Goals and Stuart West's New Release!

We're having quite the discussion of goals over at the Lightning Quick Reads blog. Be sure to stop by and weigh in on one (or all) of the threads. [Time to Talk Goals,  Why Make Goals?,  Setting Up Goals for Success]

And now, a new book from Stuart West!

Releasing February 3rd in ebook and print, The Secret Society of Like-Minded Individuals is the first in a trilogy. A dark cat and mouse suspense thriller with an unhealthy stream of humor coursing through its pages. Serial killers have never been so fun!

BLURB:

Leon Garber has his reasons for ridding the world of abusive people, call it justifiable homicide.

Opportunity comes knocking from Like-Minded Individuals, Inc., a global company fulfilling the needs of people like Leon. LMI’s clientele are provided with new identities, security, and even lists of potential “projects.” But let’s not call it “serial killing.” Such a nasty business. For Leon, it’s a dream come true.

However, LMI’s put a target on Leon’s back. He has no idea why.

LMI, the police, sanctioned hitmen, and a vicious psychopath are after him. He collides with other Like-Minded Individuals: The Good Samaritan Killer, The Mad Doctor, Donnie and Marie (don’t ask). Heads are chopped, dropped and swapped as Leon fights for his life. But nothing will keep Leon from finishing his current project. Nothing. Not even the chance to fall in love with the woman of his dreams.

Sometimes a killer business idea is just that. Killer.

What's being said about Stuart West's new release?

The Secret Society of Like-Minded Individuals is a brilliant thriller about a society of serial killers with just a dusting of humor. Suspense fans will not be disappointed.The hero, can I call Leon a hero? Hmmm? Well, he has quirks. Rather comical quirks.


I am not a fan of horror, never touch the stuff. This plot does not cross the line.
Every so often I found myself smiling.
Even a touch of romance thrown in.
In my humble opinion, it's Stuart's best work yet.
I'm looking forward to book 2 in the series.

Preorder a new book from one of my fave writers @StuartRWest Not for the feint of heart. Intriguing?~Joan Curtis, author of The Clock Strikes Midnight


The Secret Society of Like-Minded Individuals is not your usual "thriller, murder mystery." It is a unique plot with unexpected murderers and, of course, the underlying West humor, A roller coaster ride to the end. Trust me, you've never read anything like it before.
