Man of Ruin: Episode One (Extra Special Pre-Release Edition)
Page 11
Once they saw me the cars came to a screeching halt and the officers got out, approaching me with caution. I could see one or two of them had guns, though thank God they weren’t pointing them at me.
“David Smith?” one of them called to me, a bloke in a brown suit with floppy hair and sideburns. A detective or something, I guessed.
“Yes that’s me,” I said.
“You’re under arrest for murder and seven counts of vandalism.”
Oh bloody hell fire, that silly tramp had only gone and died.
Another note from the author
Dear reader, thank you very much for choosing to read Man of Ruin: Episode One, and even more for getting to the end. I do hope you enjoyed it. It was certainly great fun for me to write.
I realise I left you hanging there a bit. Dave getting arrested and everything, that’s not quite the end obviously. The thing is, I wanted to share an ‘Extra Special Sneak Preview Excerpt’ of the book before it is officially released to the world, and that seemed like the obvious moment to pause. The best is definitely yet to come with this story. Well, I use the word “best” loosely. It certainly all takes a big turn from there on in. It’s all change, shall we say.
If you are desperate to read to the end of Man of Ruin, fret not, the entire and final edition of the book will be released very soon, in a matter of weeks. Moreover, since by virtue of downloading this book you are now on my email newsletter list, you will be among the first to know and will have the opportunity to purchase at a very reasonable discount price. After that, if you want to read the rest of the Junk Food Trilogy (yes I said trilogy, I have written three whole books of this stuff), they will also be released just a few short weeks after that.
Say for the sake of argument that you wanted to read more from me in the meantime. Well, I do have one book out at the moment, a collection of four short stories called The Unbelievable Death of Joseph Goldberg. It’s completely unrelated to what you just read, but with a dark comic tone running through it none the less. Well, for the most part anyway. So it’s possible you might like it. A few people have so far, but who knows eh? Since you’ve been nice enough to show interest in my work and join up to my newsletter email list, I am happy to give this one to you free:

Enough waffle from me. Happy reading and have a great day!
