Sinossi

How many people have coveted their neighbour’s big premium bond win?
How many have thought how lucky someone is for winning big on the National Lottery?
How many, do you think, have just wished that they had more good luck in their lives?
Eight people have had all these thoughts.
What these eight people don’t realise is that the quicker they use up their good luck, the nearer they are to having a shed load of bad luck.
What they also don’t realise is that once they have maxed out on good luck, their ultimate outlook is not what they expect… In more ways than they care to imagine!
Playing an on-line game, the eight finalists don’t know that if they lose the game, they die. Something else they don’t know is that if they win the game, they die.
Either way, they’re dead...

Born in Sheffield in 1950, Bill is now retired and lives with Sheila, his wife of over fifty-three years.
In 1966, at the age of 15½, he joined the army and enjoyed many overseas postings, with tours in Northern Ireland, France, Cyprus, Kenya, Iran, Bermuda and the USA. He culminated his Army career in 1977 as an instructor at his regiment’s depot.
Since leaving the army, Bill has been a television and film extra and has been employed as a surveyor, lecturer, technical adviser to an insurer and, just prior to retirement, as a self employed health and safety consultant.
Bill is a published author and is also a published music composer and arranger.

    Nice Victorian ladies don’t run off to find legendary lost cities. 
    One trifling little arrest shouldn’t have cost Ellie Mallory her job, but it’s only the latest in a line of injustices facing any educated woman with archaeological ambitions. 
    When Ellie stumbles across the map to a mysterious ancient city, she knows she’s holding her chance to revolutionize Pre-Colombian history. There’s just one teensy complication. A ruthless villain wants it, and Ellie is all that stands in his way. 
    To race him to the ruins—and avoid being violently disposed of—she needs the help of maverick surveyor Adam Bates, a snake-wrangling rogue who can’t seem to keep his dratted shirt on. 
    But there’s more than Ellie’s scholarly reputation (and life) on the line. Her enemies aren’t just looters. They’re after an arcane secret rumored to lie in the heart of the ruins, a mythical artifact with a power that could shake the world. 
    Between stealing trousers, plummeting over waterfalls, and trying not to fall in love with her machete-wielding partner, will Ellie be able to stop the oracle of a lost empire from falling into the wrong hands? 
    Empire of Shadows is the first book in Jacquelyn Benson’s smart, swashbuckling Raiders of the Arcana series, narrated by twenty-year acting veteran Alex Picard. Read it now and dive into a rip-roaring historical fantasy adventure perfect for fans of What the River Knows and The Mummy.
