Pre-release Available!

It’s so exciting to see The Spice of Life, my story for the JMS Books Valentine’s Sugar or Spice submissions call, live on the JMS Books site with a 20% off pre-release offer.

My story will be released on February 5th, and available on all outlets from that date, with the 20% new release offer on the JMS Books site available until February 12th.

For this one, I’ve gone back to Elizabethan London of the 1570s for a love story between a young serving man and an apprentice to a spice merchant, suddenly thrown together by an alarmingly unexpected event.

In Elizabethan England, Gregory Fletcher’s quiet life as a serving lad for his London relatives is punctuated by trips to the spice merchant’s shop, where he finds the handsome apprentice, Jehan, more intriguing than the exotic goods on display.

When Gregory discovers Jehan is in peril, his instinct is to come to his aid whatever the cost. But will this mean danger for Gregory too?

New release!

My new story, The Spice of Life for JMS Books’ Sugar of Spice Valentine’s submissions call is now on release!

In Elizabethan England, Gregory Fletcher’s quiet life as a serving lad for his London relatives is punctuated by trips to the spice merchant’s shop, where he finds the handsome apprentice, Jehan, more intriguing than the exotic goods on display.

When Gregory discovers Jehan is in peril, his instinct is to come to his aid whatever the cost. But will this mean danger for Gregory too?

At twenty years of age, Gregory Fletcher is content with his life, biding his time as a serving lad for kindly, wealthy relatives in Elizabethan London. Sometimes, he wishes for a spark of excitement in his staid existence. The occasional glimpse of Jehan Zanini, the handsome apprentice of a local merchant, adds spice to his dreams.

Out of the blue, Jehan is accused of stealing from an aristocratic customer. Gregory fears he may never see him again and is concerned for Jehan’s liberty and even his life. When Gregory gets the chance to help Jehan escape his fate, he grasps the opportunity without hesitation. Can Gregory engineer Jehan’s flight from London and the authorities? Might he even clear Jehan’s name? And will their adventure draw them closer or fling them apart forever?

20% off at JMS Books’ new release sale until February 12th.
