After a self-imposed six year delay (to let the hype die down from that other ‘da Vinci’ book), Simon Buck’s next Peter White mystery has arrived. Originally planned to be the first Peter White mystery, it was rescheduled to appear after Library of the Soul as a prequel. Since then, various other events have conspired to delay it even further. Right up to the last minute, as the publication date of 9th November was missed when the first print run wasn’t delivered until Friday the 13th - which we’ve decided should not be taken as an omen! However, that’s all irrelevant now as it’s here for us to read (well, actually I’ve already read it, that’s the advantage of being the publisher).
In this book we get to learn more about Peter White, accompany him and his friend Al on some interesting travels and eavesdrop on their conversations over delicious meals. On the way through this modern day mystery we learn about an old scandal, uncover a hidden renaissance wonder and meet some curious characters (and a couple of unsavoury ones too).

The book trailer for Abiding Evil is now featured on BookTube as well as in the trailers page here on the blog (click Books then Trailers). It’s also on Alison’s YouTube page. From the BookTube page you can even get the code to embed it on your website or blog too (and give Alison’s book some free publicity!)
The more observant among you may also have noticed some online ads running on various sites and a half page advert in the latest issue (158) of SFX magazine. Actually, of course, we hope that lots of people do notice the ads however observant they are (or else the ads aren’t working!)
Well, despite last minute delays in her final proofreading (see her previous post) Alison’s new horror chiller, Abiding Evil, is now available. If you’ve already pre-ordered a copy it should be arriving any day now. If not, why not? Go and order your copy right away 
In fact buy one for a friend while you’re at it.
The press release says Abiding Evil is “A chilling tale for hot summer days…” so now would be a good time to read it while we’re still having this lovely weather, before summer is all over (about a week’s time!).
Hectic times here at Alnpete Towers. Our latest title Abiding Evil will be available soon and this will be the first one for which we’ve had any sort of significant media campaign. So we’re currently rushing around preparing for the delivery of our stock at the same time as finalising ads and creating web banners and other cool stuff.
Abiding Evil is a tale of the evil that lurks in the depths of an ancient forest, so we’re going to be promoting it in horror magazines and on horror websites. Hopefully there will be some good reviews appearing too. Watch out for it. Or better yet, you will be able to pre-order it from our own online shop any day now (once we have a firm delivery date)!
This is Scribbling and scribing and you’re welcome to it!
Err. I don’t think that’s quite what I meant to say. Anyway, the intention is for this blog to provide a forum for Alnpete Press editors and authors to communicate with our readers. You, dear reader, can contribute too by adding comments and getting involved in interesting and entertaining discussions.
