Hi everyone,

I hope you've all had a super time during the Christmas holidays and not over-indulged too much!
Christmas is an extra- special time for me, since my birthday falls on the 28th December. So I thought I'd celebrate by making one of my favourite books free today: THE ASSASSINS' VILLAGE - the 1st in the Diana Rivers Murder Mystery Thriller Series. I know thousands of you will have had a new e Reader for Christmas and will be busy loading yours with new books - so please don't forget mine!
I particularly enjoyed writing this book since it is set in Cyprus where I spend the majority of my time. The peace and tranquility of our village is perfect for writing and I make the most of it when I can. I've had many people ask if The Assassins' Village is based on my village - well, I can tell you that it is a mixture of different places and people. I've taken a little bit from here and there and it was great fun to write. I can't say any more than that else I might be sued!!

Next year I will be publishing my latest Romantic Suspense, 'A Very French Affair' in Jan/February followed by the 5th Diana Rivers Murder Mystery, 'Evil has some unfinished business'...after that I have a few more ideas and I'll keep you posted.
So download all you like and I'll take this opportunity to wish you all a Very Happy New Year!
Thanks for looking in

A Very Merry Christmas to Everyone!

Hello there,

It is almost time when 'the' magic day for adults and children alike is upon us. What have I got to say? Well, I've thought about making up something smart/well-meaning/from the heart/funny/smulchy but there's many clever Christmas messages already out there. It's not a competition. Some of my favourites are;

Christmas is for children. But it is for grownups too. Even if it is a headache, a chore, and nightmare, it is a period of necessary defrosting of chill and hide-bound hearts. Lenora Mattingly Weber,

The rooms were very still while the pages were softly turned and the winter sunshine crept in to touch the bright heads and serious faces with a Christmas greeting. Louisa May Alcott

But I am sure that I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round... as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely. Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol


The past year has been on the whole good for me. I've made some wonderful friends, visited some amazing places, experienced events both rich and heart-stopping momentous. In truth I've been fortunate enough doing what I like doing most and the year has been rewarding.
But looking back, some of the year's world happenings have been dreadful, sad and shattering - and although I've not been directly affected many of my friends have. I really hope 2013 will prove to be a better year for the many thousands, nay, millions who have suffered.
Christmas should be a time of rejoicing; we should honour this precious interval in our hearts. And thinking about it, not only during this festive, holiday period but wouldn't it be better if we honoured it throughout the year? If we give others friendship, love and respect all year long then we can hope those good things will come back to us. An enriched life is a joy to behold.

Finally, I have to thank all my friends, followers, fans and readers of my books for making 2012 the most amazing of years. Thank you, thank you, thank you - I could never do this without you. Here's to 2013 and YOU!

ANNOUNCING THE RELEASE OF 'CAMERA ACTION...MURDER!'

4/12/2012

Good Day!

I’m thrilled today to announce the 4th book in the Diana Rivers Murder Mystery Suspense series; CAMERA ACTION…MURDER!

I know some of you lovely people have been waiting for ages to get your hands on this…and here it is! It’s Diana at her best, getting embroiled in trouble before she’s even unpacked her suitcase! I’ve included a short synopsis below to whet your appetite and you can of course buy a copy on Amazon. For your convenience I’ve put in some links below.

Camera Action… Murder!

Diana Rivers hadn’t intended to visit England that summer but the invitation to take part in a film-shoot seemed too exciting an opportunity to miss. Life had been quiet for the last year or so and she looked forward to renewing old friendships and meeting a handful of well-known film stars.

The only fly in the ointment, was the venue. Years before, Diana had suffered a terrifying experience in Cheltenham, England – an encounter which she thought she’d resolved. Reassuring her partner, Steve that all was well and that dreadful episode was behind them, they went ahead and confirmed their acceptance.

 Little did she know that the filming was only a minor part of the show about to be enacted. Once again, Diana is drawn into events which threaten to spiral out of control. When a beautiful young actress is accidently killed, Diana’s reaction is to turn to more sinister thoughts. Was it an accident or was it…murder?

A second body leaves everyone reeling and this time there is no doubt. A callous and vicious murderer or murderers are at large. Diana is fast embroiled in discovering the hard facts, not knowing that she is placing herself in great danger. Watch out Diana! You might be next…

I sincerely hope you enjoy your read of this 4th DIANA RIVERS novel and please remember I’m always grateful for your views, comments and reviews on Amazon. I’ve said it a dozen times and I never tire of saying, YOU - my friends and readers are the most important people when it comes to reading my books.

Thank you, thank you, and thank you!

Have a great read and a fabulous day.

Faithx
