About F.R. Jameson

F.R. Jameson was born in Wales, but now lives in London with his wife and young daughter. He writes both historical thrillers and supernatural thrillers.

His books are, at the moment, mostly sorted into two different - but complementary - series. The first, 'Screen Siren Noir', currently comprises of three novels: 'Diana Christmas', 'Eden St. Michel' and 'Alice Rackham'. All of which tell the stories of beautiful British film stars caught up in Noir tales of blackmail, obsession, scandal and death. He is currently working on both the fourth and fifth books in the series.

The second series is more disturbing and scary, and lives under the moniker: 'Ghostly Shadows'. There are four novellas published: 'Death at the Seaside', 'Certain Danger', 'Won't You Come and Save Me, Oh Soldier' and 'Call of the Mandrake'. Each book is its own disturbing piece of brilliant British horror.

He is claustrophobic and has a grave aversion to olives, but in real life is probably not as dark and twisted as his fiction would lead you to believe.

His blog - https://frjameson.com/ - is regularly updated with information about his writing, as well as film and book reviews. You can follow him @frjameson on Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest, and you can find him on Facebook.

EXTRACT FROM AN INTERVIEW WITH F.R. JAMESON:

What inspired you to write Eden St. Michel?
I was fresh from writing ‘Diana Christmas’ and I wanted to write something in the same world, the same universe as it were. So I created these two characters – Eden and Joe – and started to write their noir story. I realised that they were too good together. There was a plot I had worked out in my mind, but it wasn’t going to work with the characters as they now appeared on the page, I couldn’t force them into it, and so I changed the plot. I reworked the plot around them. And as a result I didn’t write the book I meant to write, I wrote something so much better.

You mentioned ‘Diana Christmas’, this is a stand-alone novel though, isn’t it?
Very much so. But those who read every book will spot the connections between them. This is a shared universe and so certain characters reappear and certain locations are revisited. Each novel stands entirely on its own merits, but dedicated fans will see that they also come together to create a big ‘Screen Siren Noir’ tapestry!

How does it differ from what you’ve written before?
Well, this is more of a love story than anything I’ve ever written before. Okay, it’s a love story which has a man’s dead body on the front cover, so fairly clearly it’s not going to be all wine and roses. But nor are they two characters just obeying a plot. I think Romantic Suspense is what I’ve actually ended up with. These are two characters though who love each other, but when they love each other bad things tend to happen. And so the question is, can these two make it through their love affair unscathed?

by F.R. Jameson

( 31 )

$2.99

What are those voices in her head? And why are they screaming at her?

It all started when she witnessed a car crash. A brutal smash which left a gorgeous young rock star dead. A devastating incident for Alice, but one which caused strange memories of childhood to flood back. Suddenly she could recall a sinister old house, a dead child in the woods and an other-worldly power lurking in the darkness.

An orphan who can barely remember her own mother, Alice grew up in care homes. The gothic mansion now in her mind surely wasn’t part of her existence. Nor does she recognise the little boy with the scuffed knees who stares at her with dark accusing eyes. Yet now she can’t stop picturing either.

Desperate to make sense of it all, Alice’s enquiries lead her to a hidden away clinic in the English countryside. However, within those walls are terrifying secrets which could upturn her whole life.

Secrets so much bigger than one woman.

As for Alice, her long buried truth could not only break apart her sanity, it might destroy the whole world…
