True Crime Mysteries
Hi everybody,
I���m so sorry I���ve been quiet over this past year but I have been working, I promise. However, my fiction novels have taken a back seat to a number of True Crime Mysteries that I���m certain you will love.
We have a trilogy of Christopher Watts books, (the man who killed his beautiful pregnant wife and two sweet daughters) which consists of two books of FBI transcripts, transcribed police bodycam footage, and court documents, plus one book of popular theories that will blow your mind and break your heart.
Then there is a series of MISSING books. Several well-known, unsolved missing person cases from the UK.
And finally,
Lori Vallow, Doomsday Cult Mom - The Missing Children
This is another mind-blowing story that is currently in the US news. This tragic case gets crazier and crazier the more you read, beginning with two missing children and ending with several unexplained deaths. Book two will follow the court case which is due to take place by the end of the year.
However, if True Crime doesn���t float your boat, don���t despair, I am currently working on The Watcher 2 (The Lodger) but I���ll send out the details of this closer to release date.��
Hope you���re all well, and looking forward to lockdown being lifted.
Much love,

Legacy of Lies: The Haunting of Hilda
Hi Guys,
I���m thrilled to be able to share my brand new book with you all - Legacy of Lies: The Haunting of Hilda is available at the link below at a special pre-order price.
This book is very close to my heart as it shares with the reader the history of the house we bought and restored in NZ - The Grand Junction was Waihi���s original gold mine manager���s house. The historic facts and tourist info of the town are real but the rest is complete fiction. I���ve attached a few pics below���
These images show the original house before it was moved from the site, the gold bullion store and the hallway as is described in the book. There were strange occurrences that happened that caused me to stop writing this book until I���d moved out of the house, but I���ll explain more about that closer to publication���
Thanks so much for all your support, encouragement and patience as this release has been a long time in the making.
When eleven-year-old Hilda���s beloved mother is imprisoned for murder, both she and her sister Charlotte are sent to stay with their aunt in England.
Now, twenty years later, their mentally fragile mother is due to be released. Hilda returns to New Zealand, and, to her immense horror, finds herself back in their spooky old childhood home. But Hilda is an adult now. She���s no longer scared of her own shadow. Nor does she believe in ghosts���or does she?
Obsessed with finding answers, Hilda vows to uncover the secrets of her past, but what she discovers is more disturbing than she could have ever imagined.
Legacy of Lies is a spine-tingling supernatural suspense that will have you clinging to the edge of your seat.

A Quick Catch Up

OMG! Is it just me or has this year flown by? I can���t believe it���s December already.

This year is going to be our first ���cold��� Christmas in a long long time - brrrr! But I must admit I���m loving being back. Catching up with family and old friends has been amazing.�� Here I am at a recent family do with two of my lovely sisters���
I suppose I���d best talk a little about my writing too! haha. I���m currently working on several new books, one set in my NZ home, then there���s Avaline book 2 with Marcus, and I���ve tentatively outlined Adam Stanley book 5 so next year is going to be a busy one.
Oh, by the way, Behind Shadows for a bargain price of 99p/c for a limited time if you���ve not already read it, why not grab yourself a bargain xx��Amazon

Avaline Saddlebags
Well, release day is finally here!
It���s a day mixed with excitement and pride because amongst many other things, this book is my first co-write with the wonderful Marcus Brown. We have put our heart and soul into crafting a series opener that will pull you in to the story and leave you reeling, but ultimately wanting more from these wonderfully crafted characters.
Sit back, grab a coffee, or maybe something stronger, and dive head-first into���AVALINE SADDLEBAGS -��**DI DYLAN MONROE INVESTIGATES: ONE**
**BUY LINK -��**https://geni.us/cVUJt��
BLURB;

As the body count rapidly rises���each slaying more savage than the last���it soon becomes clear the butchered and mutilated victims have one thing in common���they are all male to female transsexuals.
With time against them, Dylan is forced to go undercover in the only place that provides a link to the victims���Dorothy���s, a well-known drag and cabaret bar in the heart of Liverpool.��
Avaline Saddlebags is a gripping, often amusing, psychological thriller with an astonishing twist that will take your breath away��� change can be DEADLY!
EARLY REVIEWS HAVE BEEN AMAZING!
The Redhead���s review��Aug 24, 2019
From the start the cover caught my attention and I had to know what was going on between the pages. Immediately I was drawn into this story. The suspense and mystery behind the gruesome killings hit within the first few chapters. Who is killing these women? What are the police going to do about it? How many more victims will there be before the killer is caught? My need for answers grew with each page I turned. The story flows so well, I found myself reading until well past my bedtime, only to pick it up again when I woke up the next morning. I love the bits of humor woven into the story. I���ve become invested in these relatable characters and pulled into their lives. The climax is exactly what I wanted. The kind which makes you want to go back and reread immediately to see what you missed. These authors did a fabulous job of keeping me on the edge of my seat, and completely fooling me about who the killer was. I highly recommend Avaline Saddlebags and truly hope there will be more in this thrilling series.

Maggie - Release day!
Well, it���s a fine spring day in New Zealand and the birds are chirping away. It���s funny how a bit of sun can make you feel totally different, more upbeat, even when sitting behind a desk - which seems is my only position recently. However, I realise the autumn nights are closing in for a lot of my readers, which might be a good time for you to curl up with a good book��� one of mine, preferably - hehehe.
Well, it doesn���t seem two minutes since I posted about the pre-order of Maggie, and yet it���s now available for download on Amazon. Added bonus��� it is still at the special pre-order price of 99p/c for a limited time. Check out the blurb and Amazon link below. xx
