David The Penance List

AUTHOR S C CUNNINGHAM's writing style is compared to that of Martina Cole, Karen Rose and Jilly Cooper. Sexy thrillers with film in mind.

Cunningham has worked in the celebrity driven worlds of music, fashion, media and sport, mixed with rock stars, royalty, footballers and maverick moguls, and safely crossed the path of a brutal serial attacker. Her diverse life and quick witted honesty afford her novels a level of authority and sincerity rare in fiction.

With a skilled mix of fuelled tension, dark humour and pulsating sex scenes, she has it all; fear, laughter, arousal and thought provoking questions, leaving the reader wanting more.

Her psychological thriller 'The Penance List' is being adapted for film (Screenplay by award-winning writer Rick Friend), she is now working on stand-alone sequels, 'Unfinished Business', and 'For My Sins' which complete The David Trilogy, also written with film in mind.

READER REVIEWS;

"Boy, if anyone can write about sex this lady can! It's a complete turn on from start to finish - I'm ashamed to say even the sadistic bits have erotic appeal - and no writer's ever done that for me before!! I love the characters - they involve you straight away and the plot keeps you hooked right to the end.... what end? I'm going to read the next two parts of the trilogy as soon as I can get hold of them. You're a very brave lady Ms Cunningham, and I love what you've done: you've somehow given us all the things we want to read about in one. It makes you shiver, it makes you laugh out loud, it intrigues you, it arouses you... you don't feel guilty lapping up the horror because the characters in one way or another seem to deserve it (or get their revenge for it)''
Amazon review, 5.0 out of 5 stars

'What an explosive and visceral start. You have created a very compelling scene which should draw us more deeply into the book and quickly. Not sure about the tag Chick Lit or Erotica, this seems like a psychological thriller at the moment. I like the title, very interesting, creates a number of questions from the off. Your writing is bold and delivers the narrative quickly and simply, a compelling read, well-constructed, if a bit graphic for my personal tastes, best of luck with it'

'I wholeheartedly back this. You know how to elicit exactly the reaction you want readers to feel. That's an awesome gift'

'Hello SC, I must applaud you for the wonderful descriptions. Very vivid.You also did a great job bring your characters to life in this story, a testament to the fact that your characterization is perfect. Very intuitively observed. You came up with an amazing setting and an intriguing plot to go with it. By the smooth flow of your writing, wittiness, effective dialogue, and descriptions, you did an excellent job taking me along the ride in what proved to be a compelling read'.

'Unfinished Business is every bit as good as The Penance List. You did not disappoint. Well done. Cheers'

'My God! Good for you! You are one gutsy broad! Think about selling this one to Hollywood!'
'A really good read preferably in daylight! One minute horrified the next laughing out loud, I finished the book covered in goosebumps'.
Amazon review.

''Bravo! Cunningham artfully weaves a compelling tapestry of murder, mayhem, and Martinis in her latest work, ''The Penance List." Delicious and salacious, this novel offers a new twist on the modern romance and the classic psychological thriller. It is a riveting tale filled with colorful characters, suspenseful sequences, and titillating twists. A fabulous read for those who dare!''
