Well, Incarnate Justice is coming on rather well and, bar major problems, I see myself finishing the first draft by end of next week. I’m extremely excited about this project as it’s quite unlike anything I have ever written before and hopefully it will prove to be the kind of book people didn’t realise they wanted until they read it.
Today is the official cover reveal on Facebook, which you now see reflected in the website header. If you’re in a cave here it is in all it’s technicolour glory.
I can only give a huge vote of thanks to Caroline Lee for surpassing my expectations of what I requested.
I can’t set the book up for pre-order on Amazon until my pre-order ban expires on Sunday 8th November 2015. However you can now pre-order on other sites.

I’d like now to share a brief excerpt from Incarnate Justice. When reading please bear in mind that the book is set in 2040, with flashbacks to the current time.
The yellow and black crime scene tape fluttered in the light breeze and DS Lamont noticed the CSIs padding around in their ghostly white suits and overshoes. DI Lynch showed her warrant card to one of the uniformed officers guarding the cordon. The officer lifted the cordon for them to duck beneath and pretty soon they were on the far side.
“Can you sense anything?” Lynch asked Joe. He nodded; aware that he felt like he was being choked and for a moment he felt unable to breathe much less speak. That was due to more than the inevitable stench of decomposed remains, that sense of foreboding wrapped itself tightly around him.
“What can you sense?” Lynch asked.
Lamont cleared his throat.
“Definitely Spirit here, Boss, and not necessarily benevolent either.”
His hand closed briefly, almost reactionary around the tourmaline pendant.
“It tells me that whoever buried the remains left something of himself here.” Whitfield replied.
Finally they were permitted to draw closer and they saw an arrangement of human bones on a mossy bed.
“She’s been here about twenty-five years,” Dr Monica Kaufman, the pathologist, said “She was a Caucasian female, very young, In fact, judging by the bones I’d say she was in her early teens. I’ll have to consult a forensic anthropologist to be sure, although I’m hoping there is enough to identify her by her dental records. ”
Joe was aware that Dr Kaufman was addressing the regular police officers and knew that the presence of Psychic CID officers was merely tolerated because of the legal mandate that they attend. He was aware from his time in regular CID that Kaufman was a renowned skeptic in psychic matters and he wished that any other pathologist could have been sent rather than her. Still, sometimes you had to work with what you were given. Joe knew that Dr Kaufman, and indeed most of the regular police officers present, would be hard pushed to find a psychic connection to any case so if there was any to be found it was up to him and his new colleagues to find it.
Joe felt himself being drawn away and found himself in his regular nightmarish dreamscape. He could see that the young girl was running, but for a change he was watching from an observatory, rather than participatory viewpoint. He was aware of her laboured breathing and her adrenaline flushed cheeks as she looked right at him
“Help me!” Her eyes pleaded.
Then everything went black.
The proposed release date for Incarnate Justice is Monday 23rd November 2015. Please watch this site and social media for advanced promos and further information.
Until then you can
