For those of you readers who still love the feel of a book in your hands, the smell of the pages, and seeing the book cover to cover, my books, “The Alkahest” and “The Sussex Deal” are now both available in trade-paperback.
This is an exciting time for me; being a lover of hard copies, I was excited to receive a printed copy of my books.
Both stories are available through Amazon, and Kobo.
I am excited to announce that The Sussex Deal is now available to buy as an eBook on Amazon.com. It costs $3.99 USD.
It can be read on multiple devices, including the Kindle, Sony eReader, Tablets, Kobo and other eBook readers. For my readers in Canada, it’s available at amazon.ca and across the pond, it can be found on amazon.co.uk, amazon.de, amazon.at, amazon.it, amazon.es, and amazon.fr.
The Sussex Deal is a suspenseful mystery thriller based in Toronto, Canada about a real estate mogul who gets drawn into a life-threatening conspiracy after purchasing the Sussex property.
