Today’s the day. Shallow Waters is live and available to the unsuspecting public. Or if you read this blog, those who should be very suspicious…
Shallow Waters
When the naked, battered body of an unidentified teenager is found dumped in an alleyway, post-mortem finds evidence of a harrowing series of events.
Another teenage death with the same MO pushes DI Hannah Robbins and her team on the Nottingham City division Major Crimes Unit, to their limits, and across county borders. In a race against the clock they attempt to unpick a thick web of lies and deceit to uncover the truth behind the deaths.
But it doesn’t stop there. When catching a killer isn’t enough, just how far are the team willing to push themselves to save the next girl?
It is currently available on Amazon in all territories and on Kobo in all territories. So whichever eReader you use and whichever country you reside in, you will be able to obtain Shallow Waters. Amazon UK, Amazon US, Kobo
I will be joining the Apple iStore as well, but that proved a little too much ground to cover and will be an ongoing project. I’ve started the process and have signed up as a business with them, so expect to see it in there within the next couple of weeks.
I had some formatting issues with Amazon over the weekend. I took the book down reloaded and republished it after checking it on my own kindle first. Please let me know if you see any formatting issues with it and I’ll check it out. Though it does view differently on all the different devices Kindle books can be read on, even the Kindles themselves, not just a change between a Kindle and a phone.
So, the crux of this long post, is that I’m now a published author! Thank you for your support this past few weeks. It has been very much appreciated.

Hope you can relax and enjoy it. I’m really enjoying reading it. Happy Christmas xx
Thanks Steph. Have a great Christmas. xx
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Huge Congratulations, Rebecca. Enjoy your release day. May it be the first of many x
Thank you Jane. It is definitely the first one 🙂 xx
Yay – congratulations, well done… and now the hard work starts (or continues). Good luck, Rebecca, looking forward to reading it!
Thank you Marina. Work is already underway on the second one and I am looking forward to getting back to it after the Christmas holidays. 🙂 x
Congratulations! I’ve just bought it on Kobo. I’ll be reading it in the new year and I’ll let you know when I review it!
You know, Smashwords has connections with Apple and other online retailers. If you look at their ‘Premium’ distribution service (which doesn’t cost anything), all you have to do is upload your book to smashwords with the correct formatting to get it accepted, and then Smashwords will upload your book to lots of other shops. I had a little trouble with the formatting, mostly that you need to use bookmarks for the contents and you can’t include links to Amazon or other retailers in your book (I did that as a flat “here’s where to post a review on the website you bough it” thing and I listed the main retailers).
I recommend it! Check it out:

Thanks for buying it! I hope you enjoy it! And thanks for the Smashwords link. I was trying to do each retailer myself for some unknown reason. I might have a look at that link though because I think Apple is difficult to do if you don’t have a Mac.
Rebecca, many congratulations! It’s the right season for a book release. All the best to you.
Thank you Prashant! 🙂
Fabulous, Rebecca – I know how hard you’ve worked for this – hope to see it flying up the charts 🙂
