Sail Chains Audio Sample narrated by Kevin Redson

Captain Tom Larring barely escaped alive from a mission in Afghanistan. He now has another task. Effi Miani has been undercover in the Middle East but is needed for the same operation. Together they must find Bravo-One-One who is the highest priority target for MI6. He is believed to be building a chemical weapon in Northwest Pakistan. A previous MI6 operation has already failed. A leak or a traitor inside MI6 may have destroyed that mission, so extra precautions must be taken otherwise, this team will also fail.

Tom and Effi need a faultless back story before embarking on their mission. The operation needs financing and a cover story. The help of a former disgraced MI6 officer, Michelle Houston, and her lover, Hugh Turnbill, is sought. They successfully control the laundering of black funds for the security services whilst sailing clear of the security services. Some of the MI6 leadership wants to gain direct control of the money and the couple, despite previous agreements. They want that control regardless of the risks to the operations in Pakistan. They think they may get leverage using two former teenage runaways connected to the couple.

The hunt for whoever leaked the information continues. Suspicions are raised. The internal security team needs to prevent the traitor putting the financiers and the operation at risk. An MI5 team is on the trail of a suspicious Saudi diplomat. He may be connected to Bravo-One-One.

Closed missions should not be re-opened. The NSA and GCHQ are monitoring and tracing communications using secret programmes and techniques, but some secrets should not be shared with allies.

Sails

Sails is the third part of the Sailing Clear Series

Despite the declared end of the pandemic, there are still threats to the UK, particularly from Russia. Friends from across the Atlantic who like to meddle continue to track and follow the shadowy financing team supporting the UK’s security services. They assured the UK they would not, but disparate agencies in the USA have different agendas.

Michelle and Hugh Turnbill are now married. The couple still manage MI5’s and MI6’s clandestine funds. They occasionally sail around the Greek Islands with the Harper sisters or stay at their new house in Mykonos. They desire a normal life but are aware that caution must still be exercised, and complacency avoided. A Treasury probe investigating missing funds puts their way of life and lives in danger.

An unhappy assistant in the Treasury has been leaking information to someone who appears to be a journalist but he is actually sending the reports to Russia. The Russian security services launch an urgent investigation and may well take more direct action. They discover names and some photos. Information previously covered up by a Russian general.

MI6 needs to protect the system, but some elements still want more control. Kathrine commences an operation to protect them. One of her old assets needs to escape Russia.

Russian forces are closing in and are keeping an eye on the Treasury. MI5 is keeping an eye on them in an effort to identify the source of the Russian information. The finance team needs to dodge all the other teams trying to take control of them and the money.

Semblance of Storms Republished

Aside

Semblance of Storms has been republished following a restructure, and re-edit.

A novel of writing, lust, storms, secrets and relationships…

It is available in Kindle and Paperback format on Amazon. I have also posted the title available for translation on BabelCube and for Audio narration on ACX

Semblance of Storms Cover

All that is required, by his publishers is to write a fourth book, not like the flop that was his third. His successful first two books bought him fame, some fortune and disputes with his terminally ill father. He wants his son to help with his half-sister. If only her mom, wouldn’t give confusing messages on what she wants; possibly him. A family friend and lawyer will help, as he always has done but there are secrets in his past too.

His new book will be a tale of boy meets girl in his usual elaborate and descriptive style. His agent, wants him to produce it soon but he has his own pressures from his new investors. There might be a movie deal to be negotiated. The new investor is represented by an attractive woman who is infamous for other reasons.

His editor, wants him to finish the book so she can stop his publisher asking for the advance back. She hopes he has written something as good as his first published book. He does too. He needs to concentrate on writing this book not drafting anything else. Old lost, and possible new loves and lusts, keep distracting him. The idle beach lifestyle diverts him as do post pandemic visitors.

Just when he begins to make progress on the last chapters a hurricane approaches his home in North Carolina. If he goes to visit his father, another storm may await in Houston. His neighbor and that family add further complications and secrets that need to be hidden or avoided, especially from the FBI.

Translations and Audio Books

I’m looking to expand my list of translations and audio books.

Marketing Translations

I am advertising the translations and existing audio books for sales but marketing is complex especially in different languages!

Translated Editions Samples

Translations

At the moment I have translations in Spanish and Portuguese for many of my books – see the list here. There is only one translation in French and a couple in Italian. I am looking to expand these and add translations into other languages like German, Hindi, and others. I use BabelCube for translation. The platform allows royalty share and publishes the translated e-book to other platforms not just Amazon which is my main publishing platform for Kindle and paperbacks. I have recently created a French paperback version of To The Survivors – Aux Survivants. The table showing the current book status is at the bottom of the post

Audio Books

For audiobooks I use the ACX platform and I have several projects underway. I have investigated AI routes to create the voices but ACX does not allow such use. I appreciate it takes a lot of time and effort to narrate and produce. Unfortunately, I can only support royalty share on this platform, as well. I know this limits some narrators. ACX titles are published to Audible and Apple as well as Amazon directly.

ACX

It is possible to add narration in translated languages, but so far I have not had any offers for this.

Contact

If anyone out there is interested in translating (to any language) or narrating please let me know directly or via the ACX or BableCube platforms themselves

Unpublish Semblance

After much deliberation I have decided to unpublish Semblance of Storms. Initial feedback has led me to believe that the book needs some major reorganisation and probably slimming down.

Activity to remove it from various platforms will be ongoing

The book will return when I have completed this task. Any questions please contact me via feedback or comment.
