H ayden Duke just landed a coveted contract gig with Marin Design Engineering, largely thanks to his old friend, Shane Fallon. Shane had drifted away in recent years, only to resurface with a dream job for Hayden. The gig seems like a cinch until Hayden discovers that a key designer on the top-secret project has just committed suicide by walking straight into the ocean.
The dream job becomes a nightmare when Shane takes his own life in a seemingly drug induced stupor. The only clue to Shane’s death is an e-mail with an encrypted file he sends to Hayden. It’s a file people would kill to possess.
The police already suspect Hayden in the death–because of a bogus drug charge from the past–and finding anyone to trust seems impossible. Now Hayden’s got to risk losing everything…before he loses his life.
From the author of Paying the Piper and Accidents Waiting to Happen, We All Fall Down is the latest installment of Simon Wood’s pedal-to-the-metal thriller catalog.

All becomes clear when she meets the seductive Sebastian and learns his family’s secret.
Foxblood: A Brush with the Moon is a 75,000 word Young / New Adult novel, the first in the series, and it contains scenes not suitable for under 14′s.
(Previously published as Foxblood:The Chase)
Reviews:
Foxblood begins with rather normal action of two young people conversing on the phone but as soon as the new accomodation is mentioned our antennae start to twitch (just as the author intended!) The prose is competently structured to move the story along and the characterisation is credible and three dimensional. The differing aspects of supernatural, extraordinary powers, darkness, menace and humour are blended in an optimum mix to make this an entertaining read. Robert Davidson.
This is young adult fantasy at its best! The pace put me straight into the story and I was engrossed.
Very convincing dialogue, not forced or contrived, good credible supporting characters and an impressive build up.
Jane
Your brilliant fantasy grabbed me and kept me riveted. Credible characters with emotional depth. Crisp dialogue. confident narrative. Vital writing. I love this story.

T here is–and could only ever be–one Billy Bob Thornton: actor, musician, Academy Award-winning screenwriter, and accidental Hollywood badass.

Best of all, he’s feeding these truly incredible stories and righteous philosophical rants through his close friend, Kinky Friedman–legendary country music star, bestselling author, would-be politician, and all-around bon vivant. Put these two iconoclasts together and you get a star’s story that’s actually an insightful pop culture manifesto–a hybrid offspring of Born Standing Up with Sh*t My Dad Says.
