Fancy a free book?
Muse (A Kate Redman Mystery: Book 15) is now available worldwide for nowt/gratis/free!
It’s been a loooong time since I’ve done a completely free promotion (I’ve got to earn a living and - quite frankly - getting Amazon to price-match is a pain in the arse). As the boxed set of the Kate Redman Mysteries, Volume 6 is about to be published (consisting of Undertow, Mercy and Gospel), I thought it would be nice to give you the opportunity to read the previous book in the series (if you haven’t already).
Some people wonder what the point is of giving away books. After all, that book has cost you months of work, effort and - not infrequently - writing trauma; when things don’t go according to plan and the damn characters start misbehaving and you call into question whether you’re just totally pants as a writer and then have a full-blown existential crisis…
Ahem.
Actually, giving away a freebie, particularly if it leads readers onto other books in the series, is a good thing. It’s a ‘try before you buy’ kind of thing. A loss leader, yes, but if people like your stuff, then they very often go on to buy your full price work, particularly if you combine a free book give-away with some marketing and promotion.
Of course, it helps if you have books in a series and lots of them, which I do! Anyway, Muse is available as an ebook download, completely for free and you can download it here:
Available on most of the library and lending platforms worldwide.
The blurb:
Abbeyford, in the West Country of England, is supposed to be a safe and pleasant place to live. But no fewer than four young women have gone missing in the past few years and now another, nineteen-year-old art student Mae Denton, has disappeared.
DI Kate Redman is eager to tie up any loose ends before she goes on maternity leave. But as the case unfolds, a straightforward disappearance becomes more complicated. Who was the mysterious man whom Mae was apparently seeing, and do her friends know more than they are telling? Has she vanished for her own reasons? And who, if anyone, can Kate and her team trust?
Muse was originally intended to be a novella but when I started writing it, I realised it was going to be much longer and more intricate than that! It’s the ‘follow up - sort of’ to a novella I wrote called Tasteful (based on a true story).
I hope you enjoy it :)



The Kate Redman series is excellent!!!
