Mel Sherratt’s WATCHING OVER YOU is celebrated at Amazon Publishing and the MM Literary Agency

                 

Amazon Publishing / Thomas & Mercer have just published Mel Sherratt’s new psychological suspense thriller, WATCHING OVER YOU.  They have a huge level of promotion in store for this terrifying, yet compulsive thriller.

‘Watching Over You is a tense, erotic thriller with one of the most terrifying antagonists I’ve ever read. The worst terrors are always those that hide closest to home and Charley’s experiences–negotiating her path alone–will be familiar to many. She is as vulnerable as any of us, stronger than she realises, and yet still in mortal danger. Charley is my new best friend, and Ella a terrifying villain–outwardly ordinary and utterly unhinged.’ –Elizabeth Haynes, author of Into the Darkest Corner

 You’ll never trust your neighbours again…  

Following the death of her husband and unborn child, Charley Belington sells the family home and bravely starts life over again. On moving into a new flat, she is befriended by her landlady, Ella, who seems like the perfect friend and confidante.

 But, unbeknown to Charley, Ella is fighting her own dark and dirty demons as the fallout from a horrific childhood sends her spiralling down into madness—and unspeakable obsessions.

 As Ella’s mind splinters, her increasingly bizarre attentions make Charley uneasy. But with every step Charley tries to take to distance herself, Ella moves in a tightening lockstep with her, closer and closer and closer…

From the bestselling author of Taunting the Dead comes a raw, intense, relentless, and darkly claustrophobic psychological thriller that grabs you by the back of the neck and never lets you go.

Kathryn explains her journey and offers advice to writers:

‘It’s been a long anxiety-ridden and rejection-filled journey to get to this point, but I got here for the following reasons:

1.         I sat at my computer and barely moved until I had written 100,000 words.

2.        I was lucky enough to find a fantastic agent who believed in my novel from the very beginning.

3.        I dreamed a dream and never let it go because I am stubborn!

Whatever your goal is, believe in it, and yourself, and you will make it happen.  I’m not saying it will be easy, and there will be times you want to pack it all in, but the people who achieve their goals are the ones who persevere.  I believe it’s as simple as that!

Let’s hope I can remember my own advice as I continue my journey and try to persuade readers to add my novel to their Amazon baskets!  And maybe then I will call myself an author without feeling like I’m talking about someone else…’

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS has already had 5* review coverage and a fabulous first few weeks of sales! It’s available in paperback and as an ebook on Kindle.
