The Story - Be Careful What You Read

Beschreibung

Daniel and the demure, and slightly shy Gabby are due to go on holiday to Kefalonia. Gabby, having received a bonus from work, treats herself to some clothes. Realizing she hadn't bought much for Daniel, she sees an e-book in the window of a second-hand shop. With only one story loaded, she reads the synopsis and sees that it is a rom-com, knowing it's not Daniel's style but still buys it for him. When he reads the synopsis, he finds the story to be a violent action thriller. He decides to save the book until they are on holiday, and in the run-up, the weather in Britain turns unseasonably cold. As he starts to read the story, he discovers it is a spy thriller but begins to notice strange similarities between the characters in the story and their own experiences. The more he reads, the more uncomfortable he becomes. He speaks to Gabby about it, but she dismisses it as a coincidence. He notices words changing as he reads them, and the e-book seems to be communicating with him. Gradually, the story starts to predict their future, a future full of danger. He feels compelled to continue reading and ignores Gabby, driving her into the arms of another man to fulfil her desires that Daniel wasn't giving her. Too late, he finds out that he must never stop reading.

Autor

TG Trouper lives with his wife in Essex, England. They have one son who lives in America. TG spent years working in the live music industry, organising equipment for some of the biggest names in rock and pop. Only when he retired early to look after aging parents did he find the time to start writing, something that he had wanted to do for years. He still works part-time in the music business; as he says, no one ever actually retires from it. After years of playing in various pub and club bands, he now occasionally plays guitar and sings in a duo. TG is passionately against the use of generative AI in writing. He believes that the reading public wants something written from the human heart and not something created in a microsecond by a machine. He encourages all readers to ask if a book has any AI generated content, and if it has, to refuse to buy it. AI has its place. In science, medicine, industry etc...it will become invaluable, just not in the creative arts. However, all search engines now use AI, so the use of AI while researching subjects for novels is unavoidable. This title, The Burning, is his eighth release and the second in a series of crime stories that follow the character arc of Detective Naomi Charlton.
