Video Trailer: Oracle

OracleAs the countdown begins, the body count rises. With London gearing up to host the Olympics, the last thing the city needs is a serial killer stalking the streets, leaving behind a trail of brutal and bizarre murders. Detective Inspector Kurt Lancer is a struggling single parent thrust into the pressure cooker of this high profile case, and as the list of potential victims grows, it becomes apparent that Lancer’s daughter could be one of them. Fingers point in every direction, and Lancer’s only clue comes in the form of a single oak leaf left at each crime scene.

Oracle, the new crime thriller by author J.C. Martin, is available from Amazon.com, Amazon UK,  and Barnes & Noble.

A Bittersweet Science offers an epic look into the world of big-time boxing from the perspectives of the many individuals who make up this frequently brutal, yet often entrancing sport. From the exploited fighters who bleed for pay to the scurrilous promoters and slick young television executives who make the backroom deals to the sardonic journalists who are there to record it all with a jaded eye.

Alana Woods Announces New Release

25 essential writing tips: guide to writing good fictionAuthor Alana Woods is pleased to announce the release of her new book, 25 essential writing tips: guide to writing good fiction.

Alana Woods, a professional editor of many years’ experience and an award-winning author, has published a guide aimed at helping aspiring authors to find their writing voice and inspire them to get started or finish THAT book.

The guide, 25 essential writing tips: guide to writing good fiction, is a good example of the advice Woods has given when critiquing manuscripts over the years: eliminate every unnecessary word. A step-by-step guide, concise and to the point it begins by explaining the writer’s voice then dives straight in to everything you need to consider, including opening with a hook, making dialogue believable, creating suspense, developing your story and characters, and how to approach descriptions, point of view and 1st/2nd/3rd person. Woods uses her own and other authors’ work to illustrate each point.

25 essential writing tips: guide to writing good fiction was released late in June of 2012 by WoodsfortheTrees Press. It is available on Amazon.com, and Amazon UK in print and as an e-book.
