So I just did something kinda bad. Not anything horrible that would cause pain to anyone, but I know it’s not a good thing and I did it anyways. Which is sorta sad because I was just thinking about how this year I was going to try and be a better person and parent. Then ten seconds later I turn around and do something I know is not good, but it’s one of those “End justifies the means” sorta thing. Now I am not going to tell you what it is because it’s a bad thing and I you guys already know I am a horrible cook who has horrible grammar. I certainly don’t want you guys to know more bad things about me. I actually caught myself doing the evil hand twiddling that you always see the villains doing in the movies. I wonder if they feel the same way I do. I know I did bad, but its okay. This is why I have my partner in crime. She can be my conscience and steer me in the right direction. Or not… she is a partner in CRIME after all.

TRANSIENT is in development with Voltage Pictures (The Hurt Locker, Dallas Buyers Club) to become a feature film!
The year is 2578 and immortals control the world. Brutal wars and endless genocide have reduced mankind to a handful of mountain tribes. In order to survive, humans infiltrate the eternal society as transient spies, hoping to uncover a means to regain control of the planet.
Jonas is a young transient deep undercover in downtown Seattle. He lives underground, works at night, and drinks his daily blood rations, just like any normal eternal. He is a model spy, but also an apostate among extremists, torn between ideologies (as well as lovers) from either side.
Allegiances are strained to the breaking point when Jonas bears witness to a violent death that rocks the eternal civilization to its core.
TRANSIENT is a young adult science fiction novel. The story will appeal to fans of post-apocalyptic dystopian fiction such as Suzanne Collins’s THE HUNGER GAMES and James Dashner’s THE MAZE RUNNER.

by Alex Cotton

FREE for a limited time
Third book in the series.
Continuing on from “Don’t Tell My Mum”. It’s now 1977 and we follow Alex through the twists and turns of growing up and leaving home, from the engagement party that she doesn’t really want, through to the wedding that has nothing to do with the bride and groom at all and ending with a baby that was planned but ‘not supposed to happen for another year’.
Among all the events are the ever present strange family. the attention seeking, all singing mother who can now buy a hat and be centre of attention at the wedding, the father, paralyzed with fear at the thought of walking down the aisle and giving a speech and the little brother who is still of a nervous disposition but has now swapped Avon collecting for drinking at age nine.
We also meet the in- laws who are even stranger and make the first family seem almost normal. Throw in a house full of slugs, shoplifting pensioners, patronising doctors, ill fitting hospital gowns and hallucinating sisters in law and you get some of the picture. If you liked the first books this one should give you a giggle.
“My mother said she would write me a note to get me out of being a witness,I told her it was Crown Court , not P.E”
“Terence was still in the closet at this point but the door was almost hanging off it’s hinges”
“I told my mother you had to suffer to be beautiful, she said she wouldn’t bother, she’d managed this long, she’d stay as she was”.
Can be read as a stand alone book but to appreciate fully should be read as a series.
