About B. L. TORSADES

You'd probably categorise me as a multi-genre author! 

I've written romances, a vendetta crime novel, an adventure series of three books set in Asia and a medical thriller set in Africa. All save one are available as ebooks on Amazon. Paperbacks are an alternative. A romance entitled Highways of the Earth can be found in bookshops: the ISBN is 979-8227764805.

I'm a professional who has worked in three continents. Four more novels are under way.

My available e-books are detailed below. 

Originally published as one large volume under the title 'THE DESERTER'S DAUGHTER,' the 'VICTIMS' series is an exciting adventure story that tells of a fugitive from the Vietnam war and his adopted daughter. How he escapes from the scene of an atrocity, together with the young girl whose life he saved, is described in the first novel, along with their subsequent flight to Hong Kong where they go to ground. Books 2 and 3 in the series tell of how a vengeful brother-in-arms discovers his whereabouts and tracks him down, leading to a sensational climax. It's a heart-stopping and sensual story with many poignant moments.    

'SANDALWOOD NIGHT', is obvious from the cover design; it's a cross-cultural love story, a gentle tale of heartbreak and spiritual discovery with a revelatory ending.

'IN PASSING' is a collection of dramatic short stories that surround the centrepiece, a gripping medical drama set in the African bush. where a mission hospital is seized with a creeping sense of doom and foreboding. Things are starting to go wrong – the malign monsoon has come early, independence is just round the corner, a new recruit has turned out to be a twisted predator, and the hospital’s treasured theatre sister has died on the operating table after a mysterious illness. 

As if that weren’t bad enough, a brutal tribal chief has signalled his intention to come in for treatment.

Stress levels escalate as the medical team prepare to face him, his armed enforcers – and his witchdoctor.

Amongst the other stories are: the spirit of a murdered concubine haunts an American family in Hong Kong; when extreme sports go badly wrong; an Inuit legend of the world's ending; how to sink an aircraft carrier in 10 seconds; and two horror stories to wrap it up.

'HOUSE OF RAPTORS'  is a vendetta crime thriller set in the Peak District.
