Welcome to the tour for Blood Red Steel by Damien Larkin! Read on for more details!

BloodRedSteel[1399]

Blood Red Steel (Big Red Book Series)

*Standalone Adventure

Publication Date: October 3, 2023

Genre: Science Fiction

Blood alone decides the fate of Mars

For two years, the Mars Expeditionary Force has held the line against the last remnants of the Third Reich. McCabe, Jenkins, and the Second Battalion long for home. Reinforcements have arrived, but the veterans of the MEF have one final mission. Defend Forward Base Zulu at all costs.

While Generalfeldmarschall Brandt plans a decisive showdown at Forward Base Zulu, Reichsführer Wagner celebrates the activation of the first generation of the Hollow Programme. Surrounded and cut off, McCabe and Jenkins once again find themselves in league with the MAJESTIC-12 operatives known as the Black Visors. Now the future hinges on the sacrifices of a few determined soldiers.

Excerpt

PART 1: STROLLING PAST THE CUTLINE
OUTSIDE NEW BERLIN COLONY, MARS
18th MARCH 1956
08:58 MST (MARS STANDARD TIME)
DAY 727 OF THE OCCUPATION
23 DAYS UNTIL THE FIRST TERRAN – MARTIAN WAR

Four hundred and eighty-eight men of the Second Battalion waited beyond the gates of New
Berlin, on soil where their brethren had died two years earlier. They each stood at attention,
staring at the vast, dented main entrance to the colony. Lieutenant William McCabe lingered
in a line at the front, the surviving lieutenants and acting captains to either side. Their
commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel ‘Mad Jack’ Wellesley, faced the unopened doors. He
slid his sword free and held the blade aloft.
“Strike banners!”

McCabe, officers, and NCOs repeated the order. A line of men behind Mad Jack reacted. In
well-practised motions, they hoisted the colours of their nations high, but without any wind,
the flags flopped. After eight months of hunting werewolf units and ambushing Wehrmacht
forces across the barren Martian terrain, McCabe had hoped for even a light breeze to see the
British flag flutter in all its glory. He gazed across the French, Polish, Soviet, West German,
and Irish flags representing the make-up of the battalion and imagined the scene of the
banners fluttering at full strength.

“Raise the standard!” Mad Jack said, and again, his order echoed.
One soldier stepped forward from the line and hoisted a pole with a wolfskin dangling from
it. Macabre as the spectacle appeared, their wolfskin standard had become a rallying point for
the beleaguered battalion after months of death and destruction. They liberated it from an SS
bunker out in the Badlands at the start of their mission, and it seemed fitting for their
operation. Since tasked with hunting and exterminating the werewolf terrorists fuelling the
insurrections across the colonies, they branded themselves wolf hunters.
“Battalion, prepare to march. March!”

As one, four hundred and eighty-eight pairs of feet thudded the blood-red sand. The
reinforced doors to New Berlin lumbered open. McCabe took a deep breath, fighting the
growing tightness in his chest. The strange, lightheaded dizziness that took him from time to
time seeped into his skull. Focusing on his breathing, he maintained his gaze on the opening
doors ahead. Jenkins cleared his throat across the open common channel and prepared to sing
the battalion anthem.

“Oh, King Ares, wades in blood to his knees, a warrior is he.”
A momentary pause before the battalion repeated his words in a thundering, unified voice.
“Oh, King Ares, wades in blood to his knees, a warrior is he.”
“He calls for his knife, he calls for his rifle, he calls for the Second Batt infantry.”
“He calls for his knife, he calls for his rifle, he calls for the Second Batt infantry.”
“New Berlin is ours, says the Colonel!”
“New Berlin is ours, says the Colonel!”
“It’s raining lead, say the captains.”
“It’s raining lead…”

The tightness in McCabe’s chest intensified when they entered the tunnel leading to the
airlocks into the colony. His hands shook in the strange involuntary way they did at random
intervals. He could hear his heart pounding, but knew if he checked his pulse, everything
would be fine. Sounds of gunfire, explosions, and screaming rattled through his skull.
“First o’er the top, say the louies.”
“First o’er…”

The main entrance slammed shut behind the battalion, and the first armoured airlock door
rose. Two years ago, McCabe had led an assault on the command station above, seizing
control of it with the mysterious Black Visors. Three days of brutal fighting in the Battle of
New Berlin preceded an unimaginable cycle of violence, costing him the lives of countless
good men. Images of butchered Nazis and his own slaughtered soldiers danced across his
vision. He tightened his grip on the butt of his Lee-Enfield to ease the trembling in his
fingers.
“Don’t get paid to slack, says sar’nt major.”
“Don’t get…”

Shame filled McCabe when the dizziness blurred his eyesight. His lads relied on him to be
their strength, yet his own body betrayed him. He experienced fear in battle like many men,
but it never engulfed him. Why now? Why when no shots erupted, with none of his soldiers
dying, could he hear those awful screams?
“Fix bayonets, says the Colour.”
“Fix bayonets…”

The airlock door thumped down behind the marching battalion, leaving one more between
them and the colony. McCabe fought to reassert control before they entered. Thoughts of
losing command of himself, of collapsing in front of his men without any physical wound,
mortified him. They’d never look at him the same way again. As one of Her Majesty’s
soldiers, he needed to pull himself together and act like it.
“Boots, one size fits all, says the BQ.”
“Boots, one size…”

Get it Here!

Blog Tour: Just a Fika – Beck Erixson

ramblingmads


Family.
They’re always meddling in your love life
Even after they’re dead.
Brooklynite-and genealogist-Ingrid Ekstrom accepts a surprise request from her typically estranged family: to become the live-in caretaker of their shared historic house in the sleepy Jersey Shore town of Aegir Haven. A fun-loving cousin is quick to introduce Ingrid to the local handyman and bluegrass musician. As he fixes up the place, Ingrid digs into the house’s past and learns about the family she barely knows.
And then Mormor-her long-dead grandmother-shows up, acting as though not being in the spirit realm is perfectly normal.
Ingrid’s always yearned for stronger family connections, and it’s nice having Mormor around.
Mormor tries to set her up with a young real estate attorney who’s closer to her more thunderous, god-like personal standards than the musician with keen senses Ingrid is falling for. As lore and
legends mingle with real life, she’s torn. Mormor’s fantastical family sagas can’t actually be true, right?

Purchase

Beck Erixson writes about the beautifully awkward world of navigating the journey to true happiness through friendships, love, and family—be it blood, found, or chosen. Her stories enhance the importance of positive interconnection, even when we feel lonely. She lives on the
Jersey Shore, and can often be found either writing by the river, or in it in some way. Her short stories have appeared in Many Nice Donkeys, and Full Mood Mag.

Twitter Instagram TikTok

My thoughts: this is a bit of a strange mix of genres, from a sort of ghost story, with the dead relatives popping in, romance and family history.

Ingrid is staying in her late grandmother’s house in a rather unusual town and her Mormor (Swedish for grandmother) pops up, apparently the Norse gods (possibly Loki) allow the women of their family to come back to see their descendants.

There’s two very different brothers that Ingrid can’t choose between, a hurricane rolling in and cousins to re-bond with. All she wanted was to hang out with her family and do some genealogy research. Guess sometimes the universe (or the gods) has other plans.

Blog Tour: The Beginning of Everything – Jackie Fraser

ramblingmads

The Beginning of Everything is the story of Jess and Gethin, whose paths cross in the most unexpected way. Jess is running, leaving all she knows and everyone she loves behind her, with just a few treasured belongings in her rucksack. She’s escaping from the pain and trauma of a bad relationship with a bad man, gone very badly wrong. Gethin’s kindness and care takes her breath away. They become friends. But with so much hurt in her past, can Jess learn to love and live again?

My thoughts: this was a lovely book, a really enjoyable read. Jess and Gethin are delightful and I was so happy when they finally managed to actually talk about their feelings.

Jess has fled from her home, from her abusive, controlling boyfriend. She breaks into an abandoned house to keep warm, only for Gethin to one day unlock the front door. He’s bought the house. And he invites her to stay. It’s an unconventional start to a truly lovely friendship, that slowly blossoms into more.

Jess is wary of being hurt and can’t believe anyone as kind and generous as Gethin really exists. She’s easily startled and hasn’t dealt with any of the stuff that happened to her before.

But it’s such a sweet story, and Gethin is a genuinely lovely man, who cares for Jess and wants to give her the world. If you enjoy a good old fashioned romance, where you’re rooting for them all the way, then this is a book you need to buy.

Blog Tour: Blackmail in Bloomsbury – Anna Sayburn Lane

ramblingmads

A bohemian party, a handsome artist – and murder.

London, October 1922. When Marjorie Swallow attends her first Bloomsbury party, she worries the conversation will be over her head. But when the night ends in murder, she has more pressing concerns.

Was the culprit really the handsome young artist she danced the night away with? And why did so many people want Betty Norris dead? From the garden squares of Bloomsbury to the smart restaurants of Piccadilly and the seedy backstreets of Soho, apprentice detective Marjorie goes on a perilous hunt for the killer.

Blackmail in Bloomsbury brings 1920s London to life in a classic murder mystery.

Anna is a writer and journalist, living by the sea on the Kent coast.

Blackmail In Bloomsbury marks a new direction for Anna’s writing, switching from contemporary thrillers with a historical back-story into cosy historical mysteries. Anna is fascinated by the 1920s, a period of enormous social change that can seem both very modern and more than 100 years ago.

Anna enjoys research in the British Library, coastal walks, summer swimming and yoga on the beach. Blackmail In Bloomsbury is her fifth novel.

Website Email

My thoughts: I must confess that I am on Anna’s ARC reader list, so I have read this delightful book several times now. But even if I wasn’t, this is a book that’s right up my street.

Historical crime fiction with a quirky and delightful female protagonist and her eccentric private investigator employer. Absolutely aimed at someone like me.

Bringing London in the 1920s brightly to life, with the fashions and cocktails of the age, as naive but determined to succeed Marjorie sets about investigating.

This series is only just beginning, and I am so excited to see where it goes. I love Marjorie, she’s naive about a lot but does understand people and it helps her get to the bottom of things. She’s a natural detective and her skills can only improve.

You can get a free short story about Marjorie and how she got her job if you sign up to Anna’s mailing list, which I also recommend.

#TeamScilly Blog Tour: Double Review – Devil’s Table & The Brutal Tide – Kate Rhodes

ramblingmads

A MISSING CHILD
St Martin’s is shrouded in bitterly cold fog when Jade Minear and her twin brother, Ethan, are attacked in a field, late at night. Ethan manages to return home but the shocking events of Jade’s disappearance have rendered him mute.

A LONG-HELD GRUDGE
On a small island where there are few places a child can hide, DI Ben Kitto must battle the elements to search for Jade. When his investigation reveals that the Minear family have many enemies on the island, Kitto grows increasingly worried that Jade is in danger.

A KILLER HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT . . .
Meanwhile, someone on the island knows exactly where the girl is. Someone with a deep-seated hatred of Jade’s family. To find the truth, Kitto must investigate the lives of the people he has known all of his life. Because one of them is lying – and it isn’t long until a body is found . . .

My thoughts: families aren’t always the safe place they should be, and when Jade, one half of the Minear twins, goes missing at the height of her family’s busy flower harvest, secrets and suffering inside the family threatens to overflow.

Ben’s investigating brings him into close contact with Jade’s twin, Ethan, who communicates mainly through music, as Jade was his voice. Can Nina bring him out of his shell and help him tell Ben what happened and where his sister is?

Someone holds a grudge against the family, and Ben has to work through each member and their secrets, trying to find out who and why they hate the Minears so much. It gets pretty dark as more members come under attack, and the final revelation shatters some. But once again, Ben and his team work together to break through the tough hard knit community prejudices to solve a terrible crime, with reverberating consequences for the island.

REVENGE
DI Ben Kitto made many enemies in his time working as an undercover officer for the Met police, none more ruthless and calculating than gang leader Craig Travis.

IS WORTH
Travis has longed to make Kitto pay for his role in getting him convicted – and that day has finally arrived. Now, a dark and twisted killer is heading for the Scilly Isles, one who has waited a long time for revenge.

WAITING FOR . . .
With Kitto busy investigating the discovery of a body on the islands and distracted by the imminent arrival of his first child, his defences are down. He has so much to lose.

And Travis will stop at nothing to take it all from him.

My thoughts: before Ben returned to the Scillies, he worked undercover bringing down a criminal gangster, who is now dying in prison. The one person who loved that man the most is his daughter, and taking the lessons her father taught her, she has decided the time has come for revenge on those, like Ben, who betrayed him.

As she ticks off her list, travelling across England, with Ben last in her sights, she comes to the attention of the police. They want Ben on the mainland, but he knows he’s safer tucked away on an island, or is he?

Can he stop the killing, and will a different way of life stop Ruby from making any more mistakes?

This is definitely the most personal case Ben has investigated yet, the islanders have nothing to do with it, he’s brought this to them and with Nina and Shadow also potential victims, he has to stop the violence before they are harmed, or he is. The tension is incredible and the fact is that while being isolated on an island can be protection, it can also make you more vulnerable, cut off from help.

Blog Tour: A Long Time Burning – J A Higgins

ramblingmads


Nell has had a terrible year, so she travels to North Chase to find some true Christmas magic. But the town has its own problems; its solstice festival is tainted by the disappearance of two teenage boys and a witch’s curse is blamed.
Then, nine-month-old Ava is threatened. Has a medieval killer been awoken or does something else haunt the woods?
Nell must battle through horrific nightmares and face her own demons to expose the truth before another child is spirited away. There is magic in the air this Christmas, but behind the tinsel and
baubles glitters a terrifying secret that one family has hidden for centuries, and only Nell can uncover it.

My thoughts: Nell decides to spend Christmas alone in North Chase, where her grandmother grew up. It’s an old place, with lots of history and traditions. Surely there she can find some peace.

But ghosts of old curses, tales of witches buried at the crossroads and other spooky stories abound and Nell, along with her friends Max and Austin, is drawn into the mysterious goings on. Is it an ancient curse or is someone very modern threatening the local lord of the manor’s baby daughter?

Full of ghosts and folk tales, North Chase ends up being the worst place Nell could have picked, and then there’s the appearance of her estranged father to contend with too. Thankfully her friends are there to help her and between them they solve some mysteries before Christmas Day is ruined by ghostly noises and modern day murder.

Blog Tour: You’d Look Better as a Ghost – Joanna Wallace

ramblingmads

I have a gift. I see people as ghosts before they die. Of course, it helps that I’m the one killing them.

The night after her father’s funeral, Claire meets Lucas in a bar. Lucas doesn’t know it, but it’s not a chance meeting. One thoughtless mistyped email has put him in the crosshairs of an extremely put-out serial killer. But before they make eye contact, before Claire lets him buy her a drink, even before she takes him home and carves him up into little pieces, something about that night is very wrong. Because someone is watching Claire. Someone who is about to discover her murderous little hobby.

The thing is, it’s not sensible to tangle with a part-time serial killer, even one who is distracted by attending a weekly bereavement support group and trying to get her art career off the ground. Let the games begin…

Dexter meets Killing Eve in this superb thriller, perfect for fans of How To Kill Your Family and My Sister the Serial Killer.

Joanna Wallace worked as a solicitor until an autoimmune condition took away some of her sight. She now volunteers at a charity helpline and runs a family business with her husband. She was partly inspired to write You’d Look Better as A Ghost following her father’s diagnosis of early onset dementia. Joanna lives near London with her husband, four children and two dogs.

My thoughts: there’s a particular sub-genre of pitch black humour that really appeals to me, and this book has plenty of that. Is it the serial killer narrator? Is it the fact that her killings have no real overarching reasons? I don’t really know. I think I just enjoy the twisted darkness of these books a lot.

Claire kills people, people who annoy her, people who get in her way, there’s a man’s head in her fish tank, there’s probably several bodies in her garden. And the thing is, I get it. I have often become irrationally annoyed with people and wanted to kill them. I just haven’t acted on that impulse. Claire however, has no such qualms.

Unfortunately someone has been watching her, and so now they must die. And anyone involved in their scheme. Claire can’t have the police popping round.

Dark as Marmite and very much a book some people will hate, but I loved it. Yum.

Blog Tour: The Time of Cherries – Michael S. Hollington

ramblingmads

Burgundy, 1861.

Christine ‘Kiki’ Vellay, the daughter of vineyard workers, is forced to marry an older man in exchange for a piece of land. He abuses her. Seduced by a young naval cadet she plots to run away. When her husband is killed during the attempt, she finds herself wrongly accused of his murder.

Kiki is on the run.

On reaching Paris in disguise, Kiki discovers she is pregnant and takes on various jobs to survive. When her child is stolen from her, she begins a desperate attempt to find him. Her story takes her from imprisonment in the infamous Conciergerie, to a chateau in the Loire, back to Paris under siege – as a spy – during the Franco­Prussian war, culminating in a dramatic conclusion in the final bloody week of the Paris Commune.

A story of resilience in the face of immense hardship, The Time of Cherriesis a gripping account of a woman’s instinct and longing for her child.

Michael S Hollington qualified as a chartered surveyor. After spells in the City, Belgium and North America he spent the bulk of his career in Hong Kong, selling buildings on behalf of clients. He lives in London with his wife, Sarah. The Time of Cherries is his first published novel.

My thoughts: this was a really interesting, well written and researched historical novel with a delightful and compelling protagonist in Christine “Kiki” Vellay, who sometimes uses a lot of different names as she works her way through the 19th Century and Paris at the height of the Commune.

A resourceful and brave young woman, after the death of her horrible husband, she flees to the capital and using her wits and the skills she’s accrued as an educated seamstress, she takes on a variety of jobs, from chambermaid to accountant for a mining firm, eventually becoming a Baroness and a vintner.

Her son is kidnapped and she puts much of her efforts into rescuing him and building her finances so she can provide for him. She makes genuine friends along the way, as well as some false ones. Becoming a spy, she is double crossed but rescued once again by a face from her past.

I really enjoyed this book, it brings a period of time that doesn’t get covered much, to life and in the figure of Kiki, the hidden and often forgotten lives of ordinary women (even though she is pretty extraordinary).

Where Did the Wind Go?
Genre: YA Horror
Ages: 14 – 18

With the help of the newly formed Ghoul Gang, self-proclaimed ghost hunter Simon Woo soon learns that his new town of Ravenswood, North Carolina, is riddled with ghouls. But something even more nightmarish is lurking within the woods. And it has its eyes on Simon.

After moving with his family, Simon discovers that his new town is better fitting for a survivor in a horror movie rather than a junior in high school. He quickly befriends two other outsiders—Miles, the equally horror-obsessed new kid from New York City, and Riley, the resident goth girl with a secret.

As the brutal murders continue, the Ghoul Gang must discover the truth behind the ghoul in the woods in order to save Simon from becoming the entity’s new host.
