Blog tour: Free Fall

Welcome to the blog tour for Free Fall by Sherry Hostler!

More about the book…

Ellie is feeling alone and unhappy in her marriage. Her husband no longer shows any interest in her and is constantly travelling for work. So, when Saul, a handsome stranger, offers her everything she’s been missing, what starts as a harmless flirtation quickly grows into something deeper.

Before it can go too far, however, Ellie comes to her senses and ends the burgeoning relationship. It’s over – or is it?

A series of unexplained and sometimes threatening events soon lead Ellie to believe that maybe Saul isn’t as out of her life as she’d thought.

More about the author…

Sherry is the author of the psychological thriller 'Hypnotic'.

From the age of about 5 years old she would always tell people that her dream job was to be a writer.  Well, either a writer or maybe a trapeze artist.  She couldn’t decide. 

Obviously, instead of doing either of those things, she decided to follow her parents’ advice and study for a sensible job instead.  One which would give security without the need of a net or a team of psychoanalysts on hand to catch her when she fell. She spent an inordinate amount of time in jobs that just paid the bills, and quite a few that didn’t.  Sadly, none of them involved creating made up worlds or flying through the air with the greatest of ease.

She always wrote in her spare time though and finally began to get paid for it as she started writing articles for trade magazines.  It wasn’t exactly a column in The Times, but she enjoyed it, and after a while her writing got noticed, bagging her several fiction awards.

Eventually, thanks to immeasurable support from her long suffering husband, and much esteem boosting from friends, she took the plunge and wrote her first fiction novel “Hypnotic”.

Sherry lives in the countryside in South East England with her husband, and her big fluffy bear of a dog, both of whom try to distract her from writing at every opportunity. Sherry is glad that she finally fulfilled her dream of becoming an author. She did try the trapeze once and realised that she really wasn’t that keen on heights.

My impressions…

If you’re in the mood for a great psychological thriller where nothing and no-one is quite what they seem to be, this is it. I mean, I knew the plot wasn’t going to be straightforward and I was going to be treated to a fair share of plot twists, but my expectations were definitely exceeded and I was left with my mouth open! A fast-paced read, made to add a bit of spice to any day!

Three words to describe it. Addictive. Intense. Twisty.

Do I like the cover? Yes, although it isn’t quite as sinister as the book itself.

Have I read any other books by the same author? No, this is my first book by this author.

“Italy in books” - reading challenge 2011

Why this challenge? This year I’ve decided to host a reading challenge because I think that they are a brilliant idea. They help to make reading a more collective experience and are a great way to find out more about any particular author / genre / topic and get to know about books you might never have come across. I chose this topic because - as an Italian who has been living abroad for many years now - I feel the need to learn more about my home country and I’m curious to see the difference between the way it is portrayed by native Italians and others. The details of the challenge The challenge will run from January, 1st 2011 to December, 31st 2011 . The aim of the challenge is to read at least 12 books that are set in Italy. Whether written by Italian authors or not, it doesn’t matter. They don’t have to be set exclusively in Italy but this country needs to play a significant role in the book. The challenge can include non-fiction books about Italy. You can also review Italian lea

Book review: She’s Never Coming Back

By Hans Koppel Translated by Kari Dickson Published by Sphere It is safe to say that my choice of reading material is not usually truculent. That’s why I surprised myself when I decided to read a novel whose front cover prominently displays a quote describing it as a ‘terrifying crime novel’. I started to read expecting the worse and - it being impossible to put the book down - a few hours later I was trying to understand what had hit me. Let’s be clear: I loved this book and I’m grateful to Sphere for publishing this Swedish novel by author Karl Petter Lidbeck who, being a children’s literature author, decided to have it published under the pen name of Hans Koppel. I can see why he doesn’t want to have the two genres mixing on the bookshelves! The plot is simple enough: one day after work, Ylva does not return home. When she hasn’t returned 24 hours later, her husband Mike starts to worry and calls the police. Ylva seems to have disappeared without a trace and, month after month, Mike

Hi Tim ! First of all, I would like to congratulate you on the publication of The Catch ! Can you please briefly tell us what it is about? A: The Catch is a psychological thriller about a father who becomes convinced his daughter is about to marry a man with terrible secrets. Terrified that his cherished only child is about to marry a man who is not what he seems, Ed sets out to uncover the truth - before it's too late. But as he delves deeper, he risks alienating everyone he loves and turning his whole family against him… Did you have the plot entirely figured out when you started writing the book or did it take an unexpected turn as the characters grew on the page? A: I had about two-thirds of the plot worked out in my head before I started, including some of the key turning points along the way. But the characters always bring out new elements to the story as I write it. I get to know the characters better during the writing – including how they relate to each other –
