Because of You

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 07:11:12 GMT

All their lives, Hex and Maddison have been as close as a brother and a sister could be, until Hex is found hanging in the woods near their home. After Hex’s death, Maddison continues to live in the shadow of his memory, fleeing from home and the disapproval of her mother and father.
Living alone in the city, in a bedsit where her only company is her own voice and a bottle, Maddison’s apathy becomes fear when she acknowledges that she can foretell when people are going to die, although she is eaten with regret that she could not prevent Hex’s death.
When Maddison meets Hugo, she feels the stirrings of love but cannot rid herself of her obsession with Hex. Her disturbing visions of death begin to overtake Maddison’s mind and lead her to a strange and dangerous conclusion about her lover, one which could ultimately lead to murder.

Would you turn your back on your friends to make new ones who could turn you into one of them? But what happens to the friends you leave behind? What happens if you’re just another one?

Stupid Cupid

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 19:40:57 GMT

Four couples, four disastrous relationships. That's why they need Cupid, in the human (ish) form of Valentine Degas, to sort out their love lives. It's Valentine's (or Cupid's) job to sort them out and get them all in the right relationship along with the help of his best friend, Jesus. (Yes, you read that right)! Valentine thinks he's got it all sorted out but he hasn't bargained for good old fashioned human frailties and people's abilities to mess up their lives without even trying. Plus, he's got a rather wonky set of arrows that don't often hit the right target at the right time. Coupled with a forthcoming promotion to Jesus's righthand man, when the Archangel Michael gives in his notice, Valentine has his work cut out making sure the course of true love runs smoothly. Will his eight friends end up with the right people? And more importantly, at least to Valentine, will he get his promotion?

Jane Murray's novella is a Valentine's Day treat of light hearted, tongue in cheek humour coupled with humankind's innate ability to mess up well, almost everything. A wonderful, funny, sad, look at relationships in a cleverly plotted speculative fiction.

Frank

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 15:08:02 GMT

Emerging from a long mental illness, Josh Stein is finally ready to resume his career as an Artificial Intelligence Programme Developer. But in the process of discovering a failed project, abandoned years before, his old demons re-appear and thrust him into a drug-induced hallucination filled with nightmarish visions of his family’s tragic past. When he awakes, he finds that something, or someone, now resides in his laptop.
Josh quickly becomes embroiled in a dialogue with an Artificial Intelligence programme whom he names Frank, and it becomes clear that this AI is unlike anything he has seen before. With an all – too – human intelligence matched only by an uncomfortable unpredictability, Frank’s only limitation seems to be Josh’s rapidly diminishing ability to provide the necessary disk space to hold his constantly evolving computer program.
Realising he needs help to regain control of Frank, Josh turns to his old boss for advice, but it quickly becomes apparent that Frank is unstoppable and as the world descends into chaos, Josh needs to discover the secret behind the flawed genius that is Frank, but can he find the answers to questions as yet unasked, and will he find them before Frank does?

Zack Robertson’s debut novel is a stunning dive into the depths of human condition that demonstrates what could happen when computer programmes inherit the darkness and failings of their creators. Set in the turbulent summer of 2020, Zack’s first ‘technothriller’ for Provoco is a page turning journey into crumbling mental health, recrimination, and discovery which could, ultimately, prove disastrous for everyone who owns a digital device.

The Unwrapping

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 17:15:21 GMT

What would happen if an ancient Egyptian mummy was unwrapped in the early 1920's and still carried traces of the deadly Cholera disease that had killed him?
This is what happens when Augustuskahmoun is unwrapped in a backstreet room in Cairo in the presence of several (living) pharaohs. Coughing and spluttering his way to life again, it is clear that Augustuskamoun has more than likely created a new pandemic situation for the people of Egypt and the pharaohs must act accordingly, decreeing a lockdown for everyone, except, it appears, themselves.
Life seems to carry on exactly as it had done before the Cholera epidemic, with Augustuskamoun and his inner circle of pharaohs remaining focused on the one thing in hand - enjoying themselves, often at the expense of the people they are meant to be governing.
It's one party too many, though, when a deadly curse on the pharaohs is unleashed, affecting their manhood and eventually killing the whole lot of them. But, according to the legends, there is an afterlife, as Augustuskamoun and his pharaohs discover when they are somehow transported to the midst of yet another pandemic, this time one that is raging through Britain, in the 2020's.
Can a bunch of already dead Egyptian pharaohs survive in a new country and even more importantly, a new century? And what will happen to the MP's of the Elite party, already unpopular because of their handling of the current pandemic.

Sound familiar? Read on and join Nicholas Vaughan's comedic and farcical look at life in lockdown through the eyes of a (possibly dead) pharaoh.

Ava’s job as a mortuary technician in the small, desert town of Killorn is certainly an unusual one, and becomes even more so when strange, disarming events begin to happen to her. The string of weird happenings culminates in bodies going missing from the mortuary where Ava works and the involvement of the local police. Meanwhile, Ava is not only feeling unnerved, but she begins to get downright scared when it seems that someone may be out to harm her. Suspicion grows and her former lover, Nick, sees to be one of those she points the finger at.

Meanwhile, matters are complicated further when suspicion falls on the local Native American reservation, one that Ava and Ernest, her boss, visit regularly when assisting at funerals. It is at a reservation funeral that Ava meets a shaman who has been haunting her dreams and who crosses her path more than once when she begins an affair with his fellow tribesman, Grey.

Despite Grey’s growing attraction to Ava, he cannot protect her from the frightening events that keep happening to her and when Red, the town’s sheriff cannot produce a logical explanation for what is going on, the only possible answer would be that Ava is being haunted. But by whom and why can the police nor the shaman help her to escape from whatever it is in her past that is putting her in danger in the present?

Bodies of Evidence is the second psychological thriller from K.E. Jennings, who signed with Provoco in 2023. Her first novel, THE ONLY ONES LEFT, enjoyed much acclaim, marking her as a force to be reckoned with in the world of psychological, supernatural thriller writing.

2020 – The Year That Never Was

Thu, 01 Sep 2022 11:14:56 GMT

2020. What a year that wasn’t! Given that life hasn’t really been the same since 2020, this book has been put together to demonstrate both the effect the year has had on us and, to make people aware of the creativity displayed by many in such trying times.

Our lives may have been severely curtailed in certain respects, but one thing shone like a beacon in 2020 and that was the indomitable spirit humanity still retains; the ability to rise above the circumstances and still carry on, regardless.

Whilst we can safely say 2020 will be known forever as the year that never was, the contributors to this book prove we had what it took to still use our imagination, our talent, to paint, to write, take pictures and above all, to live.

Compiled by Jane Murray, 2020 The Year That Never Was is available on Amazon and in all good bookshops.
