As you may have heard, I put this, my latest novel, The Ghouls of Calle Goya, in for a ‘competition’ at KindleScout. It did not ‘win’, or to be strictly correct, it was not selected for publication and special promotion.

Still, not to worry, I have another novel Daisy’s Chain, waiting in the wings – it just needs editing. So, look out for that in a few weeks’ time 🙂

In the meantime, if you would like to read The Ghouls of Calle Goya, it is available on Amazon (all sites), but here are the most common details:

ISBN: 978-1542433747

ASIN: B01MS5C7IC

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MS5C7IC

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MS5C7IC

Despite not being selected, I am glad that I entered The Ghouls of Calle Goya into the KindleScout process, and I urge other as yet unpublished authors to give it a go. I will be putting all my future novels through the competition, despite the fact that they lose a month in sales’ time.

I found that the things I learned from the process more than made up for a month’s sales. For example, I talked to most of my 700-odd Facebook friends over that month. I had never spoken to some of them, and others I had not contacted for years. it was a very enjoyable experience.

I also had generous offers of help from quite a few people, and others assured me that they would buy my book on its day of publication in order to give it a boost into Amazon’s popularity charts, which also gives the novel extra momentum of its own, since many readers choose from the top fifty novels, if they are stuck for something to read.

Success breeds success, as the saying goes.

Anyway, thanks to all those who nominated The Ghouls of Calle Goya for selection, especially for you, I have reduced the price of the novel from $4.99 to $2.99 for the next seven days. Others may also take advantage of this price reduction.

The novel opens on the shores of Lake Mjørsa, Norway; moves to London, and then Fuengirola, Spain. From there it travels to Bangkok and Phitsanulok in Thailand, before returning to London, Norway and England again. Cardiff gets a mention too 🙂

A special ‘Thank You’ to Aliya for the cover artwork too. If you would like her to draw something for you, just let me know.

Owen Jones, Amazon Best-Selling Author from Barry, Wales, has lived in several countries and travelled in many more. While studying Russian in the USSR in the '70's, he hobnobbed with spies on a regular basis; in Suriname, he got caught up in the 1982 coup; and while a company director, he joined the crew of four as the galley slave to sail from Barry to Gibraltar a home-made concrete yacht, which was almost rammed by a Russian oil tanker and an American aircraft carrier.
“I am a Celt, and we are romantic”, he said when asked about his writing style, “and I firmly believe in reincarnation, Karma and Fate, so, sayings like 'Do unto another...', and 'What goes round comes around' are central to my life and reflected in my work. I write about what I see, or think I see, or dream... and, in the end it is all the same really”. He speaks seven languages and is learning Thai, since he lives in Thailand with his Thai wife of fifteen years.
His first novel, Daddy's Hobby is from the seven-part series 'Behind The Smile: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya', but his largest collection is 'The Megan Series', twenty-three novelettes on the psychic development of a teenage girl, the subtitle of which, 'A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Scary Mother!' sums them up nicely. He has written fifty novels and novelettes, including: Dead Centre; Andropov's Cuckoo; Fate Twister; The Disallowed (a philosophical comedy); Tiger Lily of Bangkok; and A Night in Annwn (Annwn being the ancient Welsh word for Heaven). Many have been translated into foreign languages and narrated into audio books.
Owen Jones writes stories set in Wales, Spain and Thailand, where he now lives. He is a life-long Spiritualist, and this belief is interwoven, in a very realistic way, into many of his books and storylines. If you like a touch of the 'supernatural', try his books
He sums his life up thus: “Born in the Land of Song, Living in the Land of Smiles”.
