Guest Post by Nigel May

Nigel May’s gritty and glamorous new novel, Deadly Obsession, sees some explosive, sexy, murderous action taking placing at The Kitty Kat nightclub. To celebrate its launch, Nigel filled us in on the top 10 tunes that are guaranteed to see him hot-footing it to the nearest dance floor.

 

My Top 10 Dance Floor Fillers

1. DEAD OR ALIVE
   You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)
   An awesome tune that reminds me of being a teenager and listening to the Top 40 charts on the radio every week to see if your favourite song has reached No.1. When this did I was so pleased as I’d already bought about three different versions of it!
2. BEE GEES
   Tragedy
   This seems kind of apt given what happens at The Kitty Kat nightclub in Deadly Obsession! Poor Amy, for her that night is a real tragedy! I love 70s disco and nobody did it better than the Bee Gees. Such a great tune, although trying to sing it gives me a sore throat as the pitch is so high. It’s how they wore those tight trousers!
3. ABBA
   Dancing Queen
   The best band ever! Nobody tops Abba for poppy joy and Dancing Queen is a song that will live on forever. Laura and Amy in the book are the ultimate dancing queens, they love to throw a move or two.
4. DAVID GUETTA AND KELLY ROWLAND
   When Love Takes Over
   Happy summer vibes. Makes you want to go to the nearest beach, throw off your flip flops and feel the sand between your toes while sipping on a huge fruit-covered cocktail.
5. KIM WILDE
   You Came
   Another blast of 80s pop that I adore. Kim Wilde is such a great singer and she’s kind of been the soundtrack to my life. I have loved her ever since Kids In America back in the early 80s.
6. DIANA ROSS AND THE SUPREMES
   The Happening
   Great Motown songs will always see me on the dance floor and even though Diana Ross and The Supremes have sung many awesome toe-tapping songs this will always be my favourite as it’s so upbeat and jolly.
7. MARK RONSON
   Uptown Funk
   A modern classic. A huge slab of bass beat and a corking set of vocals. Is there anyone on earth who doesn’t like dancing to this?
8. WHAM!
   Club Tropicana
   Another sunshine-dipped sound of summer. Chilled out on holiday around a swimming pool with this on the radio and a good book in my hand…bliss!
9. CHER
   Believe
   A brilliant dance tune with those wobbly electric vocals that always seem fun to sing along with when you’ve had a drink or two. Every karaoke night out should include a bit of Cher.
10. SIA
    Chandelier
    Wonderful vocals, a fabulous video and a song that I have to turn up full blast on the CD player in my car to try and sing along. Luckily Sia’s brilliant voice drowns out the nightmare that is my own! I gave it a mention in Deadly Obsession as it is one of the best tunes from the last few years. I adore it.

What would you do if you saw your husband killed right in front of you … identified his body … had him cremated … then six months later received a letter written by him two days ago?

Amy Barrowman grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. So when she falls in love with millionaire Riley Hart and he asks her to marry him she can’t believe her luck. She has found true love and her happy ever after.

Riley Hart is a Millionaire Man about Town. Men want to be him and women want to bed him. But to achieve Riley’s status, you have to tread on a lot of toes and make a lot of enemies.

When Riley is gunned down at the nightclub they own, Amy is determined to avenge his death. She receives a mysterious letter detailing a list of suspects including Riley’s sworn enemy, actor Grant Wilson. But with an obsessive passion brewing between her and Grant and a dangerous assassin trailing her every move it would seem Amy has opened a deadly and tempting Pandora’s Box. In settling the score for her husband has Amy put herself into terrible danger?

Book Launch – ‘Addicted’ by Nigel May

Nigel May, author of the fantastic ‘Trinity’ which I reviewed last year has just published his brand new book, ‘Addicted’.

Synopsis

Getting clean is a dirty business

The wine heiress, the faded entertainer, the operatic diva, the politician’s wife – four women who can’t say no….

Four women who should be happy with what life has given them. Success, beauty, money and fame. But never judge a book by its cover, because on the outside they may all seem to be completely in control of their lives, but under their fashionable facades, deep within their souls, they are all battling with a common demon…they are all addicted. Addicted to things that could ruin their very existence. In fact for one, it will snuff it out for good.

Four women…one death, one killer…

‘Trinity’ by Nigel May

Nigel May asked me if I would like to review his book.  ‘Trinity’ is his debut novel and it is a right sizzler.

Regan Phoenix, Anoushka Silvers and Evie Merchant are the very best of friends.  They call themselves the Trinity and are certain that they will always stick together and that nothing will spoil their friendship no matter what life throws at them.

Regan’s mother Montana is a rich and famous actress who has never cared much about her daughter, preferring instead to put her career and men first.  As a result Regan has become something of a wild child, drinking and sleeping around.  Anoushka or Nush as she is called is a gossip columnist for her father’s newspaper.  She knows that her dad doesn’t really want her.  Evie has always dreamt of being a famous actress and she manages to achieve her dream, even though she has a lot of heartache along the way.

In the world of glitz and glamour things are about to change big time for the three friends and certain events will test their friendship.

I wasn’t really sure if I would like this novel, but I actually loved it.  The writing style was great and there was a lot more to the story than I thought there would be.  Quite a few of the chapters ended at really interesting points which left me totally intrigued.  I wanted to know what was going to happen to each of the three main characters straightaway.

Full of twists and turns this story has it all; scandal, stalkers, blackmail, money and lots of sex.  It’s a thrill a minute and is guaranteed to give the reader hours of pure pleasure and entertainment.  I can’t wait to read Nigel May’s next book.

I give this book 5 out of 5.
