Book Review - Beatrice Beecham's Fearsome Feast

Post by davejeffery »

Hello everyone

Growing up reading the Famous Five and Secret Seven mysteries has made me want to write my own adventure book ever since I was six years of age. It's taken a long time but now I've grown up I've finally been able to do it. I've published an mystery/adventure story and would like to ask if anyone would have a read of it and tell me if you like it or not.

If you are interested then let me know and I'll send you a PDF version, free of charge.

many thanks.

Dave Jeffery.

Hi there Susie..thanks for your response.

The age range is 10-14, but many (including editors) have said that it will appeal to adults who enjoyed traditional children's adventure stories. This is good for me because my influences were the stories I read as a child!Namely: Famous Five, Secret Seven, The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew.
Are you happy for me to send you a PDF? Feel free to distribute.

Many thanks

This book does look rather good.I've just downloaded a kindle sample:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Beatrice-Beech ... 433&sr=1-1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
12 year old Beatrice Beecham loves cookery. While her friends are blinded by bling and boys Beatrice scans her ever increasing volumes of Belchette's Encyclopaedia Gastronomica for a recipe to challenge her awesome culinary talents.

But Beatrice's world is about to change. Fate will steer her family to the remote coastal town of Dorsal Finn. Yet like the ocean that washes into the bay, darkness lurks beneath the surface of this sleepy town. It is a place of secrets. Secrets that some may want found, but most prefer to keep hidden. When Aunt Maud gives her an old cook book as a welcome gift, Beatrice finds something surprising within its pages: a cry of help from the past. And a terrible portent for the present.
