JASMINE CLOSE
by Linda Dunscombe
Jasmine Close is a soap opera to enjoy on your Kindle or eReader. Follow the lives and dramas of the residents of a brand new housing estate in episodes that take around twenty-five minutes to read. Perfect for your lunch break, short commute, or just to curl up with on the sofa or read in bed.
Victoria works in the show-home and she likes to know what’s going on. She’s nosy, bossy, and caring, with a husband who keeps going AWOL and a teenage daughter she’s struggling to connect with.
Jenny is suffering from post-traumatic stress and the move to the new house in the new city will, according to her husband, Miles, make everything better.
Barry is the building site Foreman who is working to a schedule that keeps being interrupted by the half-naked ladies in apartment two who keep diverting his men away from their work.
Steve severed his spine in a car accident and, fresh from the Spinal Injuries rehab unit, he’s trying to find his place in a world that is now much scarier in a wheelchair than it was when he could walk.
Sonia has a perfect family and a secret life while Belle just wants to keep her children safe and Natasha and Ed are adjusting to life with a new baby who cries all the time.
The American, Brett Anderson, is on a brief visit to see his sister, but he might have found a reason to make him stick around for a while longer.

‘I HAD NEVER KILLED ANYONE BEFORE’
Matt fights crime, but his real enemy is himself.
His marriage is in tatters, his best friend is a bottle of whisky and a killer is in his town.
Murders are making the headlines. Is it drugs, or a serial killer? Or is it something worse? Much worse. Matt knows the victims; he knows what links them all together.
Matt is forced to face the past head on. Does it always have to be accounted for? He is beginning to believe that it does and, if he doesn’t find the killer soon, then the killer will be finding him.
I also helped my brother, Peter Swann, write The Lost Engine, Renovation of a 1933 Fire Engine, which tells the story of how Peter found what he thought to be a rusty old lorry and restored it to its original state as a beautiful 1933 Fire Engine,
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I wrote Jasmine Close because i felt that there was a market for a series that could be read in short bites in a lunch break or journey to work. It is written in the same style as a TV soap with continuing story lines and characters. Each episode takes around 20-25 mins to read.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t think so, although I like to get a first draft down as quickly as possible. I work to the mantra – don’t get it right, get it written. Once the first draft is completed the new mantra becomes – writing is re-writing.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Lee Child, Phillipa Gregory, Evelyn Anthony
What are you working on now?
I have just started writing a fantasy trilogy
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write, write and then write some more
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t get it right, get it written
What are you reading now?
Just finished Blue Moon – the latest Lee Child thriller
What’s next for you as a writer?
Looking forward to getting the first book in the new trilogy finished
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
