Book Giveaway - Sleep is FREE for a whole week.

I've had some big news this month, Sleep has been accepted for a BookBub Feature Deal! 🥳 

BookBub is a site where you can get huge book bargains on new books and old, especially from big name authors, such as Ramsey Campbell, Dean Koontz, Stephen King etc (I've seen discounts recently from all three). All you have to do is sign up (it's free) and get their daily offer emails. (Don't forget to follow me there if you do - M K Boers / Miranda Kate

For a self-published author like me, it's the Holy Grail of book promotions - only 1% of Indie authors get accepted as they mostly cater for the big publishing houses. I've been trying for about 18 months to get one of my books accepted, and it's finally happened. Hooray!

So how do you benefit? Well this in turn means Sleep is going to be free for a whole week! I haven't given this book away for four years, and I'm unlikely to again for a long time, so don't miss out! 

A banner ad for the book Sleep by M K Boers. It says FREE in a large yellow star, and the words Compelling, Emotional, Captivating on a yellow banner at the bottom, the picture is part of the cover, and in the bottom right is the whole cover depicting a silhouette of a woman seen from behind climbing a wooden staircase holding a knife in her left hand. At the middle landing she is walking towards is a window with a curtain open and pulled to the right, and a bright blue-white light floods through, colouring the entire image in a blue light, putting her figure in silhouette. Another flight of stairs leads off up to the right. There is a wooden handrail and black wrought iron decorative banisters. The book is a psychological thriller.

Review: Last Night of Freedom, by Dan Howarth

Last Night Of Freedom: One Weekend. One Hunt. One Survivor.Last Night Of Freedom: One Weekend. One Hunt. One Survivor. by Dan Howarth
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another compelling read from Dan Howarth and a full novel this time. The concept is mind-blowing. It's about four lads who go on a stag-do in the north of England, and come across a local group of lads who sets them up for a particular forfeit ...

It's an utterly gripping, edge-of-your-seat, brutal, occasionally gory, horror, and not for the faint-hearted. I was tense and anxious, while reading, and struggled to stop turning the page because I just had to know what would happen next. And when I wasn't reading it, I was thinking about it. Like watching an accident in slow motion, it's very much a 'can't look away' read.

Written in first person POV, switching between characters for each chapter, you are lead into a shocking concept that will forever have you wondering whenever you drive around beautiful countryside and idyllic villages. Never be fooled about what might go on behind closed doors!

As always I look forward to whatever Dan Howarth will be writing next.

If that's your kind of thing, I urge you to grab a copy.
