A heartbreaking story of resilience, friendship, and self-discovery.
Thirteen is a hard age. Even harder when you lose your mom to cancer. For Hadley, it means being left in the hands of an angry, alcoholic father who chips away at her self-worth until her anxiety is almost crippling.
Desperate for solace, an unexpected friendship blooms - a lifeline woven from patience, respect, and shared laughter. Suddenly, Hadley starts to smile again. Really, truly smile. That is until her father’s outlandish demands ruin everything.
As Hadley grows up, she faces a choice: succumb to her father’s toxic hold or finally put herself first and dare to chase the dreams she once whispered to the stars.

Blurb - Fifteen-year-old Justin Billings wants nothing more than to break the destructive chain of enmeshment clouding his deliberately sheltered adolescence. However, autonomy is fiercely chastised in the Billings household. Justin's newfound dignity threatens his scheming single-mother Wendy's benefit scam, of which Justin's fabricated autism diagnosis serves as an integral cog.
Determined to flee Wendy's unbearable psychological abuse, Justin wittingly enters the north Wales care system. Unbeknown to him, only compounding his brittle vulnerability. While desperate for independence, engrained self-abhorrence sees him perpetually preyed on by society's wolves. Local tearaway and fellow resident, Darcy Quinney, sniffs his diffidence from a mile off, and gleefully assumes Wendy's puppeteer role.

Would you like to read my upcoming novel POORRACOURT before anyone else? I have limited copies available for ARC team members. POORRACOURT is set to release on May 14, 2024.
POORRACOURT is a psychological thriller set in Nigeria's oil-rich city of Port Harcourt. It's full of unexpected turns.
Blurb:
In the quiet oil city of Port Harcourt, a group of cold-blooded killers wielding machine guns kidnaps an innocent teenage girl. Bloodthirsty gangsters seeking revenge, they underrate Jideofor, the clever, relentless former cop who swore an oath to rid society of evil. Yet acting according to plan, they blackmail him to assassinate the former MP under his protection. So rather than give in to blackmail, Jideofor, through might and sacrifice, races against the clock to save his daughter and the politician, no matter what. But beyond the confrontation and betrayal, another terrifying danger emerges. And it’s worse than anything imagined—an oil thief wants his family dead.

I enjoy thriller/suspense/mystery, spicy romance (the spicier the better tbh) and good ol' romance/YA for those feel-good moments. Open to anything, really!
I can get through a book in about 3 days so deadlines aren't much of an issue for me! I can't wait to read some amazing new books!
