Overview
Numerous is a thriller that intertwines fascinating historical facts with modern day biological terrorist threats to global peace and health. When you consider the book hinges on a 900 year old prophecy written by Ireland’s first ever saint, you may doubt the ‘factual credentials’... Until you discover that St Malachy not only predicted each and every pope until the very last, Petrus Romanus, but also correctly prophesised the exact date and time of his own death. Far from his prophecy being the little known writings of an ancient mystic, St Malachy’s prophecy was presented, in person, to Pope Innocent II and has been stored in the Vatican's own archives ever since. Numerous mixes this ancient prophecy with the very real threat of international biological terrorism that an advisor to the UN, Interpol, NATO and various international governments described in 2012 as, ‘a revolution that will be on us faster than either the mobile or the computing revolutions’. The result is a fast-paced thriller that takes the reader on a terrifying journey across three countries and into the Holy Land and the Vatican itself, looking to track down the vicious murderer of an elderly government scientist, who’s been brutally slain and nailed to the wall in the shape of an inverted cross. On the wall beside his body is a series of numbers, daubed in the victim’s own blood. They reveal a plot to release a hellish strain of the H1N1 (SARS) virus into the world’s population, which could kill as many as the 50 million wiped out globally during the ‘Spanish Flu’ epidemic of the early twentieth century. If you think this book has no relevance to your life, then think again. St Malachy’s prophecy predicts that the final pope will usher forth ‘The End. When the terrible judge will judge his people’. We currently see the penultimate pope in the Vatican and exactly what ‘The End’ will be we can only guess at...

About the author
Kelly has always wanted to write. Thankfully, her spelling has improved somewhat since her first attempt at authorship, aged seven, when she penned ‘The Book of British Brids’. Kelly has meticulously planned her professional career around ‘buying her own freedom’ in order to have enough time to write the books that lurk inside her, and felt she’d achieved that when she bought her house on the Internet and moved to Spain to ‘write whilst looking at the Mediterranean’. Numerous is her first thriller, which she loved writing. An earlier book (yet to be re-edited and published) was a darkly comic farce compared to Tom Sharpe by Penguin Books. She is now starting her second thriller provisionally entitled AC, a brief synopsis of which will appear here in due course. Although British Kelly lives on the beautiful Spanish island of Ibiza, (she loves a party) where she works remotely as an author, journalist and copywriter for various global brands and publications. She also writes the blog, Paradise Remotely, where she encourages others to take the plunge and work remotely from ‘paradise’, something she is grateful for every day.... And wouldn’t you be with that view? Professional Background A professional freelance writer since 1997, when she first began writing comedy pieces for the website, Your Source, which even spawned a comedy night, Kelly has since held six online editorships and been a columnist and regular contributor for several publications. Kelly has previously written for The Sun Newspaper’s Ibiza Exposed section and was a columnist for the male publication Lads Mag, writing tongue-in-cheek relationship articles. Further journalistic appointments include travel and show business columnist in high-end glossy magazines. She regularly supplies articles, blogs, editorial & web content, advertising campaign materials, scripts and strategies to some of the world’s most recognisable brands, including Virgin, British Gas, Sony, BA and Orange. Kelly has also ghost written for celebrities, (whom shall remain nameless) and is even the written voice of that world famous icon, Hello Kitty, on her Pynkiss high-end fashion brand.
