Welcome to my website

My Events Page is apparently still under construction so I'll tell you about my next event right here. It's on Saturday morning, 10th September 2011. At around 10 am onwards I'll be at Phillip Howard Books on Street Lane Leeds (opposite the Deer Park pub) signing copies of my Piatkus, sagas which are mainly set in Leeds in the 1940s and 1950s. I'd be delighted to meet you.

Ken MccoyThanks for taking the time to visit my site. If anyone’s vaguely interested in my personal history click on the bio page. It’s a fairly abbreviated biography as I don’t want to get sued by anyone.

Hopefully you’re here to check on my books rather than my level of sanity. My editor, commenting on Hammerhead, did wonder what sort of writer begins a book with two of the most violent villains in crime fiction driving round in a car, wearing Looney Tunes masks (Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck). If you want to know the answer, buy the book.

Although I'm a great lover of the traditional book and I'm sure they'll never go out of style I have to admit to also being a huge fan of ebooks which are incredibly versatile, convenient and green. Click on the links below to download a sample, to check on the prices or better still, just click and buy...

 

Sagas:

You can follow me on Twitter @TheRealKenMcCoy and please check out my blog.

You are welcome to contact me by email here: ken@kenmccoy.co.uk and I will reply as soon as I can.

Or if you want to know where to buy my books without nipping out to the shops, go to the links page and buy them over the Internet. Personally I prefer to browse the bookshops, if only to reposition my own books so they’re face on. 

Also if anyone requires an after dinner speaker click on to my After Dinner page. Most of the highly complimentary letters are from golf clubs and corporate dinners. You’ll gather from the letters that I’m not a speaker to be taken too seriously.  Providing you don’t want anyone too erudite I also do library talks, literary festivals and the like.
