Good morning, and here is an update!
Plan is to publish Infected on June 25th, and Book #2, Darkness on the same day or very shortly afterwards.
Infected will be just 99p or equivalent, permanently, whereas Darkness will be the same price for the first week, after which it will be on sale for my usual price of £1.99.

SFV-1: a virulent virus that sends its hosts into a state of extreme rage and ravenous hunger. When it attacks the UK, 127 people are infected within the first hour.
London wife and mother Cat is taking part in TV reality show Year Out, on a remote Scottish island. Her world turns dark when the TV crew fail to arrive for the monthly health check—her one lifeline to her family is now broken.
Completely absorbed in the commission of a lifetime, artist Norah ignores what is taking place outside the safety of her studio, until the virus reaches her hometown and a shocking event jolts her back into reality.
Lion, a stressed out marketing consultant, is enjoying a month away from his hectic online life in northern Cumbria when he encounters a worrying sight in a nearby village. Is it some kind of zombie? It can't be, can it?
The books are shorter than my usual novels; my other publications are all around 90-105k words, but Infected is 53K and Darkness around 62k. Book #3, Reset, is my current work-in-progress, still on the first draft. Though a continuing story, each part depicts distinct phases in the characters' lives, and I will provide a 'story so far' piece in Books #2 and #3, as I always do.
Good luck, Terry. We'll be on the lookout for it!
ReplyDeleteThank you! You will be informed, of course! x
DeleteHow exciting to see.
ReplyDeleteHi Terry, I’ve been wondering what you’ve been busy with. A three part series sounds great, although I’m not sure if I’m ready for more plague viruses yet. It is you, though, so I shall see. :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha, I understand! It's just that I'd wanted to write a zombie book for years, but then I decided to make it a rage virus - ie, like zombies but they're not actually dead!! So it's not like yer run of the mill pandemic. I do hope you will give it a try... xxx
ReplyDeleteOh well, of course if it’s zombies….hahaha. Seriously, l’ll give them a go :))
DeleteMr Picky test reader is enjoying it very much, if that's any help - believe me, I'd know if he wasn't!!!!! Though of course not every book is for everyone; your giving them a go is appreciated!!
DeleteEek, zombies! Glad to know they're not of the dead variety 😉
ReplyDeleteHa ha, no, not like that!!! I knew I couldn't write actual zombies.
DeleteIt has gone straight onto the top of the TBR pile!
ReplyDeleteWell, thank you, whoever you may be!!
