Her latest erotic thriller RIDE THE TIGER,is available to order on Amazon and on Kindle. The trade paperback and Kindle and now it's available in the Kindle library - KDP Select.
For the next 3 months, starting January 2012, it can be checked out from the Kindle Library, JUST LIKE ANY LIBRARY BOOK. Look on Amazon.co.uk The Kindle Store for details of their KDP Select program.
And if that's not enough to make you want to read it - for 5 days within that period (from the 24th through the 28th of January) you can actually get a free copy to keep - if you have a Kindle Reader -- which will not make me any money, but I'm hoping if you enjoy RIDE THE TIGER, you will spread the word.
What's the story all about?
Fame, money and sex, that's what movie star Madelaine Brent wanted and she always got everything she wanted. But sometimes everything is too much and somebody can get murdered. Maddie remembered an ancient Chinese proverb:'She who rides the tiger better not dismount.' Was she about to fall off?
One critic said:
"This is the deeply penetrating story of a film star who puts her career and her erotic desires above all else. Madelaine Brent is willing to undergo the tortuous beauty treatments that will keep her on top - a survivor in the film world, the Las Vegas showtime scene and a survivor in the art of love. But Maddie does not foresee the consequences her actions will have on the men in her life: her British film director husband Charles who is devoted to her, the one-night stand she thought she could dismiss, the French film star who fathered her child, the young writer-director she seduced and the actor who holds her spellbound. Her beautiful daughter Cathy, alienated from her mother, has taken a dangerous path that leads to prison. Maddie's path leads her to a place she didn't expect - and a trail of murders."
I hope you will read it and write a review.
