New book: Choices and Other Stories

Woo-hoo! as that big yellow man says on the telly. My latest book Choices and Other Stories has finally passed through all the digital hurdles and is available at all good ebook stores for just $0.99 Here’s the cover of the book along with a description.

Choices and Other Stories by Eamonn Murphy is a mixed bag of fantasy tales, many with a touch of romance. Inside you will find a builder who meets his match when he picks up a witch in a bar; A girl haunted in the Mountains of Mourne; another who discovers that the villagers in her new home have a strange secret. There’s also a wayward sexist who gets his comeuppance, a duck that won’t lay eggs, brick eating worms from outer space and an 18th-century love triangle. This is a light-hearted collection for the gentle reader.

I was tempted to advertise it as romance but while there’s an element of boy meets girl in most of the stories it’s not enough to satisfy a regular reader of romance, I feel. All the stories have been paid for previously by editors and featured in some magazine or website so they achieve that minimal standard. The cover is by my favourite cover maestro Laura Givens.

Anyway, I hope someone likes it.

 

 

 

Gothic Horror Giveaway

There’s a gothic horror giveaway on Instafreebie. CLICK HERE to get a free copy of my book Arnos Hell or some other books that might be better, though frankly if you worked at NHS Direct then Arnos Hell is a good one to read.

Christmas Giveaway II

I just set up a couple more giveaways on Instafreebie. You can get Arnos Hell HERE and Five Little Horrors HERE. I’ve set it up so that if you get it this way you have to join my mailing list but both books should be free within a few days at other ebook retailers anyway as part of my grand Christmas giveaway.

Instafreebie is a way of getting new readers and a mailing list, the be all and end all of marketing. There’s a free plan where you can just give books away or a $20 per month plan where you get the reader to join your mailing list. This can be optional or compulsory. Instafreebie advise optional is best but other websites say make it compulsory or the readers won’t do it. I’ve made it compulsory.

I can’t give away The Brigstowe Dragons because I’m not the publisher. Presumably though, millions will read the free books and then rush to buy it.
