Hi Stephanie, It's so lovely to hear that you'd like a sequel! I won't rule it out, but most of my books are standalones with that extra little twist at the end :)

Thank you, Lee. I'm so happy to hear you've been enjoying them :) I love books by KL Slater, BA Paris, Elizabeth Haynes, and Lisa Jewel. Some stand-out reads for me have been The Golden Couple by Greer Hendricks, The Sister-In-Law by Sue Watson, The Last Mrs Parrish by Liv Constantine, I See You by Clare Mackintosh . . . I could probably go on all day because there are SO many good books out there. Happy reading!

Wow, Jenni, thank you SO much. I'm so sorry to hear about your fiancé. That must have been an incredibly tough time for you and your family. I'm glad to know my books helped bring back your reading mojo - reading has always been my escape, so to lose it is a difficult thing. Wishing you much strength, peace and happiness in your present and your future. Lots of love, Shalini xxx

Hi Ella, So sorry I only just saw your question. Not sure if you ever got around to reading one of my books, but I think my favourite to write was probably The Perfect Family or The Other Daughter. I hope you enjoy if you decide to read!

I have that book on my shelf, but I haven't read it yet. Let me know what you think. Don't bother looking at British politics - it's an absolute mess over here! Too much greed and selfishness as usual.
What a lovely thing to say about my characters. Thank you so much :)))))

Hi Nancy, I'm so pleased you enjoyed it, and thanks for sharing it with people you know! Yes, I've written ten psychological thrillers and they're all similar but different, if you know what I mean. They're all based around domestic situations, but have slightly different settings and twists. If you liked The Perfect Family, you might enjoy my latest, The Other Daughter, or maybe The Best Friend next. Thank you! :)

Hi Rita, So sorry for the late reply. My next standalone - One of Us Is Lying - comes out on April 3rd. I'm currently writing another which will be published in September. Hope your snow has finally melted! Shalini xxx

Aw Donna, thank you so, so much! I'm thrilled you've been enjoying my books. Especially as you're also a fan of KL Slater who's one of my fave authors xx

Hello Kay. I'm so thrilled you're enjoying my books. I've actually just finished the second draft of my next book- The Woman Who Lied - which is now available to pre-order and comes out on April 3rd :)

Hi Rita. Thank you! The Marchwood series is quite different to my psychological thrillers. It's about a 16-year-old girl who inherits a mansion and finds something dangerous in the basement. The story is an epic paranormal adventure with romance and danger. It's set partly in the present and partly in the past. Book 1 is called 'Hidden', Book 2 'Thicker Than Blood', Book 3 'Hunted'. xxx

Hello Rhiannan. I'm so happy you're enjoying my books. Thank you! Yes, I have one coming out at the beginning of July, and another due for release in November :)

Hi Kelli, So sorry for the late reply - I only just saw I had new questions! I'm really happy you're enjoying my books. I've written two Young Adult trilogies, but haven't yet tried writing any thriller series. I think it could be quite tricky to write a psych thriller series as they seems to work better as standalones. But if I ever think of an idea for one, I'll certainly give it a go :)

Hi Vanessa,
I don't have any immediate plans for another book with her. But a few readers have asked the same question, so maybe it's something I should think about :)

Hi Diane, I've just added it, so it should show up sometime today :)

Have you read many apocalyptic novels? The best thing is to read a few and note the themes. Why did society collapse? What is the result? How did people respond etc etc. Good luck!
