If you’re signed up to my newsletter, some of this is stuff you’ll have already read – but what wasn’t included, is what I’m curently doing in terms of my writing. So I guess this is an exclusive? ? Before that though, I’d love it if you would sign up to my newsletter as I do send these out from time to time (no spam, I promise) and if I have any #giveaways – this is where I go for entries! Sign up here!
Ok, ok… so what’s this #exclusive news you ask? I’ve written and submitted Book 5 in the DC Maggie Jamieson series a few months back – release details coming soon. This was the final book in my contract – so technically, that’s it… I’m out of contract. However, while we wait and see how the next two books do, my publisher has asked me to submit some ideas for a standalone psychological thriller – I sent in four ideas – and now I wait! ?? I’ve always wanted to try writing a standalone psych-thriller, so fingers crossed at least one of the ideas piques my publisher’s interest – saying that … I’ve been thinking of others, so all is not lost if those I have put forward are not what they are looking for.
I’ll be honest, I’m not even sure I can write one ???♀️ The thought of a pure standalone scares me and hats off to all my fellow authors who do this on a regular basis. I do like a challenge though – so I’m pretty excited at what dark, sinister and twisty thoughts will invade my head over the coming months. In the meantime, I have quite a lot to look forward to for the rest of the year… so read on! Will Maggie return after Book 5? Who knows… but you still have Dead Secret and the next in the one in the series to enjoy!
Dead Secret is now available for pre order! Ebook releases April 23rd and the paperback comes out July 22nd.

Psychopaths can take root in the unlikeliest soil…
DC Maggie Jamieson crosses paths once again with Probation Officer Lucy Sherwood when a domestic violence survivor stumbles into her new refuge, unable to speak, desperate for help.
Then another case hits Maggie’s desk. A young man has been murdered, and a curious constellation of black dots has been inked onto his cheek.
That’s when DCI Hastings goes missing and Maggie uncovers a shocking connection that turns the case on its head.
Every family may hide secrets, but not every family buries them…
