  ". . . a suspenseful thriller written in a style that reminded me a bit of Poe. Healey is quickly assembling an impressive collection of horror stories that hearken back to the days gone by of classic storytelling. He writes with the panache of an author beyond his years. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next."

  'tis the season . . . to die

  Clementine is young, beautiful. The wife of a rich businessman. And she wants her husband killed. It's meant to be a simple hit. But when it comes to murder, nothing is ever simple . . .

  DEAD PRETTY is the explosive debut of man-for-hire BRADY JONES, written by the author of the best-selling series FAR FROM HOME

  Praise for DEAD PRETTY

  "Tony Healey has no fear. He's not content to colour inside the lines, and writes compelling stories no matter which genre he selects. Tony is a brilliant Sci-Fi writer, but he can tackle any setting and still command your attention. This novella is the debut of Colby Jones, an anti-hero with traces of a conscience. I like Brady because despite his dealings on the other side of the law, it's not hard to find him relatable. His motives are not unlike an average person. His means to an end are in a grey moral area, but his goals are so earnest that you can't help but cheer him on. All of Tony's work is well-written and enjoyable to read, but this is a good primer for readers that don't like science-fiction. Once you get a feel for Tony's endearing style, you'll want to see how he applies it to other genres."

  "This is a damn good first attempt at hardboiled criminal fare. I really enjoyed it . . ."

  "Anti-hero Colby Jones is a fella that maybe you should steer well clear of, but you actually find yourself overlooking his 'misdemeanours.' He's your average man, which is why I think you can relate to him, but he's pretty ruthless too. When he takes a job, he sees it through, right to the very end. This was a great read and I really liked the author's writing style. I was pulled in from the first page and proceeded to fly through the book. It's a novella with a good storyline and with lots going on . . ."
