Brown, Amazon Top 500 Reviewer*** Dear Reader, If you're like me then you love reading novels by Michael Connelly, Jeffery Deaver, Stephen King, Gillian Flynn, Lee Child, Patricia Highsmith, Stieg Larsson, Dennis Lehane and Jo Nesbo. Among many others. And if you like those writers, then I invite you to have a look at my stand-alone psychological thrillers. You can buy them all on Amazon, or pick up a free / discounted novel at my website, dfbailey.com. Be warned: these books step into the dark side.Writing psychological thrillers isn't always easy, but it's always a rush. When you read my novels I hope you'll share the buzz, the excitement and the adrenaline high with me. Like all writers, I love readers who enjoy my books, especially those who are kind enough to leave a review. Perhaps you will, too. Happy reading, D. F. (Don) Bailey
