Steve recently created a new thriller series for Kindle Exclusives, under the pseudonym 'Kelly Robbins'. It also marks his first collaboration with long-time friend and fellow writer Andrea Wilson. Here's the blurb:
When New York businesswoman Jackie O'Hara finds out that she's terminally ill, she knows she has to put her affairs in order -- and top of her list is making peace with her estranged brother Danny. There's just one problem. Danny was the sole witness to a high-profile gangland murder, and now he's on the run from the Russian Mafia.
As Jackie begins her worldwide search for Danny, she knows she's in a race against time. She could surprise everyone and live for years ... or she might die today, or tomorrow ...
In JACKIE O' the aim is to create the literary equivalent of a TV series, with each 15-18,000 word novel reading as a self-contained 'episode' which follows Jackie's ongoing search for her wayward brother.
So far Steve has written the first two books in the series, while Andrea has penned the third, entitled Hunt for Truth. Meanwhile, David Whitehead has created a companion series in HELL ON EARTH, where the emphasis is firmly on horror and the supernatural. As usual, check out Amazon's Kindle pages in the UK, America, France, Germany, Spain and Italy for more details ... or just go to our own Kindle Collection page.

When Diana Callan was beaten to death, all the evidence suggested that her husband was the killer. After returning from Afghanistan, former Green Beret Christopher Callan had developed violent blackouts during which he could remember nothing. But another suspect was in the frame, and if Chris could just get enough evidence to prove his own innocence, the real murderer could be punished. Trouble was, that was going to be easier said than done -- especially when Chris found himself involved with the girlfriend of a psychotic hoodlum.

And if the evidence was to be believed, Reed Devlin, a retired, decorated Marine-turned-drunk, spent the night with a ghost -- a woman who had been reported dead earlier that same evening.
In the days that followed, young Skylar Lewis discovered an incredible secret on her new laptop computer. And Reed's old Army buddy was killed by two weird, half-seen things.
Something evil had come to Frankport. But for what purpose? And how was a dying town supposed to protect itself against a demon that was more than ten thousand years old?

SHERLOCK HOLMES NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER ON AMAZON!!
October 2011, and Sherlock Holmes and the Queen of Diamonds is now available for pre-order on Amazon (with publication scheduled for 29 February 2012). Here's the blurb:
Thomas Howard of Missouri came out of nowhere one foggy night to rescue Countess Elaina Montague from rape and robbery. He was in England, he said, to find his brother, who had disappeared. To repay him, the beautiful Countess offered to enlist her friend, Sherlock Holmes, to help in the search.
At the time Holmes was investigating a rash of audacious jewel-thefts, and much to Watson's dismay spending altogether too much time at the music-hall. But because the Great Detective felt that there was more to the mysterious Mr Howard than met the eye, he accepted the case.
This in turn led to their involvement in a vicious blood-feud, a spectacular -- not to mention death-defying -- daylight robbery, the possibility of a serious diplomatic incident and finally, a thrilling climax below the brooding River Thames.

FIRST LOOK AT THE NEW SHERLOCK HOLMES COVER
August 2011: Here's a look at Derek Colligan's fine painting for Sherlock Holmes and the Queen of Diamonds, which is being published by Hale next February. Publisher Gill Jackson reports that the book's editor wondered "whether the authors maybe took on a bet that they could successfully combine the western genre with Sherlock Holmes. If so I think they have won hands down and produced what used to be called a ripping yarn!"
