I write police procedurals, psychological suspense and women's fiction with a punch - or grit-lit, as I call it.

I live in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, with my husband and terrier, Dexter (named after the TV serial killer) and makes liberal use of my hometown as a backdrop for some of my books.

You can find out more at my website www.melsherratt.co.uk or I'm on Twitter at @writermels

I also write women's fiction under the pen name of Marcie Steele.

“Childhood is supposed to be the best part of your life but, mark my words, it isn't unless you have loving parents. And even then, it can change in a heartbeat. The world you know and love can disappear totally in a few weeks”
Mel Sherratt, Invisible Victim

“Before that I had been happy in my life; when I met him I was ecstatic. Or so I thought. Funny how love can cloud your judgement.”
Mel Sherratt, Don't Look Behind You

“He laughed as he watched her go. She didn't even sense him. 'Whatever you do,' he said quietly, 'don't look behind you.”
Mel Sherratt, Don't Look Behind You
