Some good news and some absence of news:
First the good: I've finally let The Last Hand loose on the kindle. It's only a short story so it's only going to be 99c or whatever that translates to on Amazon. Here's the quick bio -
A monster with a secret.
A federal agent gets a final chance to ask a serial killer to give up the location of one of his victims.
Can the mystery of the last hand be solved before it's too late?
A short story thriller from the author of NRPD: The mean streets.
Sounds good eh?
Now the absence of news - I tried to review my own book as I said in the last post, but Amazon wouldn't let me. I even emailed them to complain and show them what I wanted to say, but they ignored that, so far. I'll have to keep trying. Here's the review because they can't stop me posting it here.
"It may not be exactly good form to review your own book, but unfortunately it isn't possible to see the comments and reviews from the English website. Here they are, so customers can have a fair and informed choice when considering the purchase of NRPD: The mean streets. Thank you and cheers, Nick.
5 Stars FUNNY AND DIFFERENT
I AM A GREAT FAN OF THE WORK OF DOUGLAS ADAMS AND THIS BOOK WAS VERY SIMILAR IN STYLE IN MY OPINION .I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE WHO LIKES A GOOD LAUGH AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE AUTHORS NEXT BOOK. Paul.
5 Stars Great read!
This is a really enjoyable book. First time I've read anything from this author but would certainly read more. Story was entertaining and laugh out loud funny at times. A.book that was quite hard to put down. Would recommend to all. Yvonne.
4 Stars Bizarre but fun
Couldn't quite get my head around a book set in Rochdale but whose author used a lot of 'Americanisms' like 'Mirandising the suspect' etc. however the weird blend of offbeat policeman and the supernatural is a winner. I. D. Slade
5 Stars Fantastic read!!!!!
I have to say this is the best book I have read in a long time. Living in Rochdale I am familiar with the events and locations but the story that Nick has woven them into is brilliant. I will certainly recommend the book to my family and friends, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading it, I am sure it is the first of many by this author. Mrs. C. M. Wood "Mrs C".
4 Stars entertaining read
Great characters in an interesting storyline. had a few Laugh out Loud moments. Takes some concentration as there are plenty of twists and turns in the plot! J. Kilbane.
5 Stars Brilliant read!
Although I love police procedural books after a few pages in I realised this was not the usual type. Very well written,funny & had me gripped throughout. Would definitely recommend. Nnchnero.
5 Stars NRPD: The mean streets
Amazing funny and kept me hooked until the end well done Nick Burrill a great achievement you should be proud. Melissa."
Anyway, onwards and upwards.
Thanks for letting me moan.
Last thing - NRPD: The mean streets and The Last Hand are free on Saturday 20th April. Get them, read them, review them.

Help me!
Ok. I've not been on here for a while because I've been uber busy. I finally published NRPD: The mean streets on the Kindle and I seem to spend most of my time marketing the book instead of writing. But that's not the problem.
The problem is I'm about to do something totally uncool, but I have good reason (I think).
I'm going to...
review my own book on Amazon.
I don't think it's the done thing. Although I've beenm pushed into it and I'll tell you why.
Since NRPD went live I've received great reviews on the amazon.co.uk website. It's been brilliant. If anyone looks on the website the reviews are giving me 4.7 stars. Fantastic.
But... on the American version amazon.com I've only got one review. It claims that the book is boring and the reviewer didn't even read it fully. It only gave me one star.
I am very glad that people take the time to review and I can appreicate differing views. But there is a massive difference between the two websites, and the review that everyone sees in Germany, and Canada, and Italy, and everywhere in the world apart from England is the unfair review. I have complained to amazon but they cannot change it and they cannot add the good reviews to the .com site either. This would give a fairer view of opinions of my book.
So I'm going to review my own book on the .com site and quote the good reviews.
This is where anybody who has read NRPD can help me. Please review it. If you don't like it then that's fine, just review it fairly. If you haven't got NRPD then I'll let you into a secret - (whispers) it's free on the 20th April - viewBook.at/B00APOHSV0 download it, read it, review it.
I'll let you know how I get on.
Cheers, Nick
