We do produce cruise thrillers and try and keep them as cheap as we can. Please download and read one – and more importantly review it and mention you have read it on your chat group. Each little build in book audience takes us nearer to that possible high end TV series – read them and you will see what I mean. The first is Cruise Ship Heist, the latest is The Unexpected. Start with either…. the first is about drug money leaving south America, the Unexpected is an espionage type terror thriller based in the Baltic.
