The Stepmother – Up For Pre-Order!

Hello there,

Thank you for downloading and hopefully reading and enjoying either Shallow Graves and/or The Mother.

I just wanted, if I may, to drop you a quick line to say my next psych thriller, The Stepmother, is available as an ebook, paperback and hardback on all Amazon sites on 22 November.

The ebook is currently up for pre-order. The paperback and hardback will be shortly too – I am just waiting for Janika, the cover designer, to stre-e-etch the cover to fit.

Let me tell you a little about the book. Here’s the blurb.

She has nowhere else to go. But letting her in could cost Lou everything.

Lou loves her husband Jamie and their four-year-old son Charlie. But caring for Charlie has left her exhausted and barely coping.

Then Jamie’s father dies overseas, leaving his penniless wife, Laura, with nowhere to go. Jamie invites her to live with them.

Lou is wary of having her in her home. But Laura is a godsend. She helps with everything. She understands Charlie. And Charlie adores her.

Soon, Laura has made herself indispensable. Lou can’t imagine life without her.

Until she starts to wonder why Laura really came.

The Stepmother – a gripping psychological thriller about family, trust and the secrets hidden under one roof from the author of The Betrayal, The Psychopath and The Surrogate.

Here is the link so you can take a closer look.

Thank you!

Very Best Wishes.

The Murder Of The Housemaid

Hi,

Well, I said I would not hassle you with emails and here we are – only my second email to you in two months.

I just wanted to email you now, if I may, to say that my first Edwardian murder mystery novella, The Murder Of The Housemaid, is out on Sunday, 31 May, in Kindle and paperback. The Kindle can be pre-ordered now, the paperback goes live on Sunday.

I am utterly hopeless with technology but I think – I hope – that I can at least copy and paste a link for it for you:

Well, it looks good this end – please do let me know if it works your end!

I don’t want to take up too much of your time. Just to say, if this novella is well-received, I will write more. I am currently finishing my next psych, The Stepmother, and that should be out in July. I am also writing a couple of film scripts for 2027 but the production company made me sign NDAs so that’s about all I can say at the moment.

One last, thing, I think you have probably read my two free e-novelettes, Facing Evil and The Mother – if not, please do get back to me.

Hope you are keeping well. Thanks for reading. I will, if it’s okay with you, email again at the end of next month.

Very Best

The Mother – New E-Novelette!

Hi

I’m pleased to say my new psych novelette is now available…

Elsa lies at the bottom of the staircase, broken and dying.

She waits for her son or her daughter to call her mobile phone. It’s upstairs. She can barely move, let alone go and get it.

When they call, they’ll soon realise something is terribly wrong. She always answers.  

One or other will come to her, she’s sure of it.

But which will it be? The one she loves? The one she hates? And who will live and who will die?

If you’d like to have a read, please click this link. There are other freebies available. The Mother is at the bottom…
