Fiona Johnson is a jack-of-all-trades. She's a writer/reviewer/editors, which makes her even more efficient and bouncing off the walls than yours truly. In other words, she's an awesome all-doing, all-seeing, multitasking superhero that writes crime stories. She has a recurring character named Gemma, which you should really check out. She released an anthology titled KICK IT with Trestle Press,under her pen name of McDroll, quite recently.
If you're curious, you can get it for a buck here.
The killing rampage continues! Barney flees Glasgow and heads for seclusion in a Highland Monastery but the monks have many secrets. In THE CUTTING EDGE OF BARNEY THOMSON, Douglas Lindsay delivers a hilariously satirical tale with a devilishly clever plot.
OK, so I’m pretty sure not many (if any) of you so called crime/noir readers have ever picked up/downloaded the magnificent CUTTING EDGE OF BARNEY THOMSON by Douglas Lindsay, the world’s most under-rated writer of all time. See after you’ve read this, not only will you go and do the clicky thing on this one but you will go totally ape and buy the whole series of 8….yes, I said 8, Barney Thomson novels.
Oh how I’d love to have the wit and sarcasm that oozes from every pore of Mr. Lindsay’s wee Scottish body. How I could bask in the glory of knowing that I’ve written some of the best crime fiction in the history of crime fiction writing! He is the full package, as they say. I’ve just picked Number 2 (THE CUTTING EDGE incase you forgot) at random instead of Number 1, THE LONG MIDNIGHT, because, well being a second child myself (sniff) I’m often overlooked.
So what have we got? Mad monks, two CID officers who would rather shag each other than hunt for Barney, our hero – the Millport barber, (except that comes later), driving snow up to your oxters and loads of blood curdling slashing with open razors.
Brilliant stuff!
If you are a real cheapskate (and who isn’t) then if you go and get yourself on the Blasted Heath mailing list, you’ll get a FREE copy of THE END OF DAYS and you will finally discover why our ex PM, Big Broon, had such a funny hairdo.
Lindsay knows how to write, I love what he does, this is what makes me want to write - what more can I say….go learn from the master…
