Hello everyone

Well another day has dawned and i seem to be embroiled in another controversy.  I will not delve any deeper into that as by now most of you will know my views and as i say they are my views only I won't be liked by some but that is a writers lot and i have been banned before so that is nothing new to this author. 

Overnight we received this review it was quiet unexpected which made it the more pleasing. It comes from a member of Google + who bought a copy the second day i arrived so she knew nothing of me and nothing about the book. Her reactions are typical of all those that have read Dead Men Lie. Any thoughts of "Oh dear here comes another mindless self Publisher" are banished when they see what i have written. As i have said numerous times my story will not appeal to everyone but those with a clear and unobtrusive mind will find our work appealing.  



I am one of those wriggly things called a "bookworm", and when I heard that David Procter had written a book, I just had to have it! I have known David for only a short time, but his sense of humour in that time has proved him to be worth his weight in gold!! I must confess that I have never been a lover of history, either in book form or in a movie, fiction or non-fiction. However, I purchased the book "Dead Men Lie", and began to read it. And what a read it turned out to be! I was hooked from the very beginning, and longed to reach the end to find out what eventually happened! But no, final-page reading before I get there is not on my agenda. So I continued to read (and immensely enjoyed) the story. The story was extremely well-written and exciting. David did in this book what I expect all authors to do, which is to bring out all the emotions within me: Expectation; prolonged interest; anger; hatred; admiration; agony; sorrow; and tears - well, bring on the buckets! Certain unexplainable events occur in the story which leave the reader wondering why, oh why?! I cannot divulge any more for fear of ruining other readers' desires, but I do hope that many, many readers will give this book a chance - it really would be such a shame to pass it by! To summarize - an excellent book, well worth reading, and certainly not to be missed! Well done 

There you are I can't add any more my blurb on Amazon may not be slick, my splurge on Goodreads may not appeal to some my views about giving work away for free may stir the odd soul into open rebellion but reviews like that as Chris says are "worth their weight in gold"

Dead Men Lie awaits anyone who would like to download it for the very reasonable price of £1.50 until the 5th of May then it goes back to the recognised price of £3.50 still pretty cheap for 400 odd pages and a year of hard work. 

Speak soon friends, we will see who else we can upset tomorrow?

Dave
