Bristol author's debut novel gains significant momentum
Nery McMahon's debut book 'The Immigrant Veronicas Story', published last year by Austin Macauley, has gained some real momentum as her true-crime, semi-autobiographical story catches the attention of the UK's media.
Her new novel has featured in two newspaper articles over recent weeks, one in the prestigious Bristol Post newspaper and the second in this month's edition of the Kingswood Voice. Links for the articles can be found below.
Nery's book is based on actual events that occurred in Bristol UK in 2003 and tells the troubling true story of Veronica, abused and mistreated at various stages of her life, including as a young child. As an adult, the violence she constantly suffered eventually led to a brutal double murder. It is semi-autobiographical and is accurately based on her own life experiences. It looks at the dark side of humanity, exploring sensitive and controversial themes but ultimately it's power emanates from her strength, resilience and courage as she fought for justice. It is a truly shocking and compelling story but at the same time, delivers hope for many similar victims that have no voice.

The Immigrant Veronicas Story
Hello everyone My name is Nery and I am an author based in Kingswood in Bristol and I have recently had my first book published entitled 'The Immigrant Veronicas Story'. It's a true-crime, semi-autobiographical story telling the harrowing and shocking true story of Veronica as she endured domestic abuse and violence from a very young age that continued in to adulthood. She escaped her constant pain and suffering to start a new life away from her family, her friends and the country she called home. Her new life in England bought peace and solitude only for a short while as a new regime of terror began that eventually led to murder. My story is based on actual events that occurred in Bristol in 2003 and carry memories that still haunt me even today. My novel has caught the attention of the media as it has had two newspaper articles published about it. One was in the Bristol Post newspaper last month and the other in this months edition of the Kingswood Voice. The links to the articles are below where you can learn more about my life in Bristol, my story and the inspiration behind it's creation.

THE EMBER AND THE ECHOES
EPISODE 3: THE VALE OF WHISPERS Leaving the Marches felt like shedding a skin. The loud, bloody chaos faded into a damp, watchful silence as Kaelen entered the Blackwood Vale. The air grew cold and carried the scent of pine and deep, rotten earth. This was Lord Theron Vance’s domain, and his influence was a chill that seeped into the bones.

Smart phones, Humans and Aliens.
WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.
