I Wonder What You Are" in It Will Be Quick.

That story was many people's favourite, due to its believability, and how the everyday can lurch so quickly into horror. (No, it isn't a monster/horror/supernatural story, just a realistic sequence of events - the kind of thing you might enjoy if you like the awesome and unbelievably tense Scottish film Calibre.)

"How I Wonder What You Are" is a tale of obsession, modern fears, the difficulty of love and relationships, and isolation, within the framework of "city dweller uncomfortable in rural place".

Readers told me they loved the unexpected directions of the story. Well, I had three possible endings in my head as I wrote it, then just let it flow. If you've read the story, you'll know which one I ended up with. :-)

Thanks for reading,

Karl
