 ONE CALL CAN CHANGE YOUR PAST. 
 AND F***-UP EVERYONE’S FUTURE . . . 
 
 Bob Bloomfield is not a nice man. 
 It’s kind of his brand. 
 The reason his celebrity clients pay him the big bucks. 
 And definitely not some messed up way of dealing with a terrible childhood tragedy 
 
 But then he finds a freaky ‘80s mobile phone. 
 One that can dial up the past. 
 And give him a chance to put things right. 
 Only Bob has forgotten one key detail: 
 he’s the last person you’d bank on doing the right thing …

Steve Jones' first job was in a petrol station. It was also the first job he was fired from for putting diesel in Dai-The-Milk's petrol truck. 
From there he gained employment in a printing factory before setting off for distant shores to "find himself". He subsequently found a mediocre career in modelling which thankfully segued into a fairly successful twenty-year (to date) career in TV presenting. His cherished accomplishments: he was crowned Welsh Rear of the Year in 2002. His suitcase has come out first at the airport on no less than two occasions, and now, he has written two novels, Call Time and Terminally Kill. Which he very much hopes you will enjoy.

Bob Bloomfield's whole life changed when his little brother Tom was tragically killed in an accident. 
 
Now a ruthless corporate partner at Fitz-Simmons & Bloomfield Entertainment Management, with a "materially rich, spiritually empty" existence, Bob has done enough living for two. 
 
But then the impossible happens. 
 
A seemingly ordinary phone allows Bob to connect to the past ... and speak with his twelve-year-old self. And his calls back through time are creating real changes in the present. 
 
Which leaves Bob with two questions: 
 
Can he prevent his brother's death? 
 
And will he like the world he's created if he does?

Sensational. I loved it. An absolute thrill ride

Spectacular. Terminally Kill reads like Richard Osman with more blood. A tale of morality, mortality and what happens when a life takes you beyond breaking point'

Former policeman Ray ‘Sugar’ Leonard is no stranger to bad breaks. But even Walter White never had to "share his feelings" with a bunch of misfits like Ray’s chemotherapy group: a giant Welsh bouncer, a Wolf of Wall Street wannabe, and a potty-mouthed little old lady. 
Compared to that lot, getting mugged almost came as a relief. 
 
But Ray is not your average victim. When his training kicks in, and his would-be attacker winds up dead, he starts to wonder who else he could deal out such summary justice to . . . 
 
After all, he’s got cancer. What’s he got to lose?
