They have been waiting lifetimes for you, Kaelia, they want you and will stop at nothing to have you.”                                                          

The warning has rung in Kaelia’s ears ever since she first discovered she’s far from the ordinary girl who grew up in the coastal town of Margate. She has a power and the first time she shows it, death strikes. On the second, she loses someone she loves, and on the third, her mother disappears.

The ones she’s been warned about are the evil in the shadows, the terror in nightmares but she doesn’t know who they are nor has she seen them...yet. Kaelia learns her destiny has been secretly told and passed down through generations awaiting her. They speak of a name - Marrock - whose destiny is entwined with hers but first she must uncover who Marrock is, whether she likes what she discovers or not. Destiny foretells Kaelia’s the key player in a battle which has been brewing for centuries; she is the only one who can stop the world she knows falling into darkness. 

Facing forces of depraved evil, magic, and myth, Kaelia’s search to fulfil her destiny and                find her mother lead her from her home, through magical forests to unearthly realms. Who, or what, can Kaelia trust? Is she strong enough to survive the horror which awaits? One thing Kaelia knows for sure is neither she nor her life will ever be the same again...

Something awful is happening to young women in the town and their lives are being extinguished frighteningly early. As Saze’s life peaks and falls spectacularly and her blog attracts interest and internet trolls, she can’t help wondering if her followers exist only in the virtual or whether she should be looking over her shoulder.

Unveiling Christmas 
A Christmas Novella.

Families silenced by secrets, lost heirlooms and a ruthless killer...who can be trusted?                                    

When Suzy Harte discovers on her wedding day that her bridegroom-to-be has been hiding a huge secret, jilting him at the altar seems the best option. What she didn’t anticipate was he wouldn’t ever make it to the altar either and being found in the church cemetery in her wedding dress with a bloodied knife dripping onto the snow really seals the day as her worst ever.

 Suzy’s life picks up crazy momentum upon discovering her bridegroom found a lost diamond ring worth millions of pounds. The problem is someone else wants the ring and they’ll stop at nothing to have it, not even serial murder. 

As the body count rises, Suzy races to unravel the mystery, stumbling across years of family secrets while the killer closes in.  Can Suzy unscramble the secrets before it’s too late? Will she find true love again? Or will the secrets which silenced many before her lead her to a grisly end?

 Exposing You  -  Scheduled for release 2013

 When something happens to Imogen James’ client and she is caught by the neighbourhood gossips in a  very compromising situation, she fears her reputation’s lost for good.

John Culver’s hectic business life doesn’t leave much room for pleasurable pursuits but things look set to change when he bumps into Imogen. Yet something is holding him back.

One problem is Imogen already has a “no-labels” boyfriend who is jealous over her friendship with a flirtatious Italian. Is John really what he seems? Who is the mysterious Amber who has a connection with him? Can Imogen trust a blast from her love past?

Deceit, hatred, jealousy, and love weave their way into Imogen’s life but is she seeing the real picture or a cleverly constructed forgery? If you can’t trust your own eyes, whose can you?
