From Book to Movie

And ACTION!


Well hello, it's been a long time, five months in fact. So here I am, around ten thirty at night in the UK and I thought it was about time I ventured onto my blog and write something, anything about my life, writing, books, oh and films.

I'm currently writing my first fiction book. I've written about thirteen thousands words, which is not a great amount I know, but I'm writing a three or four book series, each of which will contain around twenty thousand words. So, three or four short stories about an author, actually, a struggling author who commits murders. I'll not be saying anything else, as I feel I have given away far too much already, but this project I am very excited about.

Talking, or writing of projects, I do have further exciting news to announce, which some of you may  have heard about already. Have you read the #1 BESTSELLER a true story called, Wrong Place Wrong Time? No, why not? Just kidding, anyway, last week I signed contracts with a film production company, who will be turning Wrong Place Wrong Time into a film. Yes, a movie of one of my books. As I am writing this, I still can't take it all in. You could say it hasn't sunk in yet, and you would be right.

Of course it's very early stages in the planning, but even to think that my book could be seen on the big screen is so exciting. I will have full access to the production, scriptwriters, casting, on location etc., so the full experience of being on a movie set, which is something that I've always wanted to do.

But this movie set will be of my making. 

Anyway, that's a wrap.

I will keep you updated on any further news about my books and the forthcoming MOVIE.

....and cut!

Having achieved a #1 BESTSELLING Kindle book with WRONG PLACE WRONG TIME in many categories around the world on Amazon, I’ve been asked by many authors about how I managed to reach those heady heights with my first self-published book.
I used to reply to these requests with emails, giving pointers as to how I promoted and marketed the book on my social media platforms. Then one night, it occurred to me, why don't I write a book on how, with my constant marketing and constant exposure, the book that is now published by a traditional publisher, became a BESTSELLER.
Even as I write this, WRONG PLACE WRONG TIME is the #1 BESTSELLER in White Collar Crime in the UK and was recently #1 in Drama in Australia, with J K Rowling at #2.
Within these 5 books, I will show you how a novice writer, me:
Wrote a BESTSELLER
Increased my Twitter followers to over 40,000
Achieved a post on LinkedIn that had over 70,000 views and 35,000 comments
How to use what is TRENDING ON TWITTER to promote your book/s
Why visiting the LONDON BOOK FAIR changed my writing life
How I succeeded in securing a traditional publishing contract
How to place a book on Amazon

How I have met so many wonderful authors along the way!

#OHAmazon!

STOP READING!!!!!!!!

To anyone who pre-ordered #24HoursInNewYork
Due to Amazon's system crashing, there's a very strong possibility you have received the unedited version, from when it was on pre-order!
If you have already started reading this book you will have found a number of errors, therefore, I'm expecting some bad reviews in the coming week.
I've contacted Amazon and asked them to send the correct edited version to you.
Sorry about this.......Hopefully this will only take 24 hours!

Yes, that day has come!


Yes, that day has come, well for me anyway, but on Saturday, the 10th June 2017 to be precise...is the release of my new book, #24HoursInNewYork, which, if you wish, you, the reader, can pre-order now.......here, over here:  #24HoursInNewYork
#24HoursInNewYork is #11 in my writing catalogue and #3 in my selection of True Stories, so it begs the question, have you read the other two? The BESTSELLER #WrongPlaceWrongTime and #FiveWeeks, have you, no? yes? If not go and take a look at the many hundreds of 5* reviews....Let me know if you're enticed now!
Anyway, to entice you even further and to give you a little taster, below is the first chapter of #24HoursInNewYork called #SevenZero
I hope you enjoy it!


Seven Zero

I looked up at the two digits above the front door.

Seven. Zero.

The familiar numbers set behind a pane of glass that retained a long-standing crack stretched across the zero, were lodged inside a small box, embedded within the white painted wall.

But I hadn’t thought I’d be looking at them again quite so soon. 

Pressing the enamel doorbell which was encircled by a rusty silver frame, I looked down at the well-trodden welcome mat beneath my black shoes and studied the loose fibres detaching themselves in all directions as I anxiously wiped my worn, now well-travelled leather soles.

Twelve seconds later the silhouette of a figure appeared behind the door which then started to swing backwards.

As it disappeared into the shadow of the hallway, a face emerged, bathed in a golden glow as, at that moment, the sun escaped from behind the clouds above. 

It was Dad. 

‘Hello David,’ he said, shaking his head, with an animated smile.

All I noticed however, was what was hidden behind his welcoming facial expression.

His kind eyes telling me,

‘I knew this was going to happen.’


Go on, lets visit America and Marbella together.....

Latest 5***** reviews for Wrong Place Wrong Time

Wrong Place Wrong Time



"Best book I've read in a while! From the closely in-depth scenarios throughout this fantastic read, I knew it would become an instant favorite, just like this author already has. This book produces a variety of emotions, ending on a note of timely relief. Highly recommended!"

"I read the book in a day, as I couldn’t put it down. I won’t give too much away about the story, but it’s the first time I’ve looked up an author after finishing their book. I had a few outstanding questions and I was also really keen to see what David looked like as you build up a mental picture in your mind :-)… I don’t know if there were photos in the paper copy but there wasn’t on the e-version. David has a rogueish loveable charm, which came across brilliantly… I’ve always been attracted to that type of personality and sense of humour, so it was right up my street! It’s a story about a normal ‘geezer’ I won’t forget in a hurry. I expect (like me) most of the girls reading it will only wish they had been in Marbella at the same time as him!"

"It was unsettling, the knowledge that a split second decision can completely change the course of someone's life........"
This was certainly a statement that represented David P. Perlmutter's true life account in "Wrong Place Wrong Time". So many wrongly made split second decisions that impacted on the rest of his life, especially when in the wrong place at the wrong time!!
This book is brilliant and I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish, I would highly recommend you try and read this in one sitting as it's very addictive.
All the way through this compelling read you feel you are with David every step of the way - from his everyday job in an estate agency to the unfortunate events that followed - feeling all his emotions from fear and guilt to shame and relief. There was so much build up of anticipation throughout, the fear and terror was palpable. As a parent of three teenage sons I'm now going to be dreading them taking their first holiday abroad with their mates!
Lots of varied characters make up this story some nice some not so nice, I particularly liked 'Son of Elvis' - what a great character he was. The harrowing account of the filthy, dark and dank police cells were very descriptive and I can't imagine the true horror David went through during those days with only orange peel to keep him company!
"Wrong Place Wrong Time" is a very exciting book with some cliffhanger moments leaving you wondering what will happen next and at times screaming at him 'don't do it!'
I would highly recommend you put this book on your to read list but perhaps best not read if you're on holiday in Spain......."


"I don't normally read books like this but I am so glad I did. I could not put it down and I know that that line has been said so many times before but it is true. Again, this has been said over and over again but this story would make for a brilliant movie. I can see why this book has so many five star reviews and in my opinion, it deserves every one of them. Well done David! After everything you've been through you deserve a huge amount of credit for surviving to tell your tale."

"Fantastic book, couldn't put it down. I need a follow up though....still intrigued. As they say "leave them wanting more." Loved it thanks."

"The book drew me in from the first page, 'how could all this happen to an innocent member of the public'? It's an amazing story of one mans fight for freedom and the truth, that had me wanting to read on and on until its final conclusion.
Well written and an incredible read Hi journey had me unbelieving but knowing it was true and could happen to you
Really enjoy this book."


"From the start of the book I was gripped. It takes a special kind of book for me to not keep putting down and then pick back up as and when. I only put this book down once...and that was to get off the plane! This book took me on a roller coaster of emotions and there were moments that I really wasn't expecting! It was so well written and described that you can visualise every place, every room, every Street...even feel the warmth of the weather!"

Product Details

The P.I. team, CJ Washburn and his wife, Stella, the former Stella Summers, have been married only a few days when they head out on their honeymoon to New Zealand, the land of sailing, penguins and volcanoes, as well as a bloody bedroom of death. Liam Henwood and two of his young children were brutally murdered in their Papatoetoe home while his wife, Chloe, and oldest daughter were away in the States. Now the devastated pair are on the plane with the Washburns, flying home to bury their family. Not long after they meet the heartrending pair, CJ and Stella find themselves embroiled in the search for the murderer, themselves winding up in his deadly grip. From Auckland and Papatoetoe to National Park on North Island, across Cook Strait to South Island and on down to Christchurch, they pursue both the killer and their honeymoon.

"5***** I have read each book in the CJ Washburn series and each one is better than the other. Newly weds CJ and Stella are on their honeymoon in New Zealand but can't seem to escape murder and bad guys. A shocking murder occurred and the local police want to write it off as a home invasion. A distraught grandfather begs CJ and Stella to investigate, so how could this refuse?

As well as the action, I enjoyed the local color and characters in this novel. Looking forward to the next book in the series, that is if CJ and Stella decide to continue taking on risky cases. This one almost ended in disaster."

If Only I Had A Dad by Rick Amitin

Product Details



5***** This book spoke to me. It opened my eyes to the need of fathers and how important it is that I affirm and value my children.

In If Only I Had a Dad, Rick’s raw-polish approach to sharing his story and hard-earned wisdom will help other fatherless men and women to: · Identify the True Cause of All the Messy Dysfunction · Discover the Power on the Other Side of the Pain · Become the Whole Person They Never Thought Possible If you have been searching for an answer to your father hunger, wanting the pain to stop, this book is for you.

SNOW: Stories of Forbidden Love by Kelly Anne Blount

5* review for Stories of Forbidden Love

“Snow” is a collection of sixteen short stories by different authors. The theme is about forbidden love, and each story takes place in a cabin in the snow. That might seem to box in what can be written, but there is a great deal of variety in the stories, and a little something for everyone. Forbidden love is complicated and can have unexpected or even dangerous consequences. The story “Whiteout”, by Sarah Benson, starts with a frightening mystery where everyone is a suspect, and yet relationships and love make the difference in the end. As we learn about and identify with the characters in these stories, we learn about choices and consequences – and we come to learn about ourselves as well. I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of this book, then I purchased it to have on my smart phone."

SNOW: Stories of Forbidden Love



Before The Devil Knows You're Dead by Owen Mullen

An explosive new crime thriller from a best-selling author

Charlie’s Back!
Gavin Law was a whistleblower.
Now he’s missing.
Just another case for Glasgow PI, Charlie Cameron, until he discovers there is more to Law and his disappearance than anyone imagined.
Wallace Maitland, the surgeon responsible for leaving a woman brain-damaged may have abandoned his sacred oath and become a killer. Did the hospital which refused to accept responsibility for the tragedy have Law silenced permanently? Or, with his wife little more than a vegetable, has David Cooper, believing he has been betrayed yet again, taken justice into his own hands?
Charlie comes to realise the world of medicine can be a dangerous place.
Across the city, East End gangster, Sean Rafferty is preparing to exploit the already corrupt city council in a multi-million pound leisure development known as Riverside. The project will be good for Glasgow. But not everybody is keen to work with Rafferty.  
With more than money at stake, Sean will do anything to get his way. His motto, borrowed from his old man, is simple. Never take a no from somebody who can give you a yes.
If that means murder, then so be it.
Charlie has crossed Rafferty’s path before and lived to tell the tale.
He may not be so lucky a second time.
 What the readers are saying:
'An exciting new voice in Glasgow's crime fiction genre - it will have you hooked from page one!'
Lorraine Patrick
Westender Magazine
I have a very pleasurable problem with Owen Mullen's books - after I have finished reading them, I am spoilt for anything else until I come down off my 'Charlie high'. 
Sandy
Goodreads Top 100 Reviewer
This is a cracking read, fast-paced and well plotted. More please! 
Chris Nolan

                                          Before The Devil Knows You're Dead (PI Charlie Cameron Book 3)


5* review "I have always been a Charlie Cameron fan, I think Owen Mullen writes a wonderful brand of modern detective noir fiction. In the characters of Charlie and his sidekick Patrick you have interesting and well developed characters, who still have shades of grey within them. When you read one of Owen's books you expect a beautifully written novel with plenty of twists and turns and one that really brings the city of Glasgow to the fore. However this New work from Owen takes all of these concepts to the Max. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it's one of those devour in one sitting kind of novels. The story develops well you could read this as a standalone, but for Charlie fans the novel continues to give us more information about all the characters we've grown to love. Owen Mullen has always been a 5* read for me and this new book is no exception."
