It's Publication Day for Fade to Grey!

Yes, it's that time again. Another publication day! And this time it's for my timeslip/time travel romance, set partly in 1983, in Newcastle upon Tyne. My home turf.

Book Blurb

How far (back) would you go for love...?

Sometimes life stagnates, right?
Routines set in.
Life becomes predictable.
Starting a new relationship isn't something you want to do in a hurry after the man you loved turned out to be a lying, cheating, grade-A p****.

I felt like my life had stagnated. Become predictable. Although, getting rid of the grade-A p**** wasn’t a huge loss. I mean, things were good, in reality, I had a nice life. It was just that, it felt like something was missing. I wanted something new. Something different. But, you know, you really should be careful what you wish for because, one day, I stood underneath an archway on an unassuming little back street, and everything changed.

I got something different.
I experienced something new.
Something unbelievable. Incredible. Unexplainable...

I was somehow thrust back forty-one years, to a decade I didn’t belong in. Six years before I was born.
Was I scared? Yeah. Of course I was. Who wouldn’t be?
Did I think I was going mad? At first, yes.
But then I met him. Zane. A man who belonged in 1983. I didn’t.
A man I shouldn’t have had feelings for. But, hey, everyone loves a curve ball, right? No. Not this one. Definitely not this one.
I’d been given a way to travel between decades, and I didn’t know why. Because there had to be a reason, I was certain of that. These kinds of things – weird, crazy things – they didn’t happen to people like me, so, there had to be a reason. A reason why I met a man like Zane, in 1983. A reason why I had to lie; keep secrets from those I loved in 2025, because nobody would understand. Nobody would believe me.
Nobody.

So I chose to believe in fate. Because everything happens for a reason, doesn’t it?
Possibly.
Maybe.
Definitely…

It's Publication Day for Back To Us!

 

Yes, book number 37 is finally out there. It's time to tell Travis and Reagan's story, and I can't wait for some of you to read it, and hopefully enjoy it. 

Want to find out more? Well, you can try before you buy read Chapter One of my brand new small town, second chance romance right HERE, and see what you think. 

Or check out the book blurb below  👇

When Reagan Crowder finds herself back in Buick, the small town she’d grown up in, after vowing never to return, she has every intention of making her stay a short one. She’s come home purely because her brother, country music star Casey Crowder, needs a break from Nashville, which has been their home for almost five years now. Five years in which Reagan has tried to forget the reason why she left Buick in the first place. Why she joined Casey in Nashville, because that hadn’t been her plan. She’d had every intention of staying in Buick, starting a family, marrying the man she’d been in love with forever. Until something happened to change that. Until she experienced the kind of betrayal that almost destroyed her. And now she’s back, a very different woman to the one who left all those years ago, but despite what she looks like on the outside, inside Reagan can’t ignore the memories being back in Buick kicks up, but it’s okay. They’d also left town, to start a new life together, Reagan had assumed. The man who’d betrayed her. The friend who’d betrayed her. Two people she'd thought she could trust, they’d hurt her in the worst possible way, but they’d left Buick, too. Only, as Reagan soon finds out, they’ve also returned. And that means Reagan has to deal with a whole lot of feelings she’s pushed aside rather than faced up to. Can a visit back to her old home town help repair old wounds, or deepen them…?

Travis Harlow came back to Buick to bury his daddy. No other reason. But finding out their father had left the ranch to him and his brother Jackson: that his dying wish was for him and Jackson to run the place together, what was he supposed to do? A big part of him wanted to run back to Dallas, get out of this town that held nothing but bad memories, but another part of him felt that pull toward family loyalty. He didn’t want to let his daddy down. But this town, there was nothing left for him here. Until she walked back into it. Reagan Crowder. The woman he’d loved. Lied to. Lost. Seeing her again brought back all the guilt. All the pain. Her return meant he now had to face up to everything he’d thrown away, for what? He still couldn't answer that question. And now she’s back, can Travis persuade Reagan to give him the second chance he so desperately wants? With a woman he never really stopped loving…

So, there it is. My latest book baby is finally out in the world. And like I said before, I just hope a few people will take a chance on this story, and make one indie author a very happy writer. 😊

It's Publication Day for 'Saving Grace'!

It was a long time coming, but here we are. Another publication day for another brand new book - 'Saving Grace'. And this one's a little different to the books that have gone before it, but like I talked about in a previous post, my writing seems to be changing as the years go by, and not being tied to a publisher anymore means I can just go with my gut and write about whatever is inspiring me at the time. And this story - I don't know. It's difficult to say what drew me to it, to these characters, all I know is it's a story I loved writing. And all I can do now is hope that some people out there enjoy reading it. It's all any of us authors can do. Anyway, check out the book blurb below, and see what you think...

Book Blurb

Grace

For a long time I’d been fascinated by The Bridge. By the man who headed up this clandestine community in northern California. An enigmatic figure, Emmet Brooks was fiercely protective of his late uncle’s legacy, so when I became one of the few “outsiders” granted permission to step through its gates, I knew I was lucky. Privileged. And what I found was a beautiful place full of love and peace and happiness. I found a man reluctant to open up his version of paradise to anyone other than those who chose to live in his world. Did he have something to hide? Was this commune really too good to be true? And why, after just a few days, did I feel so comfortable in a place that still felt almost unreal?
I didn’t see it, at first. I didn’t see it because I hadn’t wanted to. But he saw it. Emmet Brooks. He saw what I’d chosen to ignore. He knew why I’d really come to The Bridge. And that’s when everything changed…

Emmet

The Bridge wasn’t just my uncle’s legacy, it was his life’s work. And it became mine. I knew nothing else, it had been my home since birth. My family. Of course I wanted to protect it! Keep it safe from the outside world, one that had the ability to infiltrate and destroy everything we had here. Everything we’d built. Created. So, yes, I was reluctant to allow Grace Tyler in. And she arrived with the usual skepticism I’d been expecting from someone who was armed only with snippets of things she’d read. Rumors she’d heard. But the more time she spent with us, the harder it became for her to ignore the reality.
She’d always been destined to come here. Fate had played its part, but she didn’t want to hear that. She didn’t want to believe that sometimes things happen for a reason. There was a reason she came to us. To me. I could see it as clear as day, or, I’d thought I could. But sometimes we need to look a little closer. Think a little deeper. Not be scared to face a truth we might prefer to keep locked away.
I’d thought Grace Tyler had needed saving. I was wrong. She wasn’t the only one who needed saving. She wasn't the only one...

Avery

The Bridge was my home. My sanctuary. Emmet and I, we’d grown up together. Brothers in all but blood. I lived in a place that, to anyone looking in from outside, maybe seemed too good to be true, and yes, nothing’s perfect. But some things come pretty damn close.
Yasmin Rivera came to The Bridge an outsider, hired by me to help us promote our community to the wider population, something Emmet struggled to accept, but in my eyes it was necessary. We had to move on. Change the way we were viewed outside of The Bridge’s gates. And Yasmin, she was key to helping us do that. We worked together a lot, grew closer as time went on, but Yasmin was fiercely private. Surrounded by barriers she was reluctant to lower it wasn’t easy getting to know her as anything other than a work colleague. But I wasn’t going to give up without a fight. If I’d known then what I know now, though, would I have fought as hard? I don’t know. I really don’t know…

Yasmin

I didn’t come to The Bridge by chance. But this job, it was nothing more than a foot in the door. A reason for me to be next to him. Close to him. Avery Wilder. I came to The Bridge because of him. And he needed to know why, but telling him the truth was never going to be easy. Falling for him was never supposed to have been an option, it was wrong on so many levels. But the best laid plans don’t always work out the way you want them to. Mine certainly didn’t. But I should have tried harder to get them back on track.
My mistake was thinking that the truth didn’t matter. That he didn’t need to know why I’d really come to The Bridge.
The truth does matter. It mattered to all of us. Every single one of us. The truth, it changed us all. It changed everything…

OK. So there we are. Another book is out in the wild, and for me it's time to get cracking on another brand new story, one that will, hopefully, not take quite as long to see the light of day. Keep your fingers crossed. 🤞😄
