This video shows a short trailer for Joanna's first exciting novel, The Unravelling!

Jade Thyme celebrates successfully defending Jules Cranbury on a murder charge. Her celebration is short-lived when she finds Jules murdered. Jade investigates and uncovers a secret justice society whose members hide behind white tabs and black robes while delivering their own vigilante justice.

Jade locates a once prominent and respected lawyer, now known as Noxzema Man, homeless and panhandling in Fan Tan Alley. He warns Jade. Judges, lawyers and police make up the Society. Trust no one.

The MotoCityDolls, her sister's all-female motorcycle gang, save Jade from a Society assassin. Forced to take a leave of absence, Jade packs up her office, but not before coming face-to-face with another assassin - Jules's murderer.

So who are Blue Devil Books?

We are enthusiastic readers of crime novels who believe that the lesser-known writers are being ignored by the established agents and publishers.

We aim to provide a new approach by showcasing the best of the lesser-known crime writers. Any experienced but as yet unknown crime writer may request to be included on the Blue Devil Books website.

The conditions for inclusion are as follows:

There will be no cost to the writer, our service is provided free-of-charge.
Blue Devil Books aim is simply to provide a showcase for the latest book written by those writers selected.
If a writer is accepted then the details of their latest book will be added to the website together with details of the writer.
Writers wishing to be added to the website must submit a synopsis of the book and details of themselves, giving experience and any other books already published.
If the book to be included has already been published then it must have been written within the last twelve months.
The writer may then be asked to supply the first 3 chapters of the book.
If accepted the details of the book and its author will be added to the website, including where to purchase if already published.
All efforts will be made to display details of the website in as many places as possible (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.). The website will also be submitted to all popular search engines.
Any writers included on the website may include the Blue Devil Books logo and website address in their own publicity material.
