PRESS RELEASE
EYESHOT a thriller by Taylor
Adams published by Joffe Books, London
Joffe Books is delighted to announce the
publication of this outstanding suspense thriller by a debut novelist from
Washington state.
“Eyeshot had me intrigued from the
moment I read the pitch Taylor sent me last year. The beautifully honed writing
accentuates the demonic evil of the wisecracking sniper who pins down the
couple in open desert. I loved the
precision and humor with which Taylor describes the couple’s rocky
relationship. It really is one of those books you can’t put down.”

EYESHOT
James and Elle Eversman are a young
couple travelling through the Mojave desert on their way to a new life. When
their car mysteriously breaks down they are stranded in the middle of nowhere
without much water and no cell-phone reception.
A mile away a deadly sniper has them in
his cross-hairs. They are pinned down behind their broken-down car, surrounded
by open ground in all directions. There’s nowhere to run and no one to help
them. How can they possibly survive?
With relentless tension, razor-sharp
prose, and a surprising dose of dark humor, EYESHOT will keep you gripped till
its stunning conclusion.

ADAMS
"Writing Eyeshot was fun because the story spans roughly six hours - basically one long, intensifying action sequence. My goal was to write a novel with the controlled urgency of a movie, hopefully compelling the reader to finish my book in a single sitting."
Taylor Adams directed the
acclaimed short film And I Feel Fine in 2008 and graduated from Eastern
Washington University with the Excellence in Screenwriting Award and the
prestigious Edmund G. Yarwood Award. His directorial work has screened at the
Seattle True Independent Film Festival and his writing has been featured on
KAYU-TV's Fox Life blog. He has worked in the film/television industry for
several years and lives in Washington state.
An independent publishing company
based in the creative hub of Shoreditch, London, close to the digital and
artistic communities that inspire it. Jasper Joffe, a contemporary artist, well-known
for projects such as The Free Art Fair and The Sale of a Lifetime, decided to
found a digital-only publishing company to release outstanding fiction and make
the most of the new opportunities which are transforming the world of books.
“The age of Kindle means that I
can bring great fiction out fast and with everything from cover, to blurb, to
marketing done in-house. I’ve applied some of the knowledge I gained as a
successful artist to the publishing world. It’s a really exciting moment to be
doing this, because for the first time in history, a writer can send me a book
and within months, if everything goes well, be selling their book and having
thousands of people all over the world reading it!” Jasper Joffe
