📚 Pre-Orders, Free Story & White House Whodunnits | Author Diary – May 2, 2025 🕵️‍♂️✨

This week, I continued work on my speculative fiction collections. Influenced is now available to pre-order, and you can download my free short story Optimised at joncronshaw.com/optimised.

In this week’s Author Diary, I’ve been continuing work on my Speculative Fiction collections, sorting through short stories and getting everything ready for release.

The first collection, Influenced, is now available to pre-order on all major ebook platforms.

It’s packed with dark, satirical tales that twist reality in unsettling—and sometimes all-too-familiar—ways.

I also talk about watching The Residence, a fun and clever murder mystery set in the White House—highly recommended if you enjoy sharp dialogue and political intrigue with your whodunnits.

Plus, don’t forget: you can download my short story collection Optimised for free at joncronshaw.com/optimised.
