What a fabulous Brighton launch for Phil Viner’s What a fabulous Brighton launch for Phil Viner’s (PD Viner) novel ‘The Call’ @northlainecafe. 

Phil’s one of our mentoring team at The Writing Coach @thewritingcoach and it was great to catch up with @laura_wilkinsonwriter and @nikkisheehan3 there too - also Writing Coach mentors and friends - as well as well as novelist friend @katewritesbooks . Here’s to great success for ‘The Call’

“In a frantic late-night phone call, Ben learns his wife, Mia, has killed a man. And she needs his help.

When Ben arrives at Mia's hotel room, the scene is horrific - but over the course of the night it will get much worse.

All their secrets will be uncovered, and they will discover how far they'll go to protect themselves and each other... will they kill for love? Or will they die for it?
One phone call. Twelve hours to save their marriage. And their lives.”
