My latest release, Island Christmas, is out today. This Caribbean Christmas romance prequel is set during World War II in Barbados. When Annie Jones is conscripted as a spy, she doesn't expect to fall in love with her supervisor. But Alex Jones is suave and skilled with explosives so sparks fly when he's training her.

It's forbidden but they can't fight their feelings as things come to a head in one of history's biggest wars.

I can't wait for you to meet these characters and get to know them before the release of Beneath the Sunlit Sea next year!

This short story collection is perhaps my proudest author achievement to date. An entire anthology that has ONLY short-listed, long-listed and award-winning stories. That literally means that each and every story (with the exception of the introduction) has gone through the judging process and was felt to be decent enough to be affiliated with their respective competitions. A big shout out to any judge who ever read my work and thought, "these characters are doing the darndest things but I'm here for it!"

Perfect Read Caribbean Reading List

Ah...June. The time of year when Bookstagrammers put away spring-themed novels and delve into stories set among the volcanoes, rivers and gullies of the islands between North and South America. Spearheaded by its fearless leader Cindy Allman, Read Caribbean ties into National Caribbean Heritage month and focuses on the literary works that define and reflect the various cultures that make up our eclectic region. This year's Read Caribbean Month promises to be especially exciting with lots of author interviews, giveaways and lots more. Read Caribbean will of course feature classics such as A House for Mr. Biswas and In the Castle of My Skin but will also include contemporary new writers who are contributing handsomely to the art form.
I've curated a list of my favourite island books (thus far) and some that I'm looking forward to reading. Caribbean books are available in every genre and many of the ones I picked have received rave reviews and won awards, so feel free to grab one (or a few) of these great books. To make it easier to choose, I've segmented them into categories: Romance, Children & Middle Grade, Literary Fiction and Non-Fiction.

Check out the blurb for my upcoming novel.

I can't wait to hear what you think!

Holden Davis has enough problems: mounting debt, a lifelong feud with his brother and his father's legacy to live up to. If he's honest with himself, he'll admit that hiring an assistant in the dead of night probably wasn't the smartest thing to do either.

But life gets more complex when his funeral home has to process the bodies left behind by a serial killer. The bodies start to mount up, but the clues don't. With no leads, the police are helpless and citizens live in fear as the killer ravages the country. Holden soon finds out that the victims' bodies have all the evidence he needs to lead him to the killer.
