About this ebook
It can be murder digging up your family tree, especially when your ancestor is trying to kill you.
Chrissie Fersen desperately wants to know how she is connected to the death of a servant woman in Glasgow in 1862. Enlisting the aid of local librarian Billie Vane, she is determined to clear the name of the woman originally convicted of the crime. But her chief suspect appears to be alive and well - and it looks like he still has murder on his mind...
The Murder Tree introduces an unlikely pair of heroes: the American daughter of a wealthy businessman and a Manchester-born librarian working in Glasgow. Each have their share of domestic strife to deal with, while sharing a thirst to find out the truth about a 150 year-old murder. But deaths are still taking place today as far afield as New York, and trying to dig through the roots of this unique family tree becomes more hazardous than either Chrissie or Billie could imagine.

I tend to describe myself as "a creative writer". The reason for that is I get bored easily. I write books, yes. But then I also write comedy sketches, and I read books. And, if I feel strongly about something I read - I sometimes write reviews too. After all, if someone goes to the trouble of telling you a story, it's not unreasonable to tell them if you liked it, or not. Feedback helps a writer to learn, to develop their skills, and to gain a following. Yes, especially if those reviews sometimes seem a little harsh!So far, I've written and self-published two novels, a memoir and a travelogue. Along the way I have had feedback that has encouraged me to develop my skills - and while I won't pretend I sell a lot of books, I do enjoy writing. I take my time to make sure that everything I publish meets a high standard. To me, there's no point in churning out substandard dross that fails to get interest by the end of the first chapter. If I want to build up a readership, then I have to work for it. I set a bar for myself that matters, and I won't put my work out there until it meets the same standard of the books I like to buy from other authors.If that's how you see it too, then I hope you will read my stuff. I've also created a website (www.alanveale.com) where you can learn more about me, my published works, kangaroos and tattoos.And you can use it to offer your opinions too!
