Dark, debauched, and disturbing!!!  That's the blurb.

The Harry short story collection, Harry Kenmare, PI - At Your Service, went  live today (at least for ebooks).

So, if you love Harry and you're an ebook fan, then it's on Kindle (in the US, and will be on the other Amazon shops over the next few hours).  It's also on Kobo worldwide.  Other ebook platforms are following.

For the paperback, I'm told 2 weeks here until the originals arrive from the printers.  And the POD version will be going online in the next few days.

Cheers,
ABP

Over 7 days, here are 7 tastes of the Harry short stories in Harry Kenmare, PI - At Your Service, with their opening lines …

Here's #7 - "The Reluctant Bride".

She had all the dignity of a novice porn starlet who’d just had the money shot sprayed all over her face, in a gang-bang scene.
I stood there and looked at her, lying back propped up on pillows against the bed-head.

And the accompanying image in the book is from the superb Ran Scott.

Here's #6 - "The Missing Lily".

Panda bear, pick-up, pussy, phone call, pagodas, Peking duck, paternal loss, prostitutes, pay-day, and pussy galore.
So, the question is: what do these ten Ps have in common?
And the answer is: the most recent assignment for me, PI Harry Kenmare.
Being a gumshoe sure as hell has variety. Just as well. If I had to do the nine-to-five corporate hamster wheel ever again, I’d fucking shoot myself.

And the accompanying image in the book is from the superb Ran Scott.

Here's #5 - "Wankers".

She had a rack that would’ve distracted a Catholic priest from the altar boys. My first client in a fortnight sashayed unannounced into my shitty, smoke-filled office as I was pouring my first Jameson for the day. Well, it was a touch after 11 a.m. I nearly spilt the amber nectar. I was transfixed. She reached my desk and held out her hand.

And the accompanying image in the book is from the superb Ran Scott.

Here's #4 - "The Lonely Corpse".

She was standing outside my office door: fretful, indecisive, uncertain. Clearly in need of help. Like a furtive adolescent outside the VD clinic, for the first time.
The young woman was dowdy, with plain clothes and no make-up.
Unlike Terri I’d taken home from the pub last night. Plenty of make-up, and then no clothes. The reason I was late this morning. Pretty sure her name was Terri. Totally sure the sex was awesome.

And the accompanying image in the book is from the superb Ran Scott.

Here's #3 - "A Sex Kitten for a Cabinet Meeting".

Lying back in your birthday suit, with a barely legal young tart, also sensationally naked. Said young hussy has her mouth full, stretched wider than an anaconda swallowing a peccary, except in this case it’s your ragingly hard cock.
There’s a problem with this image: when it’s photographed for posterity. Raises eyebrows in certain circles.

And the accompanying image in the book is from the superb Ran Scott.
