Hello again from the Isle of Wight. Isn´t this winter ever going to end? I must admit that, after fifteen years in Spain, I had forgotten just how long and miserable the winters can be over here. However, I suppose it means I have been able to concentrate more on the business of writing. I have just completed the first draft of my twelfth novel, ninety thousand words in less than three months. That´s the fastest I have written a novel. Hopefully it will be published later in the year.

This week I am republishing “Network Virus” which I had previously withdrawn for revising and updating. However, when I checked it through, there was very little which I had to edit, so it´s now back in the public domain.

This novel deals with the controversial subject of rape, both from the point of view of the victim, the offender and the absentee husband. It takes a look at the thorny question of paedophilia and the production of child sex videos. There are also sub-plots concerning the arranged disposing of an unwanted wife and sexual relations between under-age school children. However the main plot deals with child abduction. Is that enough for you in one novel?

“Network Virus” is available in ebook formats from Amazon, Apple, Barnes and Noble, and Kobo. I hope you find an enjoyable and thought-provoking read. Best wishes – Mike.
