Rat's Tales is a small independent publisher of books that are nice to hold, to read and to own. Also home of the Simon Ellice crime thriller series. The Stories When I was a boy I loved stories of adventure. Inside I’m still a boy and now I love them even more. It’s taken me thousands of hours to learn how to write the stories that I do, but it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. In my opinion anyway. A few years ago, I started to write about a fast boat on a dark sea. Like doodling, only in words. And then there was Si speaking to me, telling me what was happening and what it felt like. At the time I thought his voice in my head was a new one, but I was wrong; I’ve known the ruthless, selfish bastard all my life. Since then he’s become my constant companion. Or, more accurately, I’ve become his. We’ve been to a lot of places together and he’s introduced me to some interesting and scary people. It’s a journey that has only just begun. Come with us if you want to. If there’s anything you want to say to me or ask, please feel free to do so here. Or if you prefer, visit our sister site, www.simonellice.co.uk, to find out more about Simon. There’s a lot to know! The Books I’ve never been able to treat them well; I always bend the corners and get coffee and jam on them, but they’ve always mattered to me. As physical things, I mean. I still have the copies I read when I was young. We’ve done our best to make books that are nice to hold and to read and to own. We hope you like them. Publishing As you may have guessed, I didn’t get a great publishing deal so, like many others, I’m doing it myself. I’ve created a tiny publishing* company called Rat’s Tales and assembled a small team. We’re trying our hardest (already said doing best above) to do this well, so if anything isn’t perfect, please let us know and we’ll do something about it immediately. Delivery Prices include delivery to the UK mainland. Well, a physical book isn’t much use to you unless we get it to you, is it? If you want one sent anywhere else please email us at enquiries@ratstales.co.uk and we’ll try to help. We will keep your details if you say we may. If you don’t, we won’t. If you let us keep your details we may send you an email occasionally to tell you we’ve got another book out, or similar. We promise not to spam you and if you ask us to stop, we will stop. We will do all the sensible and necessary things to protect any information you give us. Refunds and Returns If a download is faulty we will replace it or give you a refund as you decide. If a physical book is faulty in any way we will replace it or give you a refund - whichever you prefer - but we may ask you to return it to us first to help us get to the bottom of the problem.
