Book Giveaway - Dead Lake is FREE until the 11th of January 2026

I've had some big news this month, Dead Lake, Book One in the Tricky's Tales series was picked for a BookBub Free Email featurel! 🥳 

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 Dead Lake is going to be free for a whole week (or until 11th of January)! 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! 

Books two and three are also on sale!

Four heroes, four quests, one mission: save the Summer Realm

The Summer Realm is under attack. Monstrous flying beasts are using a portal between worlds and devouring entire villages.

All hope rests on a team pulled together by the Queen’s Ministry of Secrets & Lies and the Guild of Mages: a thick-headed airship guard, a cocky thief, a reclusive mage, and a complete unknown – a witch the guild called in from another world.

They need to obtain ingredients for a unique spell – but will they be able to find them before the entire realm has been ravaged?
