McDroll "Kick It"

[Giovanni Gelati]

I think the title should have just been “Kick A$%”. This grouping of flash fiction is in your face and fast paced. There is a very good reason why this title has been charting on Amazon Kindle UK literally within hours of its release, it is that good. The characters are rich, the prose is just to the point, punch you in the gut tight, and the speed at which McDroll delivers the action is blinding. I for one am a fan and a reader won over, no questions asked.

Here is the synopsis and author bio:

“  Kick It is a collection of five short stories. Three of the stories feature Gemma Dixon, a young CID officer starting at the very bottom of the career ladder, thrust into a world of violence and hardened criminals. Her colleagues may disregard her abilities but Gemma is made of strong stuff and quickly shows that she’s not a woman to be messed with.

Drowning & Number 74 present two very different characters who each in their own way have to deal with the hand that fate has dealt them, while they journey towards vital decisions that will change their lives forever.”

McDroll writes crime fiction with a strong hint of noir and a pinch of humour.

Her stories have appeared in Shotgun Honey and the Flash Fiction Offensive. She has stories appearing soon in Brit Grit 2, Off the Record and the charity anthology The Lost Children.
