REVIEW COPY REFUND OFFER...
- exclusively for my Hope FM radio show LISTENERS

Limited Offer

This limited offer is restricted to listeners of my INSPIRE radio show on 90.1 Hope FM who LIVE in the UK. To benefit from it you need to listen to my show called INSPIRE: 8-10 pm every Thursday.

For a while I am offering my radio show listeners a refund on the purchase price of a paperback copy of any of the three books shown below if you post an honest Amazon review. How to claim this offer and the related Terms and Conditions are given below. With this offer you effectively get your chosen book FREE!

The books included in this offer are not new but, to be frank, I am so busy with Hope FM work these days I've not had time to write anything new lately. Nor have I had time to give them due publicity, and I therefore need more reviews on these. Hence this offer - exclusive to Hope FM listeners.

If you like a thriller or mystery novel then these books have the added interest of being set in your locality! Two are set in the Christchurch area and the other is set in Bath (plus a fair few other well-known locations around the world).

How to Apply

(A limit may be set for each title, so offering a 2nd choice might be a good idea!)

Tune-In Notes
Catch-Up
LOYALTY has greater value than ROYALTY -
in my book!

Terms & Conditions

  1. This offer is only valid if you have: a) Firstly obtained a 'REGISTRATION CONFIRMATION' from me as a result of initially emailing me with the approximate time that the 'Praise Phase' BEGINS - obtained by listening to my INSPIRE show on Hope FM.
  2. Emailed me again within 37 days to confirm you have posted a review on Amazon.co.uk for the agreed book title, including evidence of your purchase price. (The best method is to Forward the Amazon.co.uk order email and add your message to it.)
  3. Once I have checked that your review is visible on Amazon.co.uk I will send you an eGift Token to the next rounded £ value over your purchase price subject to a maximum of £9.

NOTE. Sometimes you see offers of books on Amazon that are below or above the recommended retail price - especially when used! This refund offer is only for the new Amazon.co.uk purchase price you paid - up to the £9 limit.

WHY?

Why this offer? Well, firstly, it is because I'm kept so busy preparing my weekly radio show that I have little time to write books present. Resting on my laurels is all very well - so long as some people know I have those laurels! Most people in the local area know me more as a broadcaster than a writer these days.

Big publishers give away free reader-review copies to regular Amazon reader-reviewers. And they can take the hit when those readers don't bother to follow through. My books don't fall into that category and I - rather than the publisher - have to pay for them. I've follows the above route before and many people just take the book and don't bother to post a review. In one case I even had a review copy delivered to the London hotel of a 'keen' American visitor. Again, they were not bothered once they hand their hands on my book. So this offer ensures I only pay for reader reviewers who DO follow through - and allows me to cap the offer if need be.

Reader-reviewers are a Big Deal to authors, so I will be really grateful if you, as a listener to my radio show, do actually get to  know me as a writer too! When you take a year or more to write a book, it's far more rewarding to get good feedback and know some people appreciate your work as opposed to the small amount I get as a royalty. Which is why LOYALTY has greater value than ROYALTY - in my book!

QUALIFYING BOOKS

Sandman
 

Picture
A gripping psychological read with characters that reach out and grab you. A real page-turner.
--Sophie King
How would you cope if a member of your family was murdered, you were being intimidated by the person you believe is responsible, and then the police accused you of the murder?

This novel shows how the fragility of family life can be thrown completely off-course as a result of over-reacting to an intimidating event.

This psychological/mystery thriller is set in Christchurch and Bournemouth, and particularly on Hengistbury Head and Mudeford Sandbank. You will be able to imagine the characters walking in these locations, and this website includes walks in these areas.

The Grave Concerns of Jennifer Lloyd

Picture
A fine melding of mystery thriller and contemporary fiction, but refreshingly free of the clichés of either.
--Stephan J Myers
Jennifer was abandoned by her father at a young age and sexually assaulted in a children's home. But through these hard times she taught herself to appear feisty and self-assured. Yet beneath this veneer she is a just vulnerable girl. Focussed on her career, and wanting to put the world to rights, she is willing to take risks when exposing a murderer on television in order to enhance her fame as a fledgling TV presenter. Given her background, it is no wonder she is unwilling to trust men or to get deeply involved in any male relationship - although she feels this works against her own happiness. Jen needs YOU to be her friend and companion through these difficult times.

This twisty mystery thriller is set in Christchurch and Bournemouth. This website includes information about these locations.

Flying a Kite
 

Picture
This wonderful, well-written and entertaining novel... will no doubt open many minds.
—William Roache, MBE
A graduate drops out theology because of waning faith - but is then approached by a dying multi-millionaire who offers him a £1M prize if he can convincingly prove or disprove the existence of God and Heaven! Working at two levels - an adventure story and a theological quest - it has been said this novel combines the rich characterisation of Peter Carey with the spiritual probing of C. S. Lewis. Or, looked at another way, imagine a blending of a more Biblical version of The Shack with The deepness of The Celestine Prophecy.

This innovative quest novel is principally set in Bath, but also features locations in Rome, Lake Garda, Tenerife, Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. Click here for information about the worldwide locations used in this novel.
