Amazon – Page 12

Around 3rd June 2013, http://www.readwave.com/ formed a partnership with a charitable organisation called WorldReader (http://www.worldreader.org), an organisation that aims to help spread ebooks and literacy in developing countries. They load ‘Tablets’ and ‘Kindles’ with ebooks and learning materials and then send them to schools in developing countries. WorldReader is backed by Amazon and the big publishing houses. ReadWave were requested to send their best short stories for inclusion in the programme so I felt honoured to discover that one of my tales was chosen.

Simply Irresistible is a short story about a young man and a young woman meeting on a train journey – where one of them is really taken for a ride. To read the story, please click on the title. Enjoy!

Today I published my latest short story, ‘A Grave Mistake’, here, on my website: www.tom-benson.co.uk/ and on www.readwave.com .

The story is about a young policeman who feels he can do things in his own unorthodox way, but his plan fails …

In my own case, I’m presently working on the next draft of my thriller, ‘Hawk – A Manhunter’ and it’s going well. Recently I was inspired to write a tale about a romance in Amsterdam. I’ve taken the idea further than I had intended and it is now taking the shape of a novel in first draft. The tale is titled, ‘Discovering Amsterdam’, but for now I’ll keep the plot under wraps.

Is it wise to write two novels simultaneously, I asked myself a few days ago. It feels like it should work because they are of different genre, so they shouldn’t interfere with each other in terms of thought process. I suppose as always, time will tell.

In other news I updated my website with a total revamp. The theme is now ‘pen and diary’ and it looks much better.

I was delighted to see that a few days ago I received a **** rated review on my ‘Natural History’ , Volume 3 of my poetry series which is on sale on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk
