More Life as a Dog by L.A Davenport

Blood Ribbon by Roger Bray-

Someone has been killing women and burying them for over 25 years- buried

in the sand dunes and marked on his map. There is a link but a very tenuous one

and one that is not public knowledge.  Brooke has been lucky after a difficult start.

She was taken in by Nico having been wandering the streets and sleeping rough

after being old enough to leave her foster home. Nico not only gave her a place to

stay and work but his trust and faith in her. Something she had never had. When

she is attacked but lives to tell the tale her life takes on a different slant. A story

of friendships and enduring memories. Of that family doesn’t have to be blood

relations just those close to you. I really enjoyed this and read it in a day. I liked

Brooke- she has tenacity and determination and that want to put something back

which to me is an honorable thing.  This is different from the normal PI crime

stories as the PI takes a back seat and even Brooke investigating is done well,

in a more roundabout way as if she is more curious as to why she was attacked

rather than her setting out to be a hapless gumshoe as in some books.

Well told from a different perspective , a crime tale but one to restore your faith

in human nature.

About Roger Bray




I have always loved writing; putting words onto a page and bringing characters to life.
I can almost feel myself becoming immersed into their lives, living with their fears and
triumphs. Thus, my writing process becomes an endless series of questions. What
would she or he do, how would they react, is this in keeping with their character?
Strange as it sounds, I don’t like leaving characters in cliffhanging situations without
giving them an ending, whichever way it develops. My life to date is what compels me to seek a just outcome, the good will overcome
and the bad will be punished. More though, I tend to see my characters as everyday
people in extraordinary circumstances, but in which we may all find our selves if the
planets align wrongly or for whatever reason you might consider. Of course, most novels are autobiographical in some way. You must draw on your
own experiences of life and from events you have experienced to get the inspiration.
My life has been an endless adventure. Serving in the Navy, fighting in wars, serving
as a Police officer and the experiences each one of those have brought have all drawn
me to this point, but it was a downside to my police service that was the catalyst for
my writing.Medically retired after being seriously injured while protecting a woman in
a domestic violence situation I then experienced the other side of life. Depression and
rejection. Giving truth to the oft said saying that when one door closes another opens
I pulled myself up and enrolled in college gaining bachelor and master degrees, for my
own development rather than any professional need. The process of learning, of getting
words down onto the page again relit my passion for writing in a way that I hadn’t felt
since high school. So here we are, two books published and another on track. Where it will take me I have no idea but I am going to enjoy getting there and if my
writing can bring some small pleasure into people’s lives along the way, then I consider
that I will have succeeded in life. Social Media Links – https://twitter.com/rogerbray22 https://www.facebook.com/rogerbraybooks/ https://rogerbraybooks.com/
