Femme Fatales and Breathey Sighs, Sexy Thighs...and Mince Pies

Hey...where are you going with that mince pie in your hand?  

Seasons Greetings to you all, I hope you have a good one.  I'm feeling Christmassy  and offering up a free gift.  THE BENCH, my first novel, is currently languishing on Amazon.co.uk along with around 700,000 other first time novelists trying to sell their novels on there, it's like trying to sell a grain of sand in the desert.  

I know :D 


It's not gonna happen there.  But it's a nice dropping off point for it - somewhere where it can be referenced by any potential agent out there - ha, it would be easier to find Luke Skywalker's hand holding the reins to a unicorn -  but the beauty of it is it's there.  A record of achievement.

I'm still searching for an agent and publisher and of course collecting rejection letters, par for the course - you have to be rejected, or it's a bit like being a boxer and not expecting to get hit.  You roll with the punches and you keep on believing, or to put it in the wise words of Rocky Balboa...


GREAT piece of inspirational writing from Sylvester Stallone.    

​So anyhow, here it is for free download until Christmas Day, all I ask is if you read it please leave me an honest review on the site, a lot of heart and soul went into that first novel.  If you don't have a kindle reader or such like and would like to read it, leave me a message below with your email details and I'll email you the PDF.  

Click the link below to take you to the download.

Look out for my new art page coming in the new year, I'll be available for commisions and of course I'll be putting most of what I produce up for sale and hoping to do an exhibition or two.  More of my artwork can be seen here though I'm looking to redesign the page or to even join a dedicated art sales site.

My latest piece is below - THIS IS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE - one of a couple of Prince canvas' I have done lately.  The art page will be updated with this soon...

Oh, and there will be news on The Haunting of Blaine Manor www.talesfromparadiseheights.com/the-haunting-of-blaine-manor.html - as the rules of theatres around the north won't let me in at the moment, there is a kindling of interest in London, a spark...more soon :D

Share this post if you can, it will be nice to see how far the novel goes in its free form, at least until Christmas Day...

Have a fab Christmas all, a happy one, we all need that...
