Editors are a great tool for writers. Someone to give them a bit of tough love and to bounce ideas off of, and someone to catch any lingering mistakes or plot holes in your manuscript. Send us a message for more info or check out our website!

I spent most of the morning signing and mailing out copies of Mekong Sky to people who had requested them. I love this part of being an author, the personal connection with my readers.

Excerpt from Mekong Sky ‘Safeties off!’ Malko heard the faint clicks as his men switched their rifles from ‘safe’ to ‘fire.’ ‘Remember to deal with the radios quickly. If they get a message out then we may run out of time before we can get the vessel concealed.’
