Author Karen J Mossman’s Newsletter

Welcome to my first newsletter which replaces the Hot off the Press, which I sent out previously. I have lots to tell you.

Rebranding

I’m in the process of revamping my website. Because I don’t write in one particular genre, I’ve given myself the name World of Stories. That way you know instantly what I’m about.

Writing News

I’ve written a brand new Anglesey story, and it’s has a beginning, middle and an end. That means I have a first draft, which is a great starting point. I shall share more with you next time, where hopefully I’ll have started work on it.

Over the next few weeks I’ll be re-releasing some books. The first one is Down by the River which has been unpublished for about three years. I’ve polished and tweaked it to make it a better story. My inspiration came from a nineties song called Hazard by Richard Marx. This is the description

‘When Shelby reads a worrying letter from her best friend, Mary-Jo, she feels a sense of unease and makes her way back home. Soon, the discovery of a body in the river sends shockwaves through the community.

Her lifelong visions are now plagued by blurriness and seemed to conceal a hidden truth. Who is the shadowy figure that never reveals themself? What is preventing her from witnessing the events of that fateful day?

Mary-Jo’s boyfriend, Ricky, is the prime suspect in a murder case. Despite the accusations, Shelby remains unconvinced by his guilt, citing the deep love and joy shared between Mary-Jo and him. 

Shelby’s childhood nemesis, now the sheriff, is a constant reminder of the painful memories and torment she and Mary-Jo endured in the past. His strong aversion towards Ricky means he will search for any reason to press charges against him, but is the sheriff concealing something?

In the crumbling house she grew up in, Shelby must confront her drunken pa. Much to her surprise, he is sober, and they engage in a meaningful conversation before he eventually relapses into his old ways.

The weight of guilt for leaving her best friend hangs heavily on Shelby as she confronts her enemy.  Will the truth finally break the chains of her past and set her free? ‘

I would really love some help from you to catch those pesky typos that can easily be missed. Therefore I have some ARCS available if you would like to support me with this book.

This is the cover designed by Paul White. What do you think? I love it.

Reading News

I’m a reading nerd. I keep a record of all the books I read online and in a journal. I also review them on my website. These are the stories I read in April and May. I’d love to hear if you’ve read any of them.
