The Promise by Sally Jenkins
A man has been stabbed. A woman is bloodstained. The nightmares from her teenage years have begun again for Olivia Field – just as she is preparing to marry.
Ex-convict, Tina is terminally ill. Before she dies, the care of her younger, psychologically unwell brother, Wayne must be ensured. So Tina calls in a promise made to her thirty years ago in a prison cell. A promise that was written down and placed with crucial evidence illustrating a miscarriage of justice in a murder case.
Tina believes Olivia is perfectly placed to provide the care Wayne needs, but to do so, Olivia must be forced to cancel her own wedding and wreck the lives of those close to her. Tina’s terrible blackmail demands put Olivia’s entire future and, ultimately, her freedom under threat.
The novel explores the lengths to which people are prepared go in order to protect those they love and the impossibility of ever fully escaping our past actions.
Available in paperback and on Kindle and from the publisher’s website. Also available from iBooks, GooglePlay, Nook and book shops.
Bedsit Three by Sally Jenkins
A girl has been buried in a shallow grave. Rain starts to wash away the earth covering her.
Why have Ignatius and his girlfriend disappeared from Bedsit 3 in dingy Vesey Villa?
Why has he left behind a used pregnancy test and a scrap book about a woman’s suicide in a cardboard box?
Ignatius is desperate to get the contents of that box back and, after the mysterious loss of both his mother and his girlfriend, he’s searching for someone else to ‘love’ in his own special way. The events that follow devastate several lives …
Every mother tries to do her best for her child. But sometimes that ‘best’ creates a monster. You decide whether the evil within Ignatius is nature or nurture.
Bedsit Three is a tale of murder, mystery and love. It won the inaugural Wordplay Publishing/Ian Govan Award and was shortlisted for both the Silverwood-Kobo-Berforts Open Day Competition and the Writing Magazine/McCrit Competition.
Michael Barton, Founder and Managing Director of WordPlay Publishing said of Bedsit Three, “This novel is well-constructed and well-written. But it’s also far more than that. It’s a book that elicits emotional reaction, drawing the reader into the story and placing him or her in the middle of the action page after page. Be prepared for a sleepless night, because you won’t want to put it down until you get to the end.”
Available in paperback and on Kindle. Also available on Kobo.

Hello Sally
Sorry to take so long but I’ve just finished reading your ‘Old Friends’ 13 Coffee Break stories. I thought they were all really good and I thoroughly enjoyed reading them.

I really enjoyed reading your latest book on writing. I wish it was also in paperback so that I could reference it chapter by chapter.
It is well written and very informative, especially for a writer embarking on their first attempts at being published. It was easy to follow and I felt you were guiding the reader slowly and confidently through each stage of the writing experience.
What next, Sally?

Sorry for the delay, Sally, but I’ve just posted a review for you on Amazon under my Talkback pseudonym, which I’m sure you’ll recognise. For some reason, Amazon refuses to allow me to switch to my real name.

Thank you so much, Maggie! I’m glad you enjoyed One Day For Me.

Certainly did!

Hi Sally, I would love to buy your book about writing but my Kindle app isn’t working properly anymore. Are your books availabale on otehr platforms like Smashwords, or even as a pdf? Thanks!
#11 by Sally Jenkins on May 30, 2013 - 6:14 pm
Edith, at the moment they’re not available in any other format. But I do intend to do something about that later in the year (when I get time!). I will announce it on my blog when it happens. Thank you for your interest!

Sally’s recent article on ‘tight writing’ that appeared in ‘Freelance Market News’ was immensely helpful to me. Now I would like to buy a copy of ‘A Writer on Writing’ but do not have a Kindle machine. Is the book likely to be produced as a hard copy?
#13 by Sally Jenkins on February 26, 2014 - 5:44 pm
Hi Martin, I’m glad you found the FMN article useful. Unfortunately cost means there’s unlikely to be a hardcopy of ‘A Writer on Writing’. I’ll email you to see if we can find a way around it.
