Coming December 16th. Book 2 in the Criminal Acts series.

So excited to have another book written.

I loved writing this so I hope readers enjoy it too. A cat-and-mouse revenge thriller for fans who love that kind of thing. 😊

My sweet boy.

Sometimes I get very lonely, but Edward makes all things better.

His quiet companionship has reduced so much stress over the past three years since we rescued him, and his mellow, playful nature is a blessing.

#cats are so special. Show me pictures of yours.

Looking for new thrillers for the end of the year? Then look no further.

I’ve read so many books on this list and highly recommend them.

Excellent twists and well plotted stories. Books you won’t want to put down.

It’s one of those days when you want to edit your finished book but someone needs attention first.

And why not?

It’s biscuit time because Edward’s tummy clock tells me so.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

A secret worth killing for.

This is a great thriller; it had me "flipping" through the pages swiftly, because I wanted to see what would happen next.

Let’s just say there is a surprise ending which doesn't disappoint!

That’s good to know. Thank you for the rec.

If you have a favorite author, tell me here.

It’s hard to say just one name as there are so many.

Mine is trad author Jeneva Rose, because I love the way she’s unapologetically Jeneva. Everything is genuine and fun. Oh, and she writes brilliantly too!

Which indie authors do you recommend?

An open book in which the story of a house and clouds and trees has jumped off the pages.

First book of the day is one of my favourite books I've read this year, "Everyone On This Train Is A Suspect".

It's that rare thing of being a sequel that might be even better than the (already excellent) first one... - Michael
