Featured Author - Seb Kirby and Take No More Free Book 4/11/12

Free 4/11/12 - Grab a Copy Now

Reviewer says: Since my day job is an art teacher, I really enjoyed the inclusion and the art angle in this novel. The novel is based in Europe and the whole thing gave me the feeling of being whisked away on a mysterious trip - a great escape. There were also enough twists and turns to keep me reading and thoroughly engaged. I usually read books quickly, but read this one faster than usual as I had to learn the final outcome.

The writing is solid and I would rate this a darn good mystery. I would read another book by this author and hope he is working on something new.




I was raised with books - my grandfather ran a mobile library in Birmingham and my parents inherited a random selection of the books. They weren't much interested in them; the books were piled up in a box room, gathering dust. I would disappear in there and resurrect much used classics - Zane Gray 'Riders of the Purple Sage', H G Wells 'The Invisible Man', Charles Dickens 'A Tale of Two Cities' and more obscure stuff that I don't now recall. I was hooked.

There was gap, a long gap, until I was lucky enough to find an inspirational school teacher. He donated his own books to make a lending library in a stock cupboard off the classroom. Kids queued to borrow the books. Except these were the classics - Franz Kafka 'Metamorphosis' and 'The Trial', George Orwell '1984' and 'Animal Farm', Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn 'One Day In The Life of Ivan Denisovich', Ray Bradbury 'Fahrenheit 451', Boris Pasternak 'Dr Zhivago', Arthur Koestler 'Darkness At Noon', Vladimir Nabokov 'Pale Fire', Ken Kesey 'One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest', Aldous Huxley 'Brave New World'.............

I've been an avid reader ever since.

Samantha Fury's Street Justice Charlie's Angel - $.99


Samantha Fury was born in Eastern Kentucky, the daughter of a coal miner & his loving homemaker. She is an only child so she spent many hours using her imagination to keep her busy. She graduated from high school, married in 1986 and began what she calls her 'life on the road.'

Samantha spent over eighteen years traveling with her husband, through 48 states & Canada. This gave her lots of experience for the backgrounds of her Novels. She has since retired to staying at home with their two dogs, Jack & Max. Her husband still travels and she stays busy writing and dispatching for her husband.

This gives her more time to write, and she enjoys her time at home with the dogs. She's always has loved writing since the early age of eight; when she wrote 'The Day The Sky Turned Green.' Her imagination takes her many places, and she hopes that her stories can uplift, entertain, and be a blessing to her readers.

She calls what she writes Life Fiction. It's not your normal romance, though each story will have a bit of romance in them. They will also have some real life struggles, and a little detective work, and humor when at all possible.

Samantha plays the piano and bass at her church, and loves writing, singing, and photography. She has many stories to tell, and she hopes to be around writing for many years to come.
