Max Davis wasn’t looking to find a girl like Lacey Griffin when he was driving down a dark deserted road. The little damsel in distress grabbed his attention by the balls and wouldn’t let go. He didn’t come from the best background, had partaken in plenty of shady dealings in the twenty-one years of his life. But seeing her wandering around town alone and scared stirred his protective instincts that up until that moment had been dormant.
After her last relationship ends with her fleeing into the night, Lacey sure as hell isn’t looking for male attention. Especially not from one as mysterious as Max. Sparks ignite almost instantly and judgment, along with good old self preservation, evaporate into thin air as the two get swept up in a whirl of passion and tangled sheets.
What happens when a reformed bad boy trying to put his past behind him and forget his family’s dark legacy meets a sweet girl trying to escape a real life nightmare and cope with the curve-ball life threw at her?
This book contains sex, violence and explicit language.
HEA guaranteed. Can be read as a standalone.Sparks Fly
My 6th McCabe/Savage thriller, A Fatal Obsession, comes out on August 21st. Here's the summary: Someone’s watching...
Zoe McCabe is a beautiful young actress on the verge of stardom who has been basking in the standing ovations and rave reviews she’s been getting from critics and fans alike for her portrayal of Desdemona in an off-Broadway production of Othello. As she takes her final bows, Zoe has no idea that, seated in the audience, a man has been studying her night after night, performance after performance. A man whose carefully crafted plans are for the young actress to take a starring role in a far deadlier production he has created just for her.
Portland, Maine detectives Mike McCabe and Maggie Savage are settling into the new rhythm of their relationship when McCabe gets a late night call from his brother Bobby that Zoe, McCabe's favorite niece and Bobby’s daughter, has suddenly disappeared. The NYPD is certain Zoe's abduction is the work of the man the tabloids have dubbed “The Star Struck Strangler,” a killer who has been kidnapping, abusing and finally strangling one beautiful young performer after another. Bobby begs McCabe to return to the New York City crime beat he’d left behind so many years ago, to work his old connections, and to help find Zoe before her time runs out. The stakes for McCabe and Savage have never been higher. Or more personal. And suddenly the race is on to stop a vicious attacker, before the McCabe family is torn apart beyond repair.
The recently released Darius Morefield Mystery Series books could really use some reviews to get it off the ground running. It's a trilogy about three students, Darius a budding sleuth, Alex a zany character, and Myrtle a young lady to be reckoned with, who stumble on murders old and new. There's a dash of paranormal in the first book. Please take a gander at 'The Rocking Crate,' book 1 where Darius becomes supersensitive to the energies and emotions of those around him due to the traumatic death of his father. His sensitivity reveals murders old and new.
'Locked in the Past,' book 2 looks at the last days of Victorian splendor in a small Southern town where the agricultural oligarchs begrudgingly give way to industrial encroachment.
'Orientation to Murder,' book 3 shows the three entering college and again getting involved in a murder when a new friend is accused unjustly.
While they could stand alone, they are best read in sequence to enjoy the character relationships most.
The books are on Amazon, paperback, Kindle, and KU or I can send you a MOBI file. Please review after reading them. Reviews are the lifeblood of authors.

Reckless Love: A second Chance Romance is a friends-to-lovers, second-chance, standalone romance! Jameson
I let her slip through my fingers…
No, that’s a lie. I was reckless and pushed her away.
I was never supposed to fall for her. She was my tutor. My best friend. My fantasy. I tried to stay away. I failed.
Then we graduated and everything changed. All I needed was a step back. A moment to breathe… And by the time I came up for air, she was in the arms of another man.

Until it ends.
Four years later, he’s back. Steamrolling through my life like he never broke my heart to begin with. Only this time, I’m older, wiser and know that second chances are the stuff of fairytales.

She pushes continuously against tribal convention, the imposed role of women, and the dictatorial authority of men, rulers and priests. 19-year-old Wanchese’s short-temper and quest to prove himself worthy of his deceased father's expectations lead him several times into dangerous conflict with one of his tribal ruler’s essential subordinates and into life and death combat.

Blake's Rule will be published July 24, 2018 by Sundown Press. Here's a blurb:Blake’s rule has always been to do what’s right…not what’s easy.
Range detective Sam Blake is after cattle rustlers—but when a beautiful woman is accused of murdering her employer, he has to step in and see justice done. Miriam had her reasons for the brutal killing, and though she’s not talking, Blake understands there’s more to this crime than meets the eye.
When the local sheriff, James Fremont, asks Blake to spirit Miriam and her two children out of town before a lynch mob comes for her, he agrees. But Cyrus Diebler, the influential rancher who is intent on seeing her pay for her crime, is not about to be stopped. He will go to whatever lengths he must to see her dead, though it means putting his own family in harm’s way.
As Blake and Miriam stay one step ahead of the relentless Diebler and his deadly henchmen, a relationship begins to build between them. When Blake learns the real story behind the murder, and the dark secrets of Diebler’s motivation to see Miriam dead, he vows he will protect her and her children at all costs—even if it means his own life.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... This memoir - 'So, what next - a look, with hindsight, at the modern world -was written as a way of coming to terms with the loss of my husband and best mate, who died suddenly after 38 years of great partnership. While writing it, I also realised that at my great age I had lived through quite a lot of modern history, so it became a commentary on 20th and early 21st century events. It includes many world changes, the Cold War, climbing, long distance canoeing, recovery from addiction - and the hope that our world will recover from the problems with which we have afflicted it. It also covers the life story of my late husband, George Spenceley, a Bomber Command pilot and prisoner of war in World War 2 and a climber who has a glacier named after him on the Antarctic island of South Georgia.
It was published as a Kindle eBook in August 2017 and as a paperback in February 2018.

Sever the Circle by Amanda LeanneLife for me and mine was set. Wood Women, witches to many, had a cycle. There were only two Wood Women alive at a time, a mother and her daughter. As the daughter beget her own, her mother would cease to be. But that wasn't the only circle that justified our life.
The town was ours and we belonged to them. The crops flourished and the seasons changed, as was our want. We wove the tapestry of the town, trimmed the frayed threads, added the new ones, removed those that had faded, and kept the picture beautiful and trapped within a bubble of our making. They knew only of which we wanted them to, no more or less,.
As stories are often about a change, a disruption, so is this one. The circle of the lives of the Wood Women, the life of the town, and the sphere we had built to keep it all contained in was challenged, attacked, and eventually severed. There was another darkness in the night, untouched by moon and fire, and it held the secrets that would be our undoing.
"I am a Wood Woman. One from a long line of Wood Women. We are the forest, from and of, and we are the caretakers of the town. We see and we mend, we care and we tend."
"I don't understand." His eyes were narrowed as he searched my face. As much as he complimented me on my observations, he was a bit keen, himself. "If you are saying what I think you are saying, I am unsure how to proceed."
"Would you burn me at the stake for healing the sick? For helping women birth babes? For making sure the harvests are good and rains come when needed?"
"No, not for those things."
"But for other things? Do I sacrifice the young and eat their hearts?" I couldn't help but laugh, a deeper laugh than I had ever felt any time before. His face was frozen but then cracked, his lips widened into a reluctant smile. "I assure you that all I hunt in the forest is small game, not humans, and that I prefer my meat well cooked. Stews are nice and keep for days."
"I see. Do you not have a being you pray to, though? An entity that holds your hand and controls your heart and mind?"
"Only myself, Zariah. There are no devils or demons here."

Well, its taken longer than expected but my new third book Wild Seas has now been published on Kindle. It can be purchased on Amazon (link below) for £1.99 or $2.61. The hardbacked version will be out in the near future.This time I've veered away from the usual Romantic Suspense I have written about before in Darkest Obsession and A Way to Escape and moved to a more family-based drama of both love and tragedy. I have taken again inspiration from my local surroundings. Flinick, where the story is set, is based on the local fishing/seaside resort of Seahouses and the Fable Isles are really the Farne Islands.

Award-winning criminologist R Barri Flowers, best-selling author of Murder at the Pencil Factory, delivers again in the gripping new historical true-crime audio short, Murder of the U.S. Attorney: Congressman Sickles’ Crime of Passion in 1859On February 27, 1859, Philip Barton Key II, the 40-year-old US attorney for the District of Columbia, was gunned down while standing in Lafayette Square, a public park across from the White House. His killer was Rep. Daniel Sickles, a 39-year-old New York congressman and lawyer who had a striking young wife, Teresa Sickles, with whom Key had been having an affair.
Upon discovering his wife's infidelity, Sickles became enraged and had the deadly encounter with her suitor. Afterward, he surrendered to authorities, confessed, was charged with murder, and went to trial.
In spite of the cold-blooded and premeditated nature of the attack, Sickles used a defense of temporary insanity for his actions, the first such time this type of legal defense was employed in the US. He was acquitted as a result and the "temporarily insane" justification for homicide or other serious intimate-involved offenses became a common defense for so-called crimes of passion.
Sickles, who was no stranger to public scandals and controversy, was able to effectively get away with murder. He would reconcile with his wife for a short time, continue a career in politics, and become a decorated soldier for the Union Army during the Civil War and a diplomat before dying in his 90s.
His long life aside, taking the life of his wife's lover, Philip Key, in a fit of jealousy would forever remain a major part of Daniel Sickles' legacy, as chronicled in this compelling trip back in time of more than 150 years.
Bonus material includes a complete historical true-crime short, Dead at the Saddleworth Moor, and excerpts from the author's best-selling true-crime anthologies, The Dreadful Acts of Jack the Ripper and Murder and Menace: Riveting True Crime Tales, Vol. Three.

Murder of the U.S. Attorney: Congressman Sickles’ Crime of Passion in 1859 A Historical True Crime Short
WHISPERS...Book 2 of the Sex & Secrets series is now available in both print and eBooks on Amazon! Clara Grace Walker, Author of Glamorous, Dangerous Romance, invites you to set sail for Cannibal Island...if you dare.Reportedly the most haunted place on Earth, paranormal investigator Lila Goodwell has arrived on the deserted, Caribbean Island to film her Halloween special. While she was hoping for the strange occurrences that happen during her month-long shoot, what she wasn't expecting was to encounter the island's mysterious, billionaire owner, Sam Peterson.
Sam makes Lila's pulse race faster than the strange laughter she hears echoing in the breeze, and heightens her senses more than than the strange pirate apparition that threatens her near the island's treacherous cliffs. Her taste in men has always left her heart-broken, and she doubts she'll fare much better where the lonely, brooding Sam is concerned.
Sam Peterson has lost everything. After his wife and children died in a horrible yachting accident, he retreated from the world, burying himself in his top secret work for the Department of Defense. Lost in his own isolate existence, Sam has no need for female companionship...especially the one who's arrived on his island, threatening to uncover the secrets of his work...and who makes him feel things he's vowed never to feel again.
To combat Lila's intrusion into his hermetic life, Sam hatches a plan that will keep people off his island forever, and ruin Lila's show in the process. There are other, more sinister forces, at work on Cannibal Island, however. And while Sam frets over carrying out his plan, and Lila fears losing a man who is already lost, a deadly plan is being carried out that will either bring them together, or kill them both.

"Those that are dead are the lucky ones. Most of the Earth's population has been wiped out. Those that were spared are doomed to go on living in an empty world full of memories and ghosts. Mark is one of those few, surviving in the forest on the edge of his hometown in crippling isolation. His existence is purposeless. He scavenges for what he can whilst doing everything to avoid the Hunters, deadly creatures that stalk through the ruins in search of prey. Then one day Mark finds something on one of his journeys. Something he never imagined he could find. A child. Completely helpless and destined to be the world's next victim. Mark knows what he must do. He takes the child and raises him as his own. But in a world fraught with danger and with no hope of a future, he soon finds himself tortured by his decision. And it won't be long before they face a new threat - one far more dangerous than Hunters - that will push that decision to its breaking point."

Very New Release -- August 8, 2018. The Spy Among Us--final episode of the Christie Cole trilogy.
Allegation 17 Topical, daring and controversial, Fiona Padfield’s new novel takes on the UK’s Family Court system, its sinister machinations and notorious “code of silence”, a method that has broken families and hurt generations of children.
Padfield becomes the literary voice for so many women wronged by a skewed court system.
Allegation 17 is a beautifully written, fictionalised drama based on a true story of a woman’s labyrinthine struggle to save her child from an abusive situation. Her greatest enemies are the ones who promise to protect her: the UK’s Byzantine court system and her own kin.
“It is powerful and affecting. This is a near impossible subject to write about but one that should be written about and read.”
Ellah Allfrey/GRANTA
“sensational and deeply moving …”
Braham Murray/R EXCHANGE
“ a devastating story, very painful and moving, and brilliantly written …”
