Suspense/Thrillers seem to be quite popular, and so I thought I’d write another one. Twenty years after I quit my job in a college as an examinations assistant, the time was right in the summer of this year to create the novella ‘Examining Kitchen Cupboards‘.
Jill Hayes discovers that not all is as it seems in her new post as a college examinations administrator. When she turns whistle-blower and tries to report her findings to the authorities, she is horrified to discover that some people will stop at nothing to ensure her silence.
When I worked at a college back in 1999 I found out just what Jill discovered, but it took me twenty years to get around to writing about it. Jill is braver than I ever was, as you will find out if you pre-order the novella. It will be just £0.99 / $0.99 until its publication date of 7th December 2019, when the price will then rise to £1.95 / $2.50.
The college I write about is fictional, as are all the characters. However, the exam question that sparked Jill’s nightmare is absolutely the genuine article from 1999.

Thanks Debby. Glad you’re enjoying it! The exam question is real, and also the response from the newspaper editors. All the rest I’ve made up.

Sounds great, Stevie! Unfortunately, this situation probably exists far too often. There’s the crime followed by the cover-up.

Check whether you’re on Amazon UK or Amazon US. If you’re on the right site and still cannot order, then you need to go to the ‘Contact Us’ section and complain. Can’t think of any other solution.

As I remember at the time, none of the main newspapers would print my letter.
