The Book 1: THE EVIL THAT MEN DO
His brother was murdered, his ghost wants answers, and Nick McDeare ends up living in the beautiful widow's brownstone to get them. Before he nails the killer will Nick's own demons be exorcised … or will explosive secrets torpedo his last chance at love?
After Broadway star Jessica Brady’s husband is murdered she retreats from the world, until wicked Nick McDeare comes calling--her husband's long-lost brother. A celebrated writer and crack investigative reporter, Nick uncovers a labyrinth plot that turns Jessie's world--and Nick's--upside down. A quirky cast of characters includes wise guys, Andrew’s gorgeous and devious best friend, a dogged NYPD detective, the irresistible Italian heir to a shipping-line fortune, a washed-up actor, and frightened witnesses galore.
"This is a beautifully plotted classic whodunit wrapped in a ghost story set amidst the bright lights of Broadway."--Tom Alan Robbins, Broadway star and playwright
The Book 2: A WALKING SHADOW,
The sequel to The Evil that Men Do, A Walking Shadow places Nick McDeare, renowned mystery writer and investigative reporter, in the crosshairs of danger. Nick is engaged to marry Broadway star Jessie Kendle New Year’s Eve. But when Nick discovers the sociopath father of Jessie’s son Anthony faked his own death and is conspiring with a Mafia don to kidnap the boy, he races against time to save him. To protect her, Nick keeps Jessie in the dark, a decision he will regret, even as Jessie deals with ominous backstage sabotage from a shocking source. Mysteries multiply within mysteries against the glittering Broadway backdrop. Before it’s over, the spirit of Nick’s brother, a rescue dog, and a NYPD detective all merge with Nick and Jessie in a deadly climax to rescue Anthony from the shadows. But no one is safe--not even when you think it’s over …
The Book 3:
Nick McDeare finally has everything he ever wanted. A successful career as a suspense novelist and investigative reporter. A beautiful and talented wife, Jessie, the brightest star on Broadway. And a loving and smart young son Anthony.
But when twelve-year-old Katrina ‘Kat’ Gillingham drops into Nick’s life, it throws his very existence into turmoil. Kat, his daughter from a past affair, forces Nick to confront long-buried memories, ghosts both benevolent and malevolent, hazy images Nick vowed to forget.
Kat stirs the pot for everyone, but no one more than Jessie, who has her own secret she must tell Nick. Timing is everything, and the timing couldn’t be worse. How will her husband react?
And why does a middle-aged woman latch onto Anthony? Is she merely lonely, desperate for a family and someone to love? Or is there more to her forced friendship with the young boy?
To make matters more precarious, close family friend Abbie moves in with them, desperate to hide from a menacing stalker.
Set against the glittering backdrop of Manhattan and London, FULL CIRCLE is a psychological thriller about complex family relationships. About ordinary lives hidden behind a facade of celebrity and money. And about a man who comes face-to-face with his own demons.
The Book 4: DISCRETION
DISCRETION finds best-selling author and investigative reporter Nick McDeare crisscrossing Italy while his wife, Broadway star Jessica Kendle, travels to England. Adding to the international backdrop is a return to the Caribbean island of St. John and the secure walls of the McDeare villa.
Delving into the world of high-end art galleries in Rome, Venice and Tuscany, Nick embarks on the risky mission of finding Ethan Wells. Just who is Ethan and could his shady dealings imperil Nick as well as himself?
Arriving in London with a heavy heart, Jessie rehearses for her West End debut in a much-hyped, multi-million-dollar musical. Is she up to the task, or will the added pressure affect her already precarious frame of mind?
Nick and Jessie’s marriage will be put to the test in DISCRETION as their careers separate them for the first time, as they find themselves in a world where up is down, left is right, and nothing happens according to plan. Will they succumb to old habits, ultimately sending them down a dangerous path?
The Book 5: WHAT’S PAST IS PROLOGUE
A two-year-old boy is abandoned in a church fifteen years ago ...
Nick McDeare travels to Florida in search of this child, a boy who may no longer exist. Using every tool at his disposal, he persists, even when all hope is lost.
What he uncovers is a dark, twisted world where evil truly exists, where the innocent will break his heart. Where talent can camouflage long-buried secrets. And where those secrets can even surprise the victim.
WHAT’S PAST IS PROLOGUE is a novel that seems to come to a conclusion ... and then there’s more.
And just when the plot seems to wrap up ... it doesn’t.
There’s more, much more ... including a startling goodbye.
This journey will forever change Nick McDeare.
And it will change you.

The Book:
Sam Holland’s chilling debut draws inspiration from infamous serial killer cases, culminating in the ultimate, heart-pounding copycat tale.
Detectives Cara Elliott and Noah Deakin are on the case of a series of seemingly unconnected murders, each different in method, but each shocking and brutal. As the body count increases, they can’t ignore the details that echo famous cases of the past—Manson, Kemper, Dahmer, and more. As Elliott and Deakin get closer to unmasking the killer, the murders are moving closer to home.
Meanwhile, Jessica Ambrose is on the run. She’s been implicated as the arsonist who killed her neglectful husband and injured her young daughter. With the help of disgraced and suspended detective Nate Griffin, Jess discovers a shocking link between her case and that of the ultimate copycat killer working on his horrifying masterpiece

The Book 1: Making Wishes at Bay View
Never give up on a wish for a happy ever after…
Callie Derbyshire has it all: her dream job as a carer at Bay View, finally she has found the love of her life. Everything is perfect.
Well, almost.
Ex-partners are insistent on stirring up trouble, and Callie’s favourite resident, Ruby, hasn’t been her usual self.
But after discovering the truth about Ruby’s lost love, Callie is determined to give Ruby’s romantic story the happy ending it deserves. After all, it’s never too late to let love in again. Or is it?
The Book 2: Christmas Wishes at the Chocolate Shop
Although it is the first Christmas book set in Castle Street, it is not directly connected to the other two (although the businesses featured in the other two are mentioned). It can therefore be read before or after Christmas at Carly’s Cupcakes and Starry Skies Over The Chocolate Pot Café.
Sometimes you just need a little Christmas magic to make your wishes come true…
When master chocolatier, Charlee, takes the leap to move to the picturesque seaside town of Whitsborough Bay, she is determined to follow in her grandfather’s footsteps and set up a chocolate shop.
Luckily, she finds the perfect location for Charlee’s Chocolates on beautiful Castle Street… Now she just has to refurbish it in time for Christmas!
With a useless boyfriend and countless DIY disasters, Charlee doesn’t know if she’ll make it in time. With no ‘traditional’ family to support her, she feels lost in her new surroundings and the secrets of the past are weighing her down.
But the warmth and festive spirit of the Whitsborough Bay community will surprise her, and when plumber, Matt, comes to the rescue, it might be that all of Charlee’s dreams could come true this Christmas, and she could learn what family really means…
The Book 3: Snowflakes Over The Starfish Café
Welcome to The Starfish Café – where you will find stunning views, delicious food and lifelong friendships.
Two broken hearts.
Since she inherited The Starfish Café, Hollie has poured her heart into the business, striving to keep her mother’s traditions and warm-hearted spirit alive. But behind closed doors Hollie is searching for true happiness as she grieves the tragic loss of her family who were once the beating heart of the café…
An unexpected meeting.
Jake lives by two rules: don’t let anyone get close and don’t talk about what happened. Little does he know that a chance meeting at The Starfish Café, facilitated by a fluffy lost dog, is about to turn his world upside down…
The chance to love again.
Can Hollie and Jake break down the barriers that have been holding them back from finding love and happiness, before Christmas comes around? After all, with courage, nothing is impossible…
The Book 4: Finding Love at Hedgehog Hollow
Can love really be found when you stop looking for it…?
As Samantha Wishaw watches the love of her life marry another woman, she’s ready to give up hope of finding her happy ever after.
But when a chance encounter leads Sam to find friendship in Thomas – a lonely, grumpy elderly widower living at derelict Hedgehog Hollow – her life is about to change forever.
Glad to have a distraction from family feuds and match-making, Sam vows to fulfil Thomas and his wife, Gwendoline’s, dreams of restoring Hedgehog Hollow to its former glory, and to open a hedgehog rescue centre.
Throwing herself into the task at hand, little does Sam realise that the keys to love and happiness may also be found at Hedgehog Hollow, when she least expects it…
Escape to Hedgehog Hollow for the perfect uplifting, feel-good read.
The Author:
I was born in Teesside but now live in Scarborough on the stunning North Yorkshire Coast. My home inspired the creation of the fictional seaside town of Whitsborough Bay where I set many of my books although the Hedgehog Hollow series takes readers to a gorgeous new countryside setting in the Yorkshire Wolds.
I live with my husband, our teenage daughter and sprocker spaniel, Ella. I'm a self-confessed stationery addict with a ridiculously large collection of notepads who loves chocolate (although it doesn't love me), hedgehogs, 80s music, collectible teddy bears and lighthouses.
Other than a career detour into retail to set up and run my own teddy bear shop (the inspiration for novel Bear With Me), I've always worked in HR, specialising in resourcing, coaching and L&D. Writing always had to take a back seat to the day job until June 2020 when I left the world of HR to become a full-time author. I'm so very grateful to anyone who has bought or borrowed my books in whatever format, helping me fulfil a long-held dream of writing full-time. I still can't believe I get to spend every day chatting to my fictional friends and making stuff up.
*Bonus*
Accompanying this prize is the chance to name a character in Jessica's next major series. Jessica is introducing a new location of the stunning Lake District and the winning bidder will be able to name a character in the first book in that series, out in summer 2023. It will not be one of the two main characters - they've already been named - but it will be an important character in the story. The name will need to be pronounceable and sensible - no Character McCharacters accepted here - and an alternative name may be requested if coincidentally the chosen name has already been used in any of Jessica's previous books.

SIGNED IN AS :
When bidding on an auction item, if you enter more than the minimum increment for an item then your bid will be used for proxy bidding. This is how it works:
1. You enter the absolute maximum that you are willing to bid for an item.
2. jumblebee places a bid on your behalf, using the minimum amount required to make you the highest bidder, i.e. current bid price plus bid increment OR the reserve price, if there is one and it can be covered by your proxy bid.
3. jumblebee continues to bid on your behalf, whenever you are outbid by another member's bid, until your maximum bid is exceeded or the auction is won.
4. jumblebee will notify you by email if your maximum bid is outbid by another member and provided the auction is still running, you will then have a chance to enter a new maximum bid if you wish.
For example:
The current bid on an auction item is £100. The minimum increment is £10. You enter a bid of £150 (your maximum bid).
Using your bid, but increasing only by the minimum increment, jumblebee sets the current bid to £110.
Another person bids £130 but they are immediately outbid by jumblebee bidding on your behalf and the current bid goes up to £140.
The auction finishes and you have won the auction item at a price of £140.
1. You enter the absolute maximum that you are willing to bid for an item.
