THE LOVE INTEREST COVER REVEAL!!!

I’m overthe moon to reveal the gorgeous perfectly pink cover for my next novel THE LOVE INTEREST! An enemies-to-lovers rom com coming Feb 24. Pre-order now for a bargain 99p HERE

The blurb:

No man can be as good as the one in your imagination…

Librarian Liv Thomas has always dreamed of writing a romance novel. But she’s stuck when it comes to creating a romantic hero – sadly – lacking anyone in real life to base him on.

When her brother suggests his best friend stay in their shared flat for a few weeks, she can’t believe her bad luck. Aiden Rivers is irritating and pushes all her buttons. Worst of all, he’s gorgeous, has a sexy accent and reminds her of her all-time favourite character Mr Darcy.

Liv finds herself unexpectedly inspired and the leading man in her novel begins to bear an uncanny resemblance to Aiden. He can never find out though: she’d never live it down. Because Aiden can only ever be her love interest in the pages of her book – and definitely not in real life… right?!

A laugh-out-loud enemies to lovers rom com, perfect for those who spend far too much time thinking about Mr Darcy coming out of the lake!

I’m so excited for you all to read it!

The Love Interest coming 02/24

THE LOVE INTEREST 02/24

I realised that I haven’t celebrated the fact that I’ve now had ten books published! Looking at them in a stack together is kind of mind blowing. It’s still hard to believe that my younger bookworm self made her dream come true and became an author

Thank you to everyone who has read one of my books and I’d love you to comment if you have and tell me how many you’ve read!!

I am excited to tell you about my new books soon and hope that this stack will keep on growing

‘Superb sleuthing! I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to Dedley End and can’t wait to go back!’ Heidi Swain, author of The Cherry Tree Café

Once Upon a Crime…

Nancy Hunter and her grandmother Jane Hunter run the Dedley Endings Bookshop, selling crime, thriller and mystery books, in a small, quiet Cotswold village where nothing ever happens…

That is, until the wealthy and reclusive Roth family open up their mansion for the first time in thirty years, inviting the people of Dedley End to a lavish engagement party. 

While everyone is thrilled to finally look around the mansion on the hill, the festivities are quickly cut short when beautiful Lucy, recently married to young Harry Roth, is found dead after being pushed over the first-floor balustrade. 

But who among the guests could have been capable of her murder – and why? 

Nancy and Jane decide to investigate – after all, not only do they own a crime themed bookshop, they were also both named after famous literary detectives – but soon wonder if they’ve taken on more than they can handle. Especially when it seems the killer has worked out that they’re hot on their heels…

Can they catch the murderer before the murderer catches up with them? Or will there be a deadly ending to this story?

A Jam Jar of Time – a poem

Is everyone else finding time is moving so quickly?

Maybe it’s because I’m getting older or it’s just the way life is now but sometimes it scares me how quickly the days feel like they are flying by.

So I wondered what it would be life if we could store time in a jam jar… If you can relate please and share!

Here’s all the details about my new cosy murder mystery…

This book was absolutely tremendous!…this mystery is definitely a five-star read!’ Reader Review

A murder in a locked room… can Nancy and Jane find the key to the case?

Nancy Hunter is on a mission to find her mother. Samantha Hunter walked out on her family and left the village of Dedley End over twenty years ago. For two decades, Nancy has thought her mother was dead…until she discovered she was spotted at a party at a country estate five months ago.

As Nancy delves into the mystery in her own family, the village of Dedley End is rocked by the appearance of Sebastian Holmes, recently released from a long stretch in prison for his part in a jewellery robbery in London. And when someone is found murdered in the local church, it seems that there may be more danger hiding in their sleepy Cotswold village…

Nancy and her grandmother Jane, Dedley End’s resident amateur sleuths and owners of a crime fiction bookshop, set about trying to solve the mystery of just who could be the killer, and how they managed a murder in a locked room – but what they don’t know is that finding the murderer might just bring them closer to finding Samantha. But does she want to be found? And what made her hide away for so many years?

A twisty and unputdownable cozy mystery featuring a grandmother and granddaughter detective duo – if you’re a fan of The Bingo Hall Detectives, Robert Thorogood or The Thursday Murder Club, you’ll love this!
