Zara Vine: From £2.99

Monday, October 1st, 2018

 

Readers asked the author ‘What inspired you to write this new series?’

Tor Raven replied.

‘First I read nearly a hundred modern thrillers, all on Kindle, in the crime genre, written often by female authors. A few were American, the rest were British, Scandinavian and Icelandic. I learned the kind of thing go getters like to read, very different in style to the traditional stuff I had been writing. I spent time talking to young people, absorbing how they use and speak English, which has evolved significantly since social media burst upon us. I saw that a lot of fiction is read on phones while multi-tasking, or on tablets if more relaxed. It is rare to see a book on a plane or train now. But for those who prefer, in addition to the e-book, Zara also comes in full size paperback with easy read print.

The pressures in our modern society cry out for a strong heroine who knows her mind and thrives on challenge. Zara will not let you down. As for the choice of name? It is international and once you say Zara Vine twice it sticks in your head and you never forget it. Finally, to introduce her to you, I selected the darkest subject matter that troubles everybody and is shaking all public institutions, especially the church, to the core.

Now read Book One! You will be gripped from the start and I think you will like Zara Vine. This is the first in a series, so there is lots more Zara to come.’

Tory Conference

Monday, October 1st, 2018

Government is about leadership as much as it is about anything. It is also about unity, common purpose, and a narrative which connects. It is  about a vision which is translated into policies that deliver outcomes which advance the standard of life of the population by all measures and in every quarter. Those were once the core values of the Tory party. Now it is failing by every single measure.

Everybody is arguing with everybody, plotting and planning for a variety of outcomes, not one of which has enough support to get anywhere. Candidates to replace May are lining up and jockeying for position. None inspire nor command enough backers to carry the day, but they and their sponsors seek out every media opportunity to savage each other. There is no longer a cabinet but an argument. The parliamentary party is a fight.

Unless something, someone or all of them get a grip, they are headed for one thing and one thing only.

Corbyn.
