Release of BEAUTIFUL FREAKS.  OCTOBER 31st 2012

Set amongst the rookeries and decadent clubs of Victorian Soho, Beautiful Freaks is a kaledescopic narrative blending classic detective fiction with paranormal romance and gothic fairytales. 


When London is gripped by a series of paranormal murders, Inspector Steptree finds himself embroiled in his most challenging and dangerous case yet. 


Who exactly is the mysterious Evangeline Valentine? How is the strange and beautiful boy Kaspian Blackthorne linked to such heinous crimes?


There's one thing for sure,  nothing is quite as it seems.

DECEMBER 2011
THE FOREST OF ADVENTURES REACHES #1

During the month of December 'The Forest of Adventures' charged  up the bestsellers charts of Amazon.co.uk; reaching the exciting postition of #1 bestselling Fairytale in early December and #9 Paranormal Romance (just 2 places behind Meyer's Twilight)
It has been a wonderful month for gaining new readers of The Knight Trilogy. It's one thing to have a reader pick your book from the half a million e-books on Amazon.co.uk but what is most humbling is when they go on to buy #2 of the series. Really need to crack on with the writing of #3 now!

AUGUST 2011

Release of #2 'Immortal Beloved' 25th August 2011

The much anticipated #2 book of The knight trilogy was released on 25th August 2011 in e-book form.

Available on Amazon Kindle and out in paperback on February 14th 2012, Immortal Beloved sees the dramatic, roller-coaster ride of Mina and Blake's lovestory continue.
This time, however, it is up to the damsel to rescue her knight.
