SCROLL DOWN FOR SOME EXCELLENT REVIEWS BY BOOK BLOGGERS

Molecular biologist Dr. Carl Peters is under pressure on two fronts: his research grants are disappearing and his marriage is falling apart. But when medical researchers discover that genetically modified animal feed has tainted the food chain, he finally gets the funding he always dreamed of.

Dr. Peters discovers the reason behind the cancer link with GM food, but it's so crazy, he barely believes it himself.

Transfection is a 5,500 word, 23-page technothriller, starring a molecular biologist who makes a discovery that shocks the world, only to find his life under threat. His story takes in militant vegans, corruption, homelessness, university politics, radiation, the celebrity-obsessed media, and a shadowy conspiracy.

Transfection is a brand-new story, exclusively available as an e-book. If you like the stories of Ray Bradbury or Philip K. Dick, you should enjoy this.

Praise for Transfection:

"Very strong images...a haunting quality...I totally did not expect that ending. I really didn't see it coming...I recommend this to people who do enjoy well written sci-fi." -- LE Olteano, Butterfly Books

"Well written...a polished product." -- TC, Booked Up Reviews

"I laughed out loud at some of the antics as I was reading. Transfection is well worth the $0.99 price-tag...yet another well written and, dare I say again, thought provoking, tale from David Gaughran." -- Heather Faville, Doubleshot Reviews

You can buy it here on Amazon, for $0.99: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0051ZG7AG/

My other story If You Go Into The Woods has been picking up some excellent reviews. Transfection has been collecting four star reviews on Amazon and Goodreads at a decent pace since its release just over a week ago, and some strong early sales indicate it will do as well as my first release. Book blog reviews are coming up, but here's some praise for my first release:

Review #1

The good people at SIFT Book Reviews have just given If You Go Into The Woods four stars! The reviewer said, "this is the most professional design - both inside and out - that I have seen since I started reviewing at Sift."

She went on to say that, "the writing in this story is top-notch. Aside from being free of typos and grammatical mistakes, the writer has a strong, clean voice. He's able to sustain an air of mystery and suspense without it feeling cheap."

Review #2

If You Go Into The Woods also received a wonderful review from Jenny Mounfield (author of The Ice-cream Man) over at The Compulsive Reader. She really said both stories had "shades of H.P. Lovecraft".

She rounded off her piece saying "If You Go Into the Woods is probably not best suited to readers who prefer their stories neatly boxed with all the answers lined up. But for those readers who, like me, love punchy, entertaining reads with a bit of mental gymnastics thrown in, you can't go wrong with this one."
