Mark Dawson’s debut thriller ‘The Art of Falling Apart’ is free on Kindle between 10th and 12th January. His three novels can be found at http://www.amazon.com/Mark-Dawson/e/B0034Q9BO8.
Already translated into multiple languages, Mark Dawson’s previously best-selling tale of sex, drugs (and rock and roll) makes its Kindle debut.
Synopsis
A story of greed, duplicity and death in the flamboyant, super-ego world of rock and roll. Dystopia have rocketed up the charts in Europe, so now it’s time to crack America. The opening concert in Las Vegas is a sell-out success — but secret envy and open animosity have begun to tear the group apart.
The lead singer, Vid, is on a roller-coaster of self-indulgence and egomania…Jared, the lead guitarist, resents being shouldered out of the limelight… Spin, the warm-up DJ, just cannot resist dangerous extra-marital adventures… nor can their manager, Alex, resist the lure of personal gain that greed and duplicity could bring him.
Then one of them dies, in an apparent accident, and there begins to unravel a chilling saga of dark emotions, cynical manipulation, and murderously ruthless self-interest.
Whether you are a vinyl junkie or you watch the pop world in fascinated horror, you will find The Art of Falling Apart as bewitching as the world it depicts.

As I post an interview a day (amongst other things) I can’t unfortunately review books but I have a list of those who do, and a feature called ‘Short Story Saturdays’ where I review stories of up to 2,500 words (and post stories of up to 3,000 words). Alternatively if you have a short story or self-contained novel extract / short chapter (ideally up to 1000 words) that you’d like critiqued and don’t mind me posting it online in my new Red Pen Critique Sunday night posts, then do email me. I am now also looking for flash fiction (<1000 words) for Flash Fiction Fridays and poetry for Post-weekend Poetry.
