See
Nous Sommes Anglais for the first
seven
chapters of
a
move
to
France
that saw his
identity
stolen,
his
life
savings
seized
and how, abandoned
by
the
police
forces
of
four
countries, he had to solve the
crime
himself.
Which
he
did
in
one of the most bizarre and
comical
investigations
ever.
- His novel, Resonance,
was
the
first
book
to
be
plucked from Baen's electronic
slushpile.
It
was
published
in
November
2005 and entered

 Don’t step on the cracks
- everyone knew the sense of
that.
One
of
the
first
things
you learned as a child. But too
many
people
forgot.
Or
didn’t
care.
Graham Smith
cared.
He
knew
that
paving
stones
set the cadence of a street;
that
cracks
regulated
the
stride
length
and set the resonance
that
kept
everything
stable
and
harmonious.
Step on the cracks
and
the
street
slipped
out
of
kilter. Imperceptibly at first.
Minute
changes
around
the
edges,
a
new person living at number
thirty-three,
a
strange
car
outside
number
five. Step on the
cracks
too
often
and
…
well,
anything could happen. He’d seen
houses
turned
into
blocks
of
flats
overnight. Parades of shops
come
and
go.
Terraces
demolished,
office
blocks erected. All
overnight
when
no
one
was
looking.
The world was
a
far
more
fragile
place
than
people realised. And every now
and
then
a
thread
would
work
loose and something or someone
would
unravel.
 Imagine a world where there's more
than
length, breadth and depth. Where there are other
axes
of movement. A true eleven-dimensional universe. And then
throw
in a discovery that the human brain protrudes into these
higher
dimensions.
Welcome to
the
world of SHIFT. A multi-dimensional thriller where the
detective
has to get inside the mind of a killer - the hard
way.
A serial
killer
with multiple personalities. A born-again
astronaut. A
world on the brink of disaster. Only
Nick
and Louise can save the planet - if they live that
long.
 Magical Crimes is a fun CSI with magic and ‘a little something else’ story. The little something else being two foot long and lurking in the hero’s trousers. But don’t worry, the boinkwurst in this story is used purely for the purpose God intended – humour and crimefighting – not lustful titillation.
 In an uncertain world there is one organisation that stands head and small furry shoulders above the rest. Whenever the planet is in danger – be it from giant balls of wool or bands of renegade squirrels – only one group is guaranteed to answer the call. The International Kittens of Mystery!
This is a journal of their stories. For the first time, cameras have been allowed into one of their top secret training camps – Training Camp Alpha. A camp where, under the supervision of pet humans, recruits are shown not only how to save the world but also how to manage their secret identities – how to blend in and infiltrate the human society that they alone can protect. |
