Malicious by James Raven
BOOK DESCRIPTION
He calls himself the Slave Master. He spies on women through their computer webcams. Then he blackmails those who unknowingly reveal their secrets to him. His last victim was brutally murdered. Now he’s targeting the cop in charge of the investigation. To him she’s the perfect prey – because she has secrets of her own.Praise for MALICIOUS:
‘This is a chilling story, superbly written, with captivating and unique characters. The pace is vigorous with twists and turns, storyline is potent, candid, and engaging. An awesome, captivating novel which I highly recommend,’ Nancy Silk Reviews blog.
Malicious is a wonderful, fast-paced work of fiction. The plot is timely and the details add to the authenticity.' Bestsellersworld Review.
‘If this thriller does not give you the willies and make you want to never turn on your computer again, nothing will. James Raven has expertly woven a twisted tale that comes a little too close to reality. I was overjoyed that my laptop doesn’t have a webcam. Suspenseful, heart-pounding and all too real; Malicious will have you putting tape over your webcam or getting rid of it altogether. Superb!‘ Readers’ Favorite Review.
‘I read from cover to cover in one day. I love crime stories. The story allows u to connect to the main character Robyn Tate. Her exhausted state of mind and her low self-esteem issues have made us feel "this could be me". Then the story opens and her world becomes a desperate journey to protect her secrets from the world. I felt for her every chapter I passed and wanted her to prevail. This is a great read,’ Goodreads Review.
‘Raven's fast paced storytelling replete with superb tension and suspense immediately seduces you. His protagonist, Robyn Tate is a memorable character with her dark secret, yet all the more attractive for being flawed. As an added bonus, not only is Malicious a slick thriller but a novel that investigates the troubling issue of computer crimes that after its reading will force you to re-examine your own situation. What would you do if you found out that someone was spying on you through your webcam? Beware. It is possible,’ Bookpleasures Review
Check out the video trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btPmqY2NOV4
Reaction to James Raven's other novels:
‘This is one of the best books I’ve ever read, and I've read a lot! It constantly leaves you in heart grabbing suspense,’ Goodreads Review.
‘Just reading the blurb made me want to find out how Raven pulled off this extraordinary tale…you won’t be disappointed,’ Books Monthly.
‘This is a great book. It gave me nightmares, but I couldn’t put it down,’ Listed Magazine.

INTERVIEW: Toby Neal
The Flurries Unlimited team caught up with crime fiction author Toby Neal for a quick chat about her work and writing. This is what we discussed:
FU: There are so many different genres to choose from, what inspired you to write crime fiction?
TN: It was kind of accidental! As a therapist, I was involved with emergency counseling for a high school where two young girls were drowned, the crime in my first book, Blood Orchids...and I wanted to solve what happened to them. One thing led to another, and next thing I knew, I was writing "police procedural" mysteries! But it turns out, there's a part of me that really wants justice and answers for victims.
FU: Having a background in social work must have given you a unique perspective on life. What made you decide to leave it? In what ways do you think this affects your writing?
TN: I still have a small private practice and do counseling/therapy one day a week. I never expected my books to sell like hotcakes and become my replacement career! I put twelve years into all my degrees and licenses. I'll never give it up. I love helping people.
FU: You've written so many books. Which is your favourite and why?
TN: My favorite is Unsound, a literary suspense about a psychologist who goes on a hike...and is taken captive by the client from hell. Its my favorite because the protagonist, Dr. Wilson, is kind of my "alter ego" in my series, and this is her book and written in a very personal style that's unique.
FU: They say that every character has some of the author in him/her. Which of your characters is most like you? In what way?
TN: As I said, Dr. Wilson is most like me probably. She's my age, and race, and does what I do in "real life." But I have a lot of Lei in me too--I'm physically brave, persistent, and terribly curious, and I love dogs and justice like she does. I also exercise to manage anxiety, and am married to a man who looks a good deal like Lei's love interest, Michael Stevens (they say write what you know, and I have an awesome husband.) But I'm not damaged or neurotic like she is. At least I don't think I am, ha ha!
FU: So what is on the horizon? What are your new projects? When is your next new release?
TN: My newest release, coming at the end of this month, is Wired In, with Sophie Ang, an MMA-fighting tech specialist that appears in Book 4 of the Lei Crime Series, on Jan 30. This is a long-awaited book with a plot twistier than a bag of snakes!
FU: Sounds great! Thank you for chatting with us.
