There is a new Category in the Carter Seagrove Book Boutique; it's called the Gold Collection. This collection features stories by all contributing authors and it might be a good place to discover each author.

The Coupon Code is GOLD and this coupon will give you 50% off of the price of any story in the Gold Collection. Please be aware that the stories which are featured in the Gold Collection will vary over time. Use the coupon code at the checkout.

Have spent this morning walking all over the place, researching for the new story 'Dark Matter'. It is 20 degrees and sunny here in Paris; perfect for walking and staring at interesting things (also cute guys).

Arrived in Paris yesterday on my way to the Retreat and home; it was really difficult to quit St Tropez, knowing that I wouldn't see Chambers and Pinocchio for a few months. Am using the opportunity today to do some research for a brand new story called Dark Matter which is set in Paris - a thriller with the usual twists and turns.

I guess it has to do with being here in Paris or maybe just because I am travelling by myself but I have endless stories running through my head triggered by literally everything I see or hear - which bodes well for the next few months because once I am at the Retreat then I shall be writing non-stop.

Have a beautiful day; I'm off to Le Louvre to pay the Old Lady a visit.

I am so happy to let you know that there is a brand new story on shelf today.

‘Dabs of Blue’ is a short romantic story written for a mature and open-minded audience. This edition has been prepared exclusively for The Carter Seagrove Book Boutique and Smashwords.

In ‘Dabs of Blue’, Cicero comes back from Berlin to find his mother is descending rapidly into senility; a job is a priority but finding a new boyfriend following the death of Franz is not high on the list … in walks Eli ... if only life were that simple.

Thank you!

Chambers and I are very motivated by the concept of 'choice'. For this reason we have - as of today - begun to stock our titles in Smashwords.

There are two reasons for this :

 - it is an outlet which allows the purchaser to set their own price or download for free
 - the eBook can be made available in lots of different formats - more than we can manage (or understand!) ourselves.

So please use these link to go to Smashwords and get your copy of Dust Jacket - our first collaboration (and in that respect, a fitting choice for our Smashwords debut).

We are indebted to Shannon for his guidance in navigating us through the labyrinthine IT systems which is eBook publishing - and now you know why we right about stone age hunters!

Thank you for your continued support throughout this journey to independence and the realisation of our indie dream.

Love
Alp and Chambers

The Fanshawe Scroll is the fifth instalment of the Inspector Fenchurch Mysteries; available exclusively from The Carter Seagrove Book Boutique outlet here on my website.

The first 4 parts of the series are also now available from the new boutique, along with Dust Jacket which gave rise to the series.

The final part of series one, 'Storm Clouds', will be available towards the end of November 2014, and there will be a second series to appear in 2015.

Chambers and I are thrilled with the series and the reception which it has received over the last few months since The Blakely Affair first appeared on the shelves. As a collaboration, we could not have asked for a better output or experience, especially, as for the most part, we have been able to work on the project side by side in St Tropez.

We sincerely hope that you decide to pick up a copy of The Fanshawe Scroll nd if you do, as a gift from us, please use coupon code DEBUT when you check out to receive 1.99$US off of the value of the order. If you wish to purchase the five stories together, then use coupon code LOYALTY to receive 25% off of the value of the order.

We also want to thank you for the tremendous words or encouragement we have had since our decision to go it alone, exit from Amazon and become independent retailers on top of everything else. 

To herald in the latest instalment of the series (The Fanshawe Scroll - available from 5th October), and to celebrate the opening of the new Carter Seagrove Book Boutique outlet within this website, the first four parts of the series have now been made available from the Boutique :-

The Blakely Affair
Black Veil
Stradler's Game, and
The Helios Protocol

The sixth and final part of series one (Storm Clouds) will appear towards to the end of November 2014.
