Currently reading ‘Disclaimer’ by Renee Knight
At the moment I’m reading an addictive book called ‘Disclaimer’ by Renee Knight – it’s great. For a long time I’ve been hungry for a book that constantly has me predicting, has me wondering (even when I’m not reading) and more importantly keeps me hooked. If this is what you desire from a book, then get your hands on a copy of Renee Knight’s Disclaimer!
If you’re dying to find out more, than below is the blurb for Disclaimer.
“Imagine if the next thriller you opened was all about you. Â When an intriguing novel appears on Catherine’s bedside table, she curls up and begins to read. But as she turns the pages she is horrified to realize she is a key character, a main player. This story will reveal her darkest secret. A secret she thought no one else knew…”
With some great story telling from Knight, the book immediately hooks you in and introduces you to the main character, Catherine, and into her personal life – a lot of stress, a deep secret and of course, the mysterious book.
With so much hunger to discover Catherine’s secret and the identity of the book placer, you just find yourself wrapped up in the book; hungry for answers. I struggle to stop reading Disclaimer at the moment and I’m not far from the end. I cannot wait to finish it hopefully over the weekend!
A great part (for me personally) of reading Disclaimer is that it shares a similar theme and main plot to my own novel ‘The Author‘ – allowing me to see how Renee tells a story using a book as one of the key aspects of the plot.
Writing DECEPTION!
As a side note, I have also been working on my new thriller ‘DECEPTION’ – why am I mentioning this in a post about Disclaimer? Well, because DECEPTION is currently the same size as Disclaimer (367 pages), everyone loves a fun fact!
I’m so close to the end of writing DECEPTION, before I then begin the editing process.

Writing DECEPTION – Tweets
I regularly update my Twitter page whilst writing DECEPTION – I like to post ambiguous tweets about certain parts of the book.
I thought I’d gather the tweets below for you to read. Can you guess what’s going on in DECEPTION from these posts?
#amwriting #DECEPTION Billy returns home and something is not quite right. Something is missing. Something he loves has gone.

DECEPTION Ch.21 – Billy has finally read the entries
I’ve been working on DECEPTION again this weekend, and now more has been shown to Billy.
He was in unfamiliar territory when asked to read some entries that he promised he would never read. But because he needed answers, he’s had to go against that. After reading the entries, there are some answers for Billy, but some things are still unclear.
Billy returns home and something is not quite right. Something is missing. Something he loves has gone.
Update: Coming Soon!
We’re coming to the New Year now, so I thought I’d update you all on my projects.
As you may know, I haven’t self-published any books during this year – simply because I was too busy with my final year of University and I unexpectedly landed myself a Copywriting role at a Digital Marketing Company. However, I was planning to completely reduce the amount of writing I did during the year of 2015, but that didn’t really happen.
I have been writing – not as regularly as normal, but more than I anticipated. If you’ve been keeping up to date with this blog or my Twitter (@TJBlake93) or Facebook pages, then you’ll know that I have been working on my new thriller Deception, which I am hoping to self-publish some time next year. I have also done some work to Endurance 3, which could also be out next year, more likely 2017 though – but I will push for it to be out 2016, just for you!
Anyhow, thought I’d let you know that I am still alive (because I haven’t posted in a while) and working hard to get Deception written and self-published (or published!?) for you to all enjoy.
I have a good feeling about this, unlike Obi-Wan…Â That’s right, I’m VERY excited to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens!
COMING SOON
Deception (2016) (Thriller)
Endurance 3 (2016/17) (Mystery, Horror, Suspense, Dystopia, Science Fiction)
Our Christmas decorations are up!Â
No doubt everyone knows that Christmas is just around the corner now. Shops, homes and streets across the globe have been decorated in lights, tinsel, glitter, fake snow, stars, reindeers and Christmas trees.
My home is no different. The living room currently looks like Santa’s grotto – dominated by blue, red and the classic warm gold lighting of the fairy lights; wrapped around the tree. Not forgetting the gleaming tinsel as well!
With the current chilly and wintry weather here in the UK, it’s really helping me to imagine myself as Billy when writing Deception. It’s currently snowing in the book and of course, the weather won’t stop Billy from taking his daily stroll in his woodlands!
Writing my new thriller ‘Deception’ – Chapter 17 & 18Â
I’ve been writing and editing Decpetion this weekend, swiftly moving past chapter 17 and onto a shocking chapter 18.
Billy had been enjoying his dangerous victory until a familiar face appears, in the most unlikely form.
The victory suddenly turns into a punishment, which will haunt him for the rest of his life.
Chapter 19 will be a tough and emotional time for Billy.
Working on Deception this evening – Chapter 17
After a long and tension filled chapter 16, Billy is left haunted but victorious. He doesn’t know the outcome of the events from the night before, but after heading back into his woodlands, it looks conclusive. The emotions he’s now feeling are new to him though.
Knowing what’s about to come, Billy has no idea what is about to hit him. The book has been building to this point, and I cannot wait to execute this part of the story – Billy’s world is about to implode.
