My first Amazon Review for LittleTown Combo One – 5 STARS!!

Just noticed that LittleTown had its first review on Amazon – and was awarded 5 stars by the reviewer, Happy Reader.

My daughter is 10 years old and couldn't put this book down while she was reading it. She had this to say about it: "I loved the book and really liked the story about Vola and her flying on the rope. If there is a second book, I would very much enjoy it. PS I think this would make a great play."

Looks like I have at least one reader lined up for the second in the series – LittleTow Combo Two should be published within 3 months, in time for those Christmas gifts you might be thinking of for your kids or grandkids or relatives!

Please buy the Kindle ebook or Createspace print book, and write a review ...

And tell your friends about LittleTown and its wonderful little animals.

Silent Lips

People inside and outside New York race against time to save the city from a genetically engineered virus created by mistake.

With a quarantine of the city enforced by the Army, doctors in the ParkLab set up in Central Park try everything they can think of to cure people, and the U.S. President makes the most agonizing decision any president has ever made.

This book is dedicated to all who have visited or lived in the wonderfully vibrant city of New York, the premier city of our world.

During one of my visits to the city I was walking in Central Park when the thought struck me: What if something happened and this huge, bustling, energetic city was forced to shut its borders, to keep people inside and stop people entering? That thought stayed with me for several visits until one day I sat down, pen in hand, and sketched out the story of Silent Lips.

It is a story of New York struck by a mysterious disease which forces the President to blockade the city. Nothing can leave; nothing can enter.

What is this disease? Where did it come from? Who made it? Can it be stopped?

Inside the quarantined city, I thought of men and women fighting to find the answer to the mysterious sickness that raged in the streets and hotels and homes, while still more men and women came from all over the world to the city to help it fight for its survival. This is the story of the people inside the city, its sky blackened by the fires of its funeral pyres, and of those outside who watch with anguish the mounting crisis.

I hope you enjoy Silent Lips.

AMAZON 5-STAR REVIEW!

MOVE OVER, TOM CLANCY’S RAINBOW SIX!

The Euros grab the headlines and the reader!

By BOBA on March 1 2015

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

Like many of Glenn Ashton's other books, this one grabs you right away and doesn't let up until the very end.

The "Euros" will satisfy anyone who is a fan of the Rainbow Six and Private para-military groups fighting off the bad guys. However, they are a bit classier and less super-human, therefore much more believable.

In this case the bad guys are taken from the current headlines and set in both Notre Dame Cathedral and the sewers in Paris. The location is finely crafted and shows an obvious flair for detailed research.

This is a highly enjoyable read but don't expect to just read a bit and then put it down. That won't happen!

The Euros: Notre Dame Point Zero

What is my latest book - The Euros: Notre Dame Point Zero – about?

How would you rescue women and children held hostage in Notre Dame cathedral in Paris by a band of faceless, nameless and ruthless men, who have attached bombs to each hostage, and threaten to blow up the cathedral if their demands are not met?

That is the problem that The Euros face in this, the first book of the series about them.

The Euros is the name for the Euro Protection Bureau, the highly skilled, well trained super cops unit formed to protect the European Union from threats to its integrity.

With five headquarters – the Puzzle House in London, the Grooming House in Paris, the Toy House in Berlin, the Garage in Rome and the Story House in Prague - the PuzzleMaker and Headmaster, directors of the London and Paris HQs, have a limited time to find a way to make themselves invisible so that they may enter the cathedral, rescue the hostages, save the cathedral, and capture the Bad Guys.
