because I’ve just noticed that The
Hope That Kills ( US )
is on offer just now at 99p or 99c. If you like a solid and exciting police
procedural, I can guarantee that this offer makes the book a real ba...

One Man's Opinion: THE THINGS I LOVE WILL KILL ME YET by ROB PIERCE
The Things I Love Will Kill Me Yet ( US ) attacks the senses with unpredictable shifts of theme and tone and has the power to stun, move and create uncertainty. The sum total of the collection is even more powerful than its considerable component parts and ...

Author of SOUTHSIDERS, IN LOCO PARENTIS, SMOKE, MR SUIT, DIRTY OLD TOWN and BEAT ON THE BRAT.
Introduction
Hi.  I've been writing for a long time, teaching forever and I've been a father for 11 years now.  I'm easily confused, totally driven and mostly a nice guy.
My blog's called Sea Minor.
If you're interested in checking out any of my books, you can follow the links below:
 
Bragging rights
My most recent novel, Southsiders, is published by Blasted Heath, who also published the novella Smoke. They will also be putting out the rest of the Southsiders series as they become ready. My stories have been published in some amazing places, too many to list, but all very tasty. My work has won The Watery Grave Invitational Competition (2010); John Kenyon's Fairytale Crime competition (2011); and nominations for Best Novella and Best Story Online over at Spinetingler. I once owned a square of Jarvis Cocker's trousers.
