The Peculiar Case of the Missing Mondrian by K.J.Heritage Pdf

Imagine if your life was spent at the mercy of coincidence… A missing multi-million-pound painting, an insistent ex who won’t take no for an answer, and a ruthless media Baron who always gets his way. What could possibly go right? Serial life avoider and semi-professional layabout, Jim Riven, is not particularly good at anything, unless lying in bed all day, ignoring his front door and his phone, and then going down the pub every evening, could be described as a life skill. But Jim Riven did have one particular talent—or what he referred to as ‘his curse’—that involved unnecessary and unwanted coincidences, or ‘not so serendipitous happenchances’ as he also liked to call them. Happenchances that had dogged his life ever since he could remember. When Jim Riven’s ex-girlfriend, a rather spoilt society girl and daughter of all round international media rogue, Roo Osbourne, turns up unexpectedly one morning to elicit his help in finding a stolen painting by the grandfather of modern art, Piet Mondrian, Jim Riven’s life is turned upside down. And, for Jim Riven, upside down was not the right way up at all. And so started a series of the most startling coincidences, placing him at the centre of a fascinating and complex mystery.

The Lady In The Glass by K. J. Heritage Pdf

12 tales of death and dying from bestselling UK author, K.J.Heritage "At first, when the waters showed me the Lady, I thought she was a sister of The Jesus, for she smiled at me. But when I gave her another looksee, I knew she was also Devil, for she comes from the Blackash and was broken. Her flesh is white, stuck inside twisted glass that bends and curls--one arm reachin' out to me, the other at her side, her fingers clenched in an angry fist. And if I look into her black eyes?

Tea, Cake & MURDER! by K.J. Heritage Pdf

A very British cosy mystery A hunted witch hiding in an Agatha Christie-esque novel, a series of eccentric characters, a host of clues and red-herrings, and… MURDER! A talented spell-weaving witch on the run is forced to find magical refuge in a mystery novel, playing the role of Emily Crookshanks, amateur sleuth and professional flirt. Waking up with no idea who or where she is, Emily finds herself in the quaint 1920s English countryside village of Little Pucklewick, uncomfortably sharing tea and cakes with the not so Reverend Wilson-Smallsey, the village’s rather pompous womanising vicar. After a series of shocking murders, Emily hooks up with the village doctor, a rather dashing ex-RAF fighter pilot known to his chums as ‘Ceddars’. Working together, they uncover clues and interrogate suspects. Add an inept inspector, various pompous ladies from the regular vicarage get-togethers, a dashing explorer recently returned from the Orient, his very attractive career-minded secretary, and a whole host of motives and clues, including a series of nasty accusatory posters, and Emily finds herself in the middle of a most confusing and frustrating mystery. But more than the murders, Emily suffers from terrifying visions of attack and desperate escape. And just what are wands and spell-weavery, and the smartphones and hi-def televisions she occasionally glimpses in her mind? Despite everything, Emily knows that to survive, she must solve the mystery and, to do that, she must keep going to The End.

All About Character Flaws: Making your characters miserable & rewarding your readers forever! by K.J. Heritage Pdf

Crafting the Perfect Character Flaw in 10 easy steps With the ten simple steps outlined in this guide, you can craft a series of effective and memorable character flaws that will captivate your audience. Why do you need a book about character flaws? Let’s face it… Nobody’s perfect! And if you’re trying to write a realistic, believable story, your characters shouldn’t be either. That’s why you need a book about writing characters with flaws. Why? Because nobody wants to read about a protagonist who always does the right thing, says the right thing, and never makes any mistakes. Instead, give your readers some complexity, some contradictions, and some depth. Maybe your protagonist has a quick temper, a tendency to be selfish, or is too meek for their own good. These flaws make all your characters human, relatable, and interesting. And if you need help figuring out how to make your characters flawed in a compelling way, you’ve come to the right place. All About Character Flaws: Making your characters miserable & rewarding your readers forever! will give you lists and descriptions of major, minor, common and fatal character flaws, including a comprehensive breakdown of both physical and mental impairments to hit your characters where it hurts. And show you how to use them in the best ways possible. It is a one stop shop to creating multi-layered, believable characters.
