Book Title: A Very Private School
Genre: Royal Historical Biography
Format: Hardback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: Worldwide
The Book:
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
"A tour de force." --The Washington Post
In this poignant memoir, Charles Spencer recounts the trauma of being sent away from home at age eight to attend boarding school.
A Very Private School offers a clear-eyed, first-hand account of a culture of cruelty at the school Charles Spencer attended in his youth and provides important insights into an antiquated boarding system. Drawing on the memories of many of his schoolboy contemporaries, as well as his own letters and diaries from the time, he reflects on the hopelessness and abandonment he felt at aged eight, viscerally describing the intense pain of homesickness and the appalling inescapability of it all. Exploring the long-lasting impact of his experiences, Spencer presents a candid reckoning with his past and a reclamation of his childhood. And now, in a new afterword, Spencer reflects on the aftermath of his memoir's publication, including the outpouring of support and solidarity from fellow abuse survivors.
The Author:
Charles Spencer is an author, historian, public speaker, broadcaster and journalist. He is also the 9th Earl Spencer.
Charles Spencer is the author of seven non-fiction books, including three Sunday Times bestsellers: Blenheim, Battle for Europe, which was shortlisted for Historical Book of the Year at the 2005 National Book Awards; Killers of the King – which was the second highest selling History book in the UK in 2014; and The White Ship, the No. 1 bestseller on Amazon.
He has been the keynote speaker at hundreds of events in the UK, India, USA, South Africa, France, Australia, Canada, Spain, Portugal and New Zealand.
As a broadcaster, Charles Spencer worked for NBC News as an on-air correspondent from 1986 to 1995. He has been a reporter for Granada Television, has presented for the History Channel, and has appeared on many occasions as an expert on the BBC.
As a print journalist he has written in the UK for The Guardian, The Independent on Sunday, The Financial Times, The Daily Telegraph, and others. In the United States he has written for Vanity Fair, Veranda, and Nest magazines.
Charles Spencer was educated at Eton, and at Oxford University, where he earned his MA in Modern History.
Most recently, Charles Spencer has enjoyed success with ‘The Rabbit Hole Detectives’, – his new podcast presented alongside Dr Cat Jarman, and the Rev. Richard Coles – which takes listeners on a fascinating dive into the origins of real and symbolic historical objects.

Book Title: Spy Princess
Genre: History/Biography
Format: Paper (Special 20th Edition)
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
This is the riveting story of Noor Inayat Khan, the descendant of an Indian Prince Tipu Sultan, the Tiger of Mysore, who became a British secret agent for SOE during World War II. Shrabani Basu tells the moving story of Noor's life from her birth in Moscow - where her father was a Sufi preacher - to her capture by the Germans. Noor was one of only three women SOE awarded the George Cross and, under torture, revealed nothing but her name - but not her real name, nor her code name, just the name she used to register at SOE: Nora Baker. Kept in solitary confinement, chained between hand and feet and unable to walk upright, Noor existed on bowls of soup made from potato peelings. Ten months after she was captured, she was taken to Dachau and, on 13 September 1944, she was shot. Her last word was 'Liberte'.
The Author:
Shrabani was born in Calcutta and grew up in Dhaka, Kathmandu and Delhi. She graduated in History from St Stephen’s College, Delhi and completed her Masters from Delhi University. In 1983 she began her career as a trainee journalist in the bustling offices of The Times of India in Mumbai. She moved to London in 1987, and has since then been the correspondent of the Calcutta-based ABP group writing for Ananda Bazar Patrika, Sunday magazine and The Telegraph. She has also written for BBC History Magazine, The Daily Mail, The Daily Telegraph and other publications. Over her long career she has done exclusive interviews with many eminent people including Benazir Bhutto, Sheikh Hasina, Salman Rushdie, Nirad C Chaudhuri and Viv Richards.
She has always combined her journalism with her love of history and all her books have evolved from her observations about the shared histories of India and Britain. She is a Sunday Times best-selling author and her books include the critically acclaimed The Mystery of the Parsee Lawyer: Arthur Conan Doyle, George Edalji and the Foreigner in the English Village, (2021) For King and Another Country: Indian Soldiers on the Western Front 1914-18, (2015) Victoria & Abdul: The True Story of the Queen’s Closest Confidant (now a major Oscar-nominated motion picture starring Dame Judi Dench and Ali Fazal), (2010) Spy Princess: The Life of Noor Inayat Khan, (2006) and Curry: The Story of the Nation’s Favourite Dish (1999 and 2003).

Title: Fifteen Wild
Genre: Historical/Literary Fiction
Format: Paperback :
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: Global
The Book;
A creative re-imagining of the short life of Emily Brontë, one of England’s greatest writers
Isolated from society, the Brontë children spend all their time inventing elaborate fictional realms or roaming the wild moors above their family home in Yorkshire. When the time comes for them to venture out into the world to earn a living, each of them struggles to adapt, but for Emily the change is catastrophic. Torn from the landscape she loves and no longer able to immerse herself in the fantastical world of Gondal that she and her younger sister Anne have created, she is simply unable to function.
As a child, Emily witnessed a rare natural phenomenon. After weeks of rain, the peaty soil on Crow Hill became so sodden that the earth exploded. Since then, her life has been dogged by tragedy and repeated failures. Her sisters are desperate to escape their unsatisfactory work as governesses and now the life of her brother Branwell, the hope of the family, is in turmoil. To the outside world, Emily appears taciturn, unexceptional; but beneath the surface her mind is in a creative ferment, ready to burst forth. As the pressure on her grows, another violent phenomenon is about to take place, one that will fuse her imaginary world of Gondal with the landscape Emily loves so passionately, and which will change the literary world forever.
The Author:
Karen Powell was born in Rochester, Kent and studied English Literature at Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge. She is the author of four novels including The River Within, an early draft of which was awarded a Northern Writers’ TLC Prize, and Fifteen Wild Decembers which was shortlisted for the 2023 Nero Book Awards and named a Best Historical Fiction Book of 2023 by The Sunday Times. She is published by Europa and lives in North Yorkshire.

Book Title: The Miller's Bride
Genre: Historical Romantic Fiction; sagas
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: Global
A BRAND-NEW gripping Victorian Scottish historical saga from AWARD-WINNING author Liz Harris.
The blurb:
When independence comes at a price...
Scotland, 1885
Grace McLeod’s life changes overnight when her father sells the family grocer’s shop and moves the family from their Highland village to a distant fishing town. But Grace refuses to follow.
Desperate to maintain her independence, she reluctantly agrees to an arranged marriage to Angus MacKenzie – a stranger who makes it clear he doesn’t want her, and who is in love with another woman.
When Grace arrives at the mill she now must call home, she finds herself entangled in a web of deceit and ambition. Unknown to her, Angus’s cousin is plotting to take over the mill and destroy her marriage from within, and he’s enlisted Angus’s former lover to help him.
As secrets and sabotage threaten to ruin everything Grace has tried to build, she must decide whether to fight for a life she never wanted – or walk away with nothing.
A sweeping, emotionally rich saga about betrayal, resilience, and a woman brave enough to demand more.

Book Title: Somewhere Beyond the Sea
Genre:
Format:
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted:
The Book:
A magical house. A secret past. A summons that could change everything.
Arthur Parnassus lives a good life built on the ashes of a bad one.
He’s the headmaster of a strange orphanage on a distant and peculiar island, and he hopes to soon be the adoptive father to the six dangerous and magical children who live there.
Arthur works hard and loves with his whole heart so none of the children ever feel the neglect and pain that he once felt as an orphan on that very same island so long ago. He is not alone: joining him is the love of his life, Linus Baker, a former caseworker in the Department in Charge of Magical Youth. And there's the island's sprite, Zoe Chapelwhite, and her girlfriend, Mayor Helen Webb. Together, they will do anything to protect the children.
But when Arthur is summoned to make a public statement about his dark past, he finds himself at the helm of a fight for the future that his family, and all magical people, deserve.
And when a new magical child hopes to join them on their island home―one who finds power in calling himself monster, a name that Arthur worked so hard to protect his children from―Arthur knows they’re at a breaking point: their family will either grow stronger than ever or fall apart.
Welcome back to Marsyas Island. This is Arthur’s story.
Somewhere Beyond the Sea is a story of resistance, lovingly told, about the daunting experience of fighting for the life you want to live and doing the work to keep it.

The most famous necklace in the world has finally been found…

Actress Bryher Finch’s life isn’t just a disaster, it’s a catastrophe that she and her career seem destined never to recover from, until a chance invitation to chart her family tree sends her on a new course. Now, as Bryher discovers the ancestry she never knew about, she stumbles on the discovery of the century. But she’s not the only one who wants the necklace, and if she wants to emerge triumphant, she’ll have to take a page out of Anne Boleyn’s book – risking everything she has left.

Book Title: The Dark
Genre: Folk Horror
Format: Hardback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only.
The Book:
'A hell of a debut novel. Dragonhart is the kind of fantasy that had everything I need; enemies-to-lovers, a strong FMC seeking revenge, magic and DRAGONS’ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
'This is genuinely the first book I’ve read where I can safely say that anyone who liked Fourth Wing will love it!’ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
A brand new fantasy romance for fans of Rebecca Yarros and Carissa Broadbent.
An ancient prophecy. An impossible choice. An inevitable war.
In the newly formed kingdom of Flambriar, Arla Reinhart is growing restless. Her body craves to train, like the assassin she once was. Thara, the dragon Arla is bonded with, fulfilling an ancient prophecy and making her a Dragonhart, urges her to follow her desires.
But Arla has made a promise to Hark Stappen, her priority is to protect the people of Flambriar and keep them safe from the King of Kastonia.
When Arla accepts an invitation to visit another kingdom, she sets in motion the prophecy she knows so little about. She must learn to trust herself and Thara, following a path she believes is right. But a darkness beyond Arla’s comprehension is stirring and she must make a decision that could shatter her heart. Will she betray the people she loves most?

Book Title: Mistletoe and Mulled Wine at the Christmas Campervan
Genre: Wholesome Romance
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
The Christmas Cocktail Campervan – bringing love, laughter and friendship from coast to coast . . .
The gorgeously romantic new novel in the ‘Cosy Campervan series’ – next stop: Christmas markets, mince pies and kisses under the mistletoe!
Christmas feels like a real gift for Lucy this year. Her cosy coastal cottage is starting to feel like home, her new pizza business is getting the locals ‘All Fired Up’, and she can’t wait to spend it with her new flame Jack, the charismatic owner of the Cocktail Campervan.
Winding along the snow-dusted Northumberland coast for a whirlwind of Christmas markets and celebrations, Lucy and Jack can’t resist stealing a few kisses under the mistletoe. But there’s a twist in their romantic tale when Lucy’s ex turns up in the village. As her past closes in, Jack becomes increasingly distant. And Lucy worries he’s holding back a few secrets of his own . . .
Will Christmas bring a cold spell for Lucy and Jack? Or could it really be the most wonderful time of the year?
The Author:
Family, friends, good food, a glass of bubbly and, of course, a great book make me smile. I love writing emotional stories about love, loss and relationships, that explore how complex and yet beautiful love can be. I also like to write romantic comedy, letting the characters have a bit of flirty fun too! Stunning Northumberland is my home - sandy beaches, castles, moorland hills and gorgeous countryside that inspire my writing.
I believe in following your dreams and working hard towards them, which led me to a publishing deal (woop!) with HarperCollins.

Book Title: The Lake
Genre: Thriller
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
Secluded. Luxurious. Deadly. A gripping new page-turner from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Chalet and The Cruise
Still waters hide dark secrets …
A remote Scottish lake
The guests arriving at Creaglie Castle are expecting discreet luxury, panoramic views, and perhaps a glimpse of one of its infamous ghosts.
No means of escape
When a violent storm severs all contact with the mainland, it’s not the spirits they need to fear…
Trust no one
As the past resurfaces and trust vanishes, it's clear that not everyone will be leaving Creaglie Castle alive.
Will The Lake give up its secrets, before somebody else dies?
The Author:
I am a freelance travel journalist and author living in the South of France with my husband, cat and chickens. We moved from London in 2009 so that our children could grow up bilingual and we could all ski more, and to enjoy a more relaxed pace of life.
I learned to ski on a school trip when I was 14 and have loved it ever since.
I'm an avid thriller reader and have been since I discovered Agatha Christie as a child.
The Chalet was my first published full-length novel, which became a top five Sunday Times bestseller and was longlisted for the CWA New Blood Award. Since then I have written five more thrillers published by Harper Collins in the UK and translated into several languages. In France, The Cruise (La Croisiere) won the Prix Polar British 2024.
Other than skiing and reading I love travel, rollercoasters, and I spend far too much time on social media. Some of my other favourite things include Alan Partridge, true crime podcasts and salt and vinegar crisps.

Title: Three For A Girl

Bids Accepted: UK only
The Book:
ALL GRACE WANTS IS FREEDOM FROM FEAR
After the sudden death of her parents in a tragic car accident, Grace and her siblings are torn apart. A distant uncle begrudgingly takes in Asha and Eva—but there’s no room for Grace. Instead, she’s sent to Billingford House, a shadowy institution where oversight is rare, and where Miss Emery’s ruthless rule is absolute. Girls go missing–whispers of darkness lurk in every hallway, faint screams seep from the cottage adjoining Billingford House, a no-go zone for the girls. But they're just stories, right? No one dares to ask questions.
It's 1978, an era of neglected institutions, where suffering festered behind closed doors. Now sixteen, Grace is trapped in a brutal world where survival isn’t guaranteed. The only person who might have saved her disappears under suspicious circumstances, leaving her utterly alone.
There’s only one way out.
She has to escape.
AND IF SHE FAILS—SHE'LL VANISH LIKE THE OTHERS

Title: A Very Italian Wedding
Genre: Romance
Format: Paperback
Signed: Dedication available
Bids Accepted: UK only
Synopsis:
Escape to Italy, to golden sand and a glittering sea, to wedding bells chiming in a tiny hilltop town… Can Rose heal the heartbreak from her past, and take a chance on love?
As the sun sets over a villa in Tuscany, an engagement party is in full swing. The bride-to-be gazes up at her groom, her glass of prosecco glinting in the evening light as she toasts their happy future; but as Rose watches her best friend Lunaswoon over her handsome new fiancé, she can’t help feeling worried. Life has taught Rose that love ends in heartbreak, and all she wants is to protect herself and Luna. That’s why she came up with her Rules for Love: follow these and happiness is guaranteed.
Only Luna is breaking all the rules. She only met Marco a month ago. Rose is sure that love at first sight isn’t real… until she sets eyes on Ben, the best man. Towering above her, with tousled blonde hair and wide, powerful shoulders, he’s irritatingly charming, relentlessly positive and insists that love really can conquer all. Rose’s head is in a spin.
She has learned to never open her heart, never to trust, but Ben is becoming harder to resist…
Will breaking the rules end with Rose breaking her heart? Or will the magic of Italy bring her the happy ending she’s always dreamed of?
This irresistible, sun-drenched story from bestselling author Donna Ashcroft will warm your heart and transport you to Italian shores. An addictive, enemies-to-lovers novel perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan, Jenny Colgan and Cathy Bramley.

Book Title: The Phoenix Retreat
Genre: Thriller
Format: Paperback.
Signed - Dedication is Available.
Bids Accepted: UK Only.
The Book:
DI Cora Snitton is coming back — and this time, it's personal.
The Phoenix Retreat (Book 3)
A secluded retreat. A community with secrets buried deep. And a killer who believes redemption is worth dying for.
The Author:
Donna Morfett grew up in a small town in Bedfordshire, where a love of reading took root early and never left. Books have been a constant companion throughout her life — a source of escape, comfort, and, in more recent years, a powerful tool for managing her mental health.
Like many people, the pandemic brought Donna to a standstill — but she turned that stillness into something remarkable. Juggling a degree in Forensic Science, she threw herself into NaNoWriMo in November 2021 and emerged with her first full-length novel. The writing bug had well and truly bitten.
Her short story Cassie came joint second in a short story competition, and after seeing it given a proper cover and edit, Donna decided to release it — with all proceeds going to charity. It felt like the right thing to do.
Her debut crime novel, The Disappearance of Peter Markham, was published by Rampart Books in May 2024, introducing Detective Inspector Cora Snitton to the world. Following a successful re-release with a new edit and cover in 2025, the series continues with Masquerade of Murder, due for release on 11th July 2025.
In September 2024, Donna was featured as a Crime in the Spotlight author at Bloody Scotland — one of the UK’s most prestigious crime fiction festivals — a milestone that confirmed what readers already knew: DI Cora Snitton is a series to watch.

Title: Betsy's War
Genre: Historical Fiction
Format: Paperbacks
Signed: Dedications are Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
In the 1946 21,000 children in England and Wales were adopted compared to around 3,000 in 2024. From 1949 to 1967 there were 100,000 Forced Adoptions. Between 1899 and 1967, 100,000 children were sent abroad from the United Kingdom to Canada, Australian and New Zealand - many from Liverpool which was one of the main departure cities. During the blitz 70,000 in Liverpool were made homeless. 4,000 lost their lives. Families were fractured and struggled to cope. The children of these families who often turned to religious institutions, were known as Orphans of The Living. Young single mothers, like Betsy in my latest book, felt that they had no choice but to give their babies away for adoption.
The Author:
Eliza Morton was born in Liverpool and worked as an actress. She is known for playing Madeline Basset in Jeeves and Wooster and Lucinda in the Liverpool sitcom, Watching. As well as TV, she has also worked in theatre and film. She trained at Guildhall School of Drama and as a writer, with The Royal Court Young Writers’ Group. She is an award-winning short-story writer and has also written drama for TV, film and theatre. In her formative years at convent school, she spent her weekends playing the piano accordion in Northern Working Men’s Clubs. She lives with her husband - the actor Peter Davison - in Middlesex. She is author of A Liverpool Girl and A Last Dance in Liverpool under the name Elizabeth Morton.

Title: The Scandalous Ladies Football Club by Frances Quinn
Genre: Historical
Signed and can be dedicated
Bids Accepted: UK only
Blurb:
Welcome to the British Ladies Football Club
London, 1897. Minnie Newton – twenty-eight-year-old schoolteacher and women’s rights advocate – has a passion for football. But in Victorian society, football is a men's game. That is, until Minnie decides to take matters into her own hands and place an ad in the newspaper, asking for volunteers to join the first ever women’s football team.
From a motley collection of replies, Minnie puts together a squad. Most of the women have never kicked a ball before – but a little thing like that isn’t about to stop them. And when they take the game public, it isn’t long before they are drawing huge crowds, stirring controversy across the capital and beyond.
But Minnie is hiding an explosive secret. Soon, all the attention the club is getting begins to threaten the life she has built for herself.
Can she walk the line between independence and safety, or will the truth about who she really is finally come out? And is the beautiful game enough to save her freedom?
A story inspired by real-life Victorian trailblazers, who showed the world that women can do anything they put their minds to, even if the world around them says they can’t.
The Author:
I'm the author of The Smallest Man, my debut novel, about a boy who beomes a 'court dwarf' in 17th century England. My latest book is That Bonesetter Woman, set around a century later, in Georgian London. It's about a young woman, Endurance Proudfoot, who wants to be a bonesetter, her sister who becomes a famous actress, a baby left at the Foundling Hospital, an unwise marriage - and some lions!
You might be a bit surprised to see a series of law textbooks here too. It's not a mistake, they're mine as well - it's always good to have more than one string to your bow! But for the avoidance of confusion, I'm not the same Frances Quinn who won Great British Bake Off, though I do make a very good Pineapple Upside Down Cake.

All Three Books of the Pixie Tate Timeslider Series.
Book Title 1: Shadows in the Moonlight (Paperback)
The first book of the Timeslider series.
To settle the restless ghost haunting an English manor in the present day, timeshifter Pixie Tate travels to the Victorian era to solve the mystery of a missing child. There, she accidently meets the love of her life.
A restless ghost. A forbidden love. An impossible choice…
When pixie Tate is summoned to the wild Cornish coast to unravel a curious mystery at the stately St Sidwell Manor, she knows that something quite extraordinary must be hiding in its shadows. Over one hundred years ago, in the dark of night, a child vanished from his bed never to be seen again – and Pixie must now discover the truth of those final moonlit hours. As she loses herself in the past, secrets are revealed, love affairs exposed and, ultimately, Pixie will be forced to make a devastating choice that will change her life forever.
Book Title 2: Secrets of the Starlit Sea (Paperback)
The second book of the Timeslider series.
The moment Pixie Tate steps inside the opulent Aldershoff Hotel in Manhattan, one of the last relics of New York’s Gilded Age, she senses instantly that its elegant walls hide a dark secret.
Pixie knows that she must use her unique gift to travel back in time in order to discover the mysteries of the past, and as she slips back over a hundred years, she’s shocked to find herself in the midst of one of the most famous events in history.
As the stars twinkle overhead, Pixie realises that time is running out. But when she comes face-to-face with a man she thought she’d lost forever, will she keep her promise to save only the souls she should – or is it too late, and has she already changed the future?
Secrets of the Starlit Sea is an epic and stunningly romantic time-travel mystery, and the second book in Santa Montefiore’s sensational new series.
Book Title 3: The Last Encore (Hardback)
The third and final book of the Timeslider series.
One final show.
A love that defies time…
“I started this, but truly, I have no idea how to end it without breaking my heart.”
When Pixie Tate is sent to solve a mystery at the old Aphrodite Theatre in Cornwall, she expects to find another restless spirit waiting behind the velvet curtain.
But when she discovers the theatre is just a few miles down the coastline from where she met the love of her life, Cavill Pengower, she realises that it is no coincidence.
As she slips back one hundred years, Pixie knows she must not only unveil what happened to the woman whose spirit haunts the stage today, but somehow sever this powerful connection with Cavill once and for all.
Yet, as she embarks on this final journey to settle the soul and save the theatre’s production of Macbeth, she fears that this time, it might just break her forever…

Pixie knows that she must use her unique gift to travel back in time in order to discover the mysteries of the past, and as she slips back over a hundred years, she’s shocked to find herself in the midst of one of the most famous events in history.
As the stars twinkle overhead, Pixie realises that time is running out. But when she comes face-to-face with a man she thought she’d lost forever, will she keep her promise to save only the souls she should – or is it too late, and has she already changed the future?
Secrets of the Starlit Sea is an epic and stunningly romantic time-travel mystery, and the second book in Santa Montefiore’s sensational new series.
Book Title 3: The Last Encore (Hardback)
The third and final book of the Timeslider series.
One final show.
A love that defies time…
“I started this, but truly, I have no idea how to end it without breaking my heart.”
When Pixie Tate is sent to solve a mystery at the old Aphrodite Theatre in Cornwall, she expects to find another restless spirit waiting behind the velvet curtain.
But when she discovers the theatre is just a few miles down the coastline from where she met the love of her life, Cavill Pengower, she realises that it is no coincidence.
As she slips back one hundred years, Pixie knows she must not only unveil what happened to the woman whose spirit haunts the stage today, but somehow sever this powerful connection with Cavill once and for all.
Yet, as she embarks on this final journey to settle the soul and save the theatre’s production of Macbeth, she fears that this time, it might just break her forever…

Book Title: 1996: Reflections on the year that changed my life
Genre: Biography/ Sport
Format: Hardback.
Signed by Both Ian and Tony - Dedication is Available by Ian .
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
'Tony Adams calls it a “celebration of recovery.” It’s a monument to candour too. Gruesome memories come with smiles… The fresh detail in his new autobiography, 1996, adds layers that are both harrowing and redemptive as he goes about the work of helping others.' PAUL HAYWARD, The Observer
It was the summer of Euro 96 and England was in party mood as the nation hosted a major tournament, revelling in watching Gazza and Co reach the semi-finals. For the national team's captain Tony Adams, though, it masked a misery that had been building all year, with his wife leaving and his children being removed from him as a result of his dangerous and damaging drinking.
Following Gareth Southgate's crushing penalty miss against Germany, Adams proceeded to embark on a 44-day bender to drown sorrows that learned how to swim and led him into some seamy, sordid situations. Finally, he could take no more and desperation drove him to quit the booze and get help. A year that had begun in dark despair would end in a new lightness of being.
In 1996, Adams revisits in candid, graphic detail that year when football came home but England's thirty years of hurt continued. And, as he reaches his 60th birthday, he reflects with trademark honesty and accumulated wisdom on his own remarkable thirty years off hurt.

Book Title: Kringle's Emporium:
Book Kringle's Return:
Genre: Children - Christmas
Format: Paperbacks
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
Kringle's Emporium:
An action-packed, award-winning series for ages 8 and up! Unwrap magic this Christmas with 25 festive chapters for all the family to enjoy.
When Laney and Ben stumble through the door of Kringle’s Emporium, they step into a world of hidden wonders. But the emporium is more than a shop of curiosities. It is Kris Kringle’s travelling hiding place, and the magic of Christmas is in danger.
Along with Ben’s mischievous sister Millie, the pair decipher the shop’s enchanted objects to face a global mission. All the while, they must avoid the shadowy organisation threatening to steal Kringle’s powers and the school bullies determined to ruin their unlikely friendship.
As snow falls across the town of Six Pines and the clock ticks towards Christmas Day, Laney and Ben discover that courage - and magic - sparkle in the most unexpected places.
Kringle's Return:
When the mysterious Frost Fair arrives in Six Pines, Laney and Ben are certain it means one thing: Kringle's Emporium has returned. But beneath the fair's sparkling lights, danger is stirring, and the magic of Christmas is under threat once more.
Joined by Ben's mischievous sister Millie and Laney's streetwise brother Sean, the friends uncover new enchanted objects within the emporium as they race to stop a powerful corporation determined to capture Christmas magic for itself. All the while, old enemies close in and school bullies threaten to pull them apart.
As Christmas draws closer and the Frost Fair's influence spreads across Six Pines, the friends discover that the greatest magic of all may be the courage to stand together.
The Author:
Hello! My name is Jemma, and I write stories for the young and the young at heart!
Over the years I’ve lived and worked in London, Exeter, New York and Delaware, and am now living close to where I grew up in Sevenoaks, Kent.
I’m best known for The Adventurers Series, featuring a group of children and their Border collie as they travel everywhere from Cornwall to Cairo in search of treasure, adventure and fun! The series has been translated into Estonian, Finnish, Polish and Spanish to date, and won the inaugural Children’s Selfies Award in 2020.
In 2023 Secrets at No.6 was released: the first book in my new mystery series set in Edwardian London.
Previously in 2021 my first non-Adventurers book, The Treasure of Tea Towers, was published by Klett Sprachen in Germany.
Reading has always been one of my favourite things to do; during reading hour at primary school I would become so absorbed in imaginary worlds that at the end my name would have to be called several times before I’d notice! One teacher even arranged a hearing test for me! (My hearing was fine – my listening skills, not so much!)
A good book becomes like an old friend, being revisited again and again. I hope to entertain young readers with adventures and laughs to enjoy alongside the characters.

Genre: Urban Fantasy.
Format: Paperback
Signed: Dedication is available.
Bids accepted: Global
The Book:
Having gathered all 12 of the 16/87s – those who slip through time on each full moon – together, Jess still feels alone. It seems each of their lives are falling apart, and she still doesn’t know what to do with the information they found out from the timeslip.
Jess also doesn’t know what role ‘The Chronos Club’ is going to play, other than their members all experience full moon disappearances too, with each group born a decade before the next.
Dieter from the 15/44s seems to be the key, but Jess has no idea how the pieces of the jigsaw fit together.
They don’t feel remarkable, experiencing the same love, loss, betrayal, pain, marriage, births and deaths, as anyone else, yet having to deal with the consequences of having jumped three years into the future and back again.
They know what’s coming and they’re going to try to stop it.
The Author:

The Book:
Having gathered all 12 of the 16/87s – those who slip through time on each full moon – together, Jess still feels alone. It seems each of their lives are falling apart, and she still doesn’t know what to do with the information they found out from the timeslip.
Jess also doesn’t know what role ‘The Chronos Club’ is going to play, other than their members all experience full moon disappearances too, with each group born a decade before the next.
Dieter from the 15/44s seems to be the key, but Jess has no idea how the pieces of the jigsaw fit together.
They don’t feel remarkable, experiencing the same love, loss, betrayal, pain, marriage, births and deaths, as anyone else, yet having to deal with the consequences of having jumped three years into the future and back again.
They know what’s coming and they’re going to try to stop it.

Title: The Approval of Sheep
Genre: Uplit
Format: Paperback
Signed: Dedication is available
Bids accepted: Global
The Book:
*Finalist for the UK's Presitgious Joan Hessayon Award*
Gordon Slee fears he was never meant to be born. Anxious since childhood after hearing he was an accident, the forty-two-year-old is still struggling to escape the shadow of his high-achieving family.
But a glimmer of hope is on the horizon – a huge promotion within his hotel group is up for grabs, and he is sure that his time has come to make a mark on the world.
However, within his own department, redundancies are afoot. He may lose his job before he gets the chance. Until he learns of a historic covenant that preserves the right for sheep to run through the company’s top London hotel. Could he convince his boss that he’s the man to save the hotel from catastrophe?
Up in Bryn Nefyn, North Wales, live the descendants of the covenant owner. The elderly sheep farmer and his aging hippy brother could use the money the hotel might offer. But along with their strong-willed American shepherdess, they laugh at Gordon’s attempts to negotiate a deal. Surely, they couldn’t use a covenant that’s been forgotten about for over a hundred years.
Or could they?
For lovers of upmarket commercial fiction with a touch of romance and comedy, The Approval of Sheep is an uplifting story about family and love, overcoming adversity and discovering our reason for our place in this world.
“Accomplished, funny, touching and clever' - bestselling author Stephanie Butland
“This idea is brilliant. I can see this as a movie.” Sophie Hannah, Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author.
“Parts of it made me laugh out loud.”Mark Stay, bestselling author and presenter of the Bestseller Experiment podcasts.
'This book is sooo amazing. I can't put it down!' - bestselling author Helga Jensen
"If you are looking for something completely different, Karen Storey's book The Approval of Sheep is a brilliant find," just one of many Five Star Amazon reviews.
"Heartwarming, funny, witty, original... when you need to read about hope and new beginnings." Annarella, Book Blogger

Title: Her Sister's Killer
Genre: Crime
Format: Paperback
Signed: Yes, dedication available
Bids Accepted: Worldwide
The Book;
Newly promoted Inspector Frankie Oliver has always been consumed by the idea of finding her sister's killer and bringing them to justice.
But when new evidence about the tragic unsolved murder comes to light, and her former boss DCI David Stone embarks on an investigation without her, everything starts to unravel.
After decades without answers, who knows where the trail might lead? And will knowing the answers be the very thing that breaks Frankie irreparably?
The past and present collide with devastating consequences in this taut, breathless new thriller from award-winning crime writer Mari Hannah.
The Author:
When an injury on duty ended my career as Probation Officer, I began writing. I am the author of the Kate Daniels and Ryan & O’Neil series published by Pan Macmillan and the Stone & Oliver series published by Orion. My debut, The Murder Wall, was written as a TV pilot for a BBC Drama Development Scheme - before the adaption. The novel won the Polari First Book Prize. Before becoming an author, I fell in love with scriptwriting and submitted speculative original dramas to the BBC Writersroom. I've also written a romantic comedy feature film that I hope will find a producer one day. In 2010, I won the Northern Writers' Award for my second novel, Settled Blood. And in 2017, I won the Dagger in the Library for my body of work. I'm represented by AM Heath literary agent, Oli Munson, and live in Northumberland with my partner, a former murder detective.

Set of Three Great Hardback Books
Title 1: The Romanovs Under House Arrest
Title 2: Rasputin and his Russian Queen
Title 3: The Anne Boleyn Bible
Genre: History - Biographies
Format: Hardbacks
Signed: Dedications Available YES
Bids Accepted: UK Only
Title 1: The Romanovs Under House Arrest
Although many books cover the lives of Russia’s last
royal family in some considerable detail, their time
spent under house arrest in their own domestic home –
the Alexander Palace, outside St. Petersburg – is often
explained in a few scant pages, or a chapter at most.
But when set against the Revolution and the abdication
of the Tsar, these few months from February to August
1917 take on tremendous significance and deserve to
be studied in detail. Therein, as events spiralled out of
control, the Romanovs would find themselves virtual
prisoners in their own palace.
Worse still, with the aforementioned Tsar –
Nicholas II – away and ensconced in the vicissitudes
of World War One, it was left to his wife Alexandra
– favourite granddaughter of Queen Victoria – to
commandeer a household increasingly under siege.
She did this with aplomb, whilst simultaneously caring
for a haemophiliac son and four daughters laid low
by life-threatening measles. Alexandra’s boast that she
was the one who ‘wore the trousers’ was thus put to the
test in the hardiest of scenarios, as she found herself
forced both to bolster a flagging palace garrison against
the possibility of attack by bloodthirsty insurgents,
whilst attempting to hold together a domestic staff
increasingly fearful for their own lives in the face
of mob retribution. Meanwhile, the German High
Command set about releasing a veritable human
bacillus – Lenin himself – back toward his native
Russia, in a novel attempt to destabilise the Russian
war machine further still.
Not simply a blow-by-blow account of the daily lives
of a monarchy defiled, this book runs in tandem with
the Russian Revolution as it surges out from Petrograd
and toward the idyllic suburbs that the Romanovs
called their home … without Rasputin to rally them,
who can save the dynasty now?!
Title 2: Rasputin and his Russian Queen: The True Story of Grigory and Alexandra
RASPUTIN’S RELATIONSHIP with Russia’s last Tsarina, Alexandra, notorious from the famous Boney M song, has never been adequately addressed; biographies are always for one or the other, or simply Alexandra and her husband Nicholas. In this new work, Mickey Mayhew reimagines Alexandra for the #MeToo generation; ‘neurotic’; ‘hysterical’; ‘credulous’ and ‘fanatical’ are shunted aside in favour of a sympathetic reimagining of a reserved and pious woman tossed into the heart of Russian aristocracy, with the sole purpose of providing their patriarchal monarchy with an heir. When her longed-for son then developed haemophilia, she turned to the one man capable of curing the child’s agonising pain – Grigory Rasputin. Some say that between them, Grigory and Alexandra brought down 300 years of Romanov rule and ushered in the Russian Revolution, but theirs was simply the story of a mother fighting for the health of her son against a backdrop of bigotry, sexism and increasing secularism. She liked to pray and he liked to party, but when they found themselves steering Russia through the First World War, her gender and his class gave society no option but to destroy them. Bubbling with his trademark bon mots, Mickey Mayhew’s latest book breathes fresh life into two of history’s most fascinating – and polarising – figures. This is the real story of Rasputin and his Russian Queen.
Title 3: The Anne Boleyn Bible
Anne Boleyn sells, but she sells in segments; a biography here, a study over there on her guilt and something else yonder concerned with where she lived or what she liked to wear. This book, covering not just her life but her life onscreen, in theatre, on TV and also the impact of the first black actress to play her, is the definitive, all-encompassing story of Anne Boleyn from 1501 (or thereabouts) to 2023. Having examined the ardent fandom of Anne Boleyn for his doctorate, Dr Mickey Mayhew is in a unique position to offer something new to say on this much-discussed 'tragic' Tudor queen and is not afraid to tackle some of the less palatable aspects of her life. Also, this book is the first to examine with authenticity the reality of Anne's relationship with the most important man in her life, the man whose name she repeated in comfort whilst facing the Swordsman of Calais on the scaffold, having spent her life promulgating his doctrine; Jesus Christ himself. As for the aforementioned executioner, Dr Mayhew's research in Calais and Saint-Omer can now lift a lid on a few of the particulars of this elusive and yet essential figure of Anne Boleyn mythos; and yes, now he even has a name as well. The Anne Boleyn Bible also offers a straightforward retelling of Anne's actual historical life, albeit one that outlines an entirely fresh and empowering perspective on her rise to prominence; this is followed by a series of considered arguments on the 'for' and 'against' in regard to her guilt & execution; then her entry into popular culture, firstly in plays and masques, before she went on to headline movies, TV series, cosplay, and now, with the first black woman to portray her, model and actress Jodie Turner-Smith. This book is simply what it says on the cover - The Anne Boleyn Bible - leaving no depiction, no religious aspect, no appearance in popular culture, from The Simpsons to the West End musical 'Six', overlooked; likewise, Dr Mayhew also turns his trademark brand of rather wry commentary toward the vast plethora of Anne Boleyn merchandising, tourist spots, rubber ducks, beanies and the wrangling question of who was the ultimate onscreen Anne; Genevieve Bujold or Natalie Dormer?!
Author Bio:
Mickey Mayhew is an author and historian from London, working mainly on Mary Queen of Scots, Anne Boleyn, and the Romanovs; he has a PhD focusing on the online ‘tragic queen cult’ surrounding Mary and Anne. He wrote ‘The Little Book of Mary Queen of Scots’ (published by The History Press) in 2014 and then ‘I love the Tudors’ (published by Pitkin Publishing) in 2016. ‘House of Tudor – A Grisly History’ and ‘Imprisoning Mary Queen of Scots – The Men Who Kept the Stuart Queen’ were released by Pen & Sword Books in 2022. ‘Rasputin and his Russian Queen – The True Story of Grigory and Alexandra’, will be released in March 2023, with ‘The Anne Boleyn Bible’ due in August.
Previously to this, he was co-author on three books relating to Jack the Ripper, whilst fictional work includes the urban fantasy trilogy ‘The Barrow Boys of Barking’, beginning with ‘Jack and the Lad’ and concluding, for now, with ‘Jamie’s Big Bang’. His tongue-in-cheek memoir ‘Mickeypedia’ is also now available, with all proceeds going to the Anna Kennedy Online autism charity.

Book Title: The Queen of Bushy House
Genre: Historical Fiction
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: Global
The Book:
One house. Two women. Both determined to endure.
July 1818. Dorothea Jordan – celebrated actress and long-time companion of the Duke of Clarence – has returned. Not in flesh, but in spirit. For fifteen years Bushy House was her sanctuary, filled with laughter and her ten children – the FitzClarences. Now she watches as her portraits are taken down and her daughters sent away, in preparation for the duke’s new bride.
Princess Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen arrives in England with duty pressing heavily upon her shoulders. At twenty-five, she has accepted a proposal no other princess would take. She must tame the duke’s debts, win over his unruly children and – above all – produce an heir to secure the British throne.
But Adelaide soon senses a presence in Bushy House.
As she struggles to find her place in a household shaped by another woman’s love, the restless spirit of Mrs Jordan lingers – watchful, wounded and unwilling to be forgotten.
Inspired by the true story of Queen Adelaide and the actress Dorothea Jordan, The Queen of Bushy House explores grief and ambition, motherhood and legacy – and the enduring power of a love that refuses to fade.

Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
MEET DETECTIVE NICKI HARDCASTLE IN THIS GRIPPING SUFFOLK-BASED CRIME SERIES.
One broken body. Seven missing teeth. A killer who’s only just begun.
Detective Nicki Hardcastle is midway through painting her living room — she’s supposed to be off-duty — when the call comes in. ‘You might want to see this one, boss.’
Minutes later, she’s standing at the foot of a four-storey townhouse in the heart of Bury St Edmunds. A man lies impaled on a black iron spike, his body blood-soaked and broken.
It appears Jacob Towers took his own life. But the details don’t add up.
Why was the dead man carrying seven of his own teeth in his pockets?
Then a chilling voicemail surfaces: ‘It’s time to pay for what you did.’
Two days later, there’s another death. Just as sudden. Just as brutal. And once again — seven teeth.
Someone is dealing out justice, one gruesome death at a time. And they’ve only just begun . . .
The Author:

The Book:
MEET DETECTIVE NICKI HARDCASTLE IN THIS GRIPPING SUFFOLK-BASED CRIME SERIES.
One broken body. Seven missing teeth. A killer who’s only just begun.
Detective Nicki Hardcastle is midway through painting her living room — she’s supposed to be off-duty — when the call comes in. ‘You might want to see this one, boss.’
Minutes later, she’s standing at the foot of a four-storey townhouse in the heart of Bury St Edmunds. A man lies impaled on a black iron spike, his body blood-soaked and broken.
It appears Jacob Towers took his own life. But the details don’t add up.
Why was the dead man carrying seven of his own teeth in his pockets?
Then a chilling voicemail surfaces: ‘It’s time to pay for what you did.’
Two days later, there’s another death. Just as sudden. Just as brutal. And once again — seven teeth.
Someone is dealing out justice, one gruesome death at a time. And they’ve only just begun . . .

Genre: Crime, Puzzles
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: Global
The Books:
2 Book Lot
Step into the fog-shrouded streets of Victorian London, where Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson await your deductive assistance!
The Puzzling Cases of Sherlock Holmes invites readers aged 12 and above to test their detective skills in a series of quick, clever and darkly comic locked room mysteries. Using the ingenious four clue Detection Formula each puzzling case challenges you to create your own Murder Board to uncover the killer, location, motive and weapon, before Holmes explains his flawless reasoning.
Along the way you’ll encounter characters such as Charlie Chestnut, Arthur Tooth, Jimmy Crowbar and the unforgettable Ken the Fish, while also contending with the unscrupulous Toxic Easter Bunny, Savage Squirrel, Poisoned Pawn and other sinister surprises. From boat oars to killer scorpions to inky fingers, these darkly atmospheric but humorous cases will sharpen your logic, twist your reasoning and keep you chuckling right up to the sinister final reveal.
Praise for Puzzling Cases:
“Each case comprises four suspects, four locations, four motives and four weapons. The puzzler then receives four clues, four hints and four statements to help solve the mystery. Since the book is clearly aimed mainly at teenagers and young adults, I am relieved to be able to say that I was able to pinpoint the villains each time without too much trouble.
“This would be a fun game played alone or in a group.”
“The book contains 42 Murder Board puzzles. Cases with suspects, clues, weapons, statements etc, and you have to solve each case.
“Paul Elgood has done a fantastic job constructing fun logic puzzles with a Sherlock Holmes twist. Try them by yourself or maybe as a team effort as a party game.
“Highly recommended.“
“With a blend of mystery, wit and deduction, Puzzling Cases captures everything that makes Sherlock Holmes so enduring. The cleverly crafted puzzles keep you guessing until the very end, while the dark humour ensures every case is as entertaining as it is challenging. Building confidently on the success of its predecessor, Volume 2 proves that the game is not only afoot, it has never been more so.”

Book One: Rebel Women Between The Wars
Book Two: Wildly Different
Genre: History
Format: Paperbacks
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book One: Rebel Women Between The Wars
What did it mean to be a ‘rebel woman’ in the interwar years? Taking the form of a multiple biography, this book traces the struggles, passions and achievements of a set of ‘fearlessly determined’ women who stopped at nothing to make their mark in the traditionally masculine environments of mountaineering, politics, engineering and journalism. From the motorist Claudia Parsons to the ‘star’ reporter Margaret Lane, the mountaineer Dorothy Pilley and the journalist Shiela Grant Duff, the women charted in this book challenged the status quo in all walks of life, alongside writing vivid, eye-witness accounts of their adventures. Recovering their voices across a range of texts including novels, poems, journalism and diaries, Rebel women between the wars reveals their inch by inch gains won through courageous and sometimes controversial and dangerous actions.
Book Two: Wildly Different
The globe-trotting tales of five extraordinary women who fought for the right to enjoy the wild places of the earth.
A Financial Times best summer book of 2025
‘Spellbinding.’ – Daily Express
‘Well worth reading.’ – Bookmunch
For millennia the ‘wild’ was a place heroic men went on epic quests. Women were forbidden from joining them. So how did they claim their place in the remote and lovely parts of our planet?
In Wildly different, historian Sarah Lonsdale traces the lives of five women who fought for the right to work in, enjoy and help to save the earth’s wild places. We’ll meet Mina Hubbard, who outraged the exploration community when she stepped into a canoe in northern Labrador. Evelyn Cheesman, who became the first female keeper of insects at London Zoo. Dorothy Pilley, who shocked polite society by donning men’s climbing breeches. Ethel Haythornthwaite, who helped make the Peak District Britain’s first National Park. And Wangari Maathai, who started a movement to plant millions of trees across sub-Saharan Africa.
Drawing on interviews with Sir David Attenborough, Wangari Maathai’s daughter and others, Lonsdale recounts the women’s adventures across five continents. Evocative and inspiring, this book shows how women can be ‘wildly different’.
The Author:
Sarah Lonsdale is an award-winning journalist, writer and historian and lives near Canterbury in Kent, UK. She is a senior lecturer in Journalism and history at City St George’s University, London. She was a reporter on the Observer newspaper, and freelanced for most major newspapers and magazines before studying for her PhD on journalists in fiction in 2009 - 2013. She is the author of three critically acclaimed books:
The Journalist in British Fiction and Film: Guarding the guardians 1900 to the present (Bloomsbury Academic, 2016)
Rebel Women Between the Wars:Fearless writers and adventurers (Manchester University Press, 2020)

The Jane Austen Dating Agency is for anyone who has ever dreamed of romance and wondered if it really exists.
Title 2; Wedding at the Jane Austen Dating Agency
Sophie Johnson appears to be living the perfect life. She has landed her dream job as Managing Director of The Jane Austen Dating Agency and is dating the world’s most desirable man, Darcy Drummond.
But all is not as it seems. The relationship with Darcy is failing to live up to expectations and his awful mother is determined to cause trouble. To add to Sophie’s problems, the agency is struggling to attract enough eligible men, she has a Regency wedding to plan, and then there’s the amusing and disturbingly cute Henry Baxter who is making it hard for her to concentrate.
The problem is Sophie wants it all, but in trying to manage everything, she’s in danger of losing what matters most. Can she keep the dating agency afloat and find her own happy ever after?
Or is business and romance an impossible combination?

Title: The Girl in the Song
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Format: Paperback
Signed: Yes, dedication is available
Bids Accepted: UK only
The Book:
Ed’s Looking for the girl in the song...
Have you seen her?
Genie McNamara, a devoted wife and mother, hides a long-kept dark secret.
Ed 'Nasher' Nash, lead singer of The Mountaineers, is finally finding success with his love song "Used to Be," inspired by his first love Evie Del Rio, who vanished over 30 years ago.
The song's rise - boosted by a TV drama and a Netflix documentary - sparked the viral TikTok hashtag #thegirlinthesong.
Now with TikTok sleuth Amira Malik racing to find Evie before Ed does, will Ed and Evie get a second chance, or is this first love best left in the past?
The Author:
Sarah has always been obsessed with music and it is rare to find her without her headphones in! She loves discovering new music and going to gigs. Being the daughter of a jazz drummer, she has always been exposed to music so what with both her love of writing and music, she decided to put the two together and the result is her debut novel, The Girl in the Song.
Sarah is married with two adult sons and is soon to be the proud mum of two rescue kittens who will most definitely feature heavily on her social media accounts.
If she's not writing her own contemporary fiction (always based in West London where she has lived for her whole life), then you'll find her reading women's fiction or psychological thrillers.

Title: Kindness Rocks
Genre: Children
Format: Hardback - (First Edition)
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book;
A heartwarming self-discovery journey where a rock star learns that the path to true fulfillment is paved with acts of compassion and connection.
Meet Jonny Heart, a rock star whose melodies bring happiness to all who hear them. When offered stardom by the charismatic Fat Cat, Jonny dives into a whirlwind of fame, glitter, and music. Yet, amidst the glitz, Jonny begins to miss the simple joys of life. An unexpected encounter with Busky Soul, a homeless bear, sets Jonny on an extraordinary journey, as he bridges his passion for music with the power of compassion.
Author Sheryl Webster and illustrator Robert García beautifully unfold a heartwarming tale that inspires readers of all ages to spread joy through acts of kindness. Join Jonny on his quest of self-discovery, and let this enchanting story remind you that sometimes, the smallest gestures can create the most significant impact.
The Author:
Sheryl is a children's author from Liverpool, where she lives, not far from the River Mersey, with her husband and four children.
She writes books that are dynamic, witty and heartwarming, and that will empower, inspire and make a difference - by informing and creating awareness of important issues.
Before becoming a children’s author, she gained a degree in Psychology and English, then taught in elementary/primary schools for several years.
During a career break to have her first child, her first picture book was published. She now has over 30+ titles published and translated worldwide.
A big highlight for her was having her picture book, 'Kindness Rocks,' featured on a billboard in Times Square, NYC.
Now that her small brood of children are not so small, Sheryl writes full time, and is enjoying writing more than ever!
She finds inspiration for her stories in lots of things, but especially through music, which she feels is the universal language of us all.
Just like a good book, music can be a source of inspiration and expression!

How to Stop Time meets Thieves' Gambit in this thrilling, romantic and witty supernatural YA
novel.
Gracie was born into a secret community hidden within ordinary
society: the Perpetuals. Her family are abnormally long-lived, resilient
and fast-healing. But, it turns out, Gracie is mortal...
which means she's vulnerable.
When the truth emerges, her immortal boyfriend Arty dumps her.
Even worse, while her invincible peers embrace pulse-pounding extreme
sports, Gracie's parents prepare to wrap her in cotton wool.
Permitted 'one last adventure', Gracie heads on an international
trip with her friends - though her hard-to-read ex, Arty, ends
up joining them. And, as they reach New York, things take a dark
turn...
Arty is hiding a dangerous secret that threatens to expose the
whole Perpetual community. Could Gracie, a mortal girl, be the key
to saving them all?

Title: Scenes From My Life in Poetry and Prose
Genre: Biography - Poetry
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book;
Scenes from My Life is a collection of short stories, poems and non-fiction articles. Many pieces have been published in magazines and newspapers, but some, until now, were for my eyes only.
When I began writing my memoirs in 2023, I thought, if I don’t get this body of work out in the world, it might one day be deleted. Each piece is part of me, written at times in my life that were happy, sad, or tragic. These times were imperative to my development as a human being and later as an actress and writer. Times when I met people who influenced me, encouraged me to take a risk, gave me the confidence to change – and most importantly, understand more, do more, do better, and follow my dream.
Each piece of work in this collection is a scene from my life.
The Author:
I was bought up in a busy pub in a market town called Lutterworth. For as long as I remember, I wanted to be an actress and writer. I was offered a television role when I was sixteen, but my mother wanted me to have a 'proper' job, so I did a hairdressing apprenticeship instead. Eight years later, aged twenty-four, I sold two successful businesses for a place at East 15 Drama College and a career as an actress, working in Repertory theatre, the West End, film and http://television.In 2000 I gave up acting, taught myself to touch type, completed a two-year college course and began writing articles and presenting radio. In 2010, after living in London for thirty-six years, I returned to Lutterworth, swapping two window boxes and a mortgage for a garden and the freedom to write - and I loved it. Since then, I have written a series of ten novels. The first four books, set in World War Two, introduce the Dudley sisters. Three post-war books follow, and then three mystery, crime and spy thrillers take the Dudley sisters to 1960. Each story stands alone but is interwoven with the other stories.

Title: Tribute
Genre: Historical Fiction
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book;
London 1970…
The newly restored Young Albert Theatre is about to open. The project’s benefactors want to give the young, underprivileged men and women in London’s East End a chance to fulfil their potential through music and drama.
Its debut musical, Tribute, celebrates the life of Margot Dudley, her work with ENSA, and her rise to fame in The Prince Albert Theatre during the Blitz in World War II.
Two weeks before opening night, the sound system is stolen. While Natalie Goldman, part-owner of the Young Albert, organises a charity event to raise money to replace the system, Ena Green, nee Dudley, who is already investigating anonymous threats against one of the theatre’s staff, investigates the theft.
Can a catastrophic act that could cost the lives of six hundred people be stopped in time?

Title: Foxden Acres
Genre: Historical Fiction
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book;
Foxden Acres: An epic, heart-wrenching and unforgettable historical novel about one woman’s survival against all odds during the unbearable hardships of World War Two. (Sisters of Wartime England Book 1)
1939, England. Bess Dudley knows what it means to lose what you love. As the daughter of a groom at historic Foxden Hall, she has worked hard to escape her humble background and train as a teacher, but she has made huge sacrifices. Just as Bess arrives in London to take up her first, hard-won post, the shadow of war sweeps over England. Bombs rip apart the city, and screeching air raids become a part of everyday life. London is thrown into chaos and schools close, taking Bess’s dreams with them.
Bess learns that James, the handsome heir to Foxden Hall who she has loved since childhood is engaged to Annabel Hadley. Annabel is everything Bess is not – a wealthy aristocrat – but James never seemed to care about those things before. It breaks Bess’s heart to see him with someone else.
London is becoming more dangerous by the day and when Bess nearly dies in a terrifying air raid she knows it’s time to go home. Back at Foxden Acres, she becomes a Land Girl –– farming the estate for wartime rations. It’s back-breaking work and a far cry from the life she dreamed of. Even in the country, the horror of war leaves no life untouched.
Then the unthinkable happens, and Bess’s resilience and hope are tested to the limit. In a world torn apart by violence, she must choose between her heart and her duty… all while keeping a dark secret of her own.
An unputdownable wartime novel about how adversity can change us in ways we never anticipate.

The Book;
Ena Dudley‘s day takes a shocking turn when she sees a familiar face in the bustling foyer of Selfridges department store.
A woman she had mourned as dead, Freida Voight, stands before her, locked in a passionate embrace with a mysterious man. Ena’s mind races with questions, casting doubts on the reality she thought she knew.
Desperate to share her discovery, Ena confides in her husband Henry, an MI5 agent. However, Henry dismisses her claims, reminding her that they attended Freida’s funeral years ago. Yet Ena’s doubts persist and she embarks on a covert investigation. Was Freida’s funeral a cover-up orchestrated by one of the intelligence agencies?
Delving into MI5 archives and later the classified files of the German Nationals Department, Ena faces an unexpected twist when she discovers evidence of a mysterious imposter posing as her, who has been gathering sensitive information from government officials.
Amidst the chaos, a body is discovered in shocking circumstances. With the odds stacked against her, Ena must confront the dangerous truths of her time in the war, what happened to Freida and its lasting repercussions.
As secrets collide and loyalties are tested – Ena’s marriage, reputation and very life hang in the balance.
A captivating tale of World War Two secrets that will leave readers breathless until the final, spine-tingling revelation.

The Book;
Ena Dudley‘s day takes a shocking turn when she sees a familiar face in the bustling foyer of Selfridges department store.
A woman she had mourned as dead, Freida Voight, stands before her, locked in a passionate embrace with a mysterious man. Ena’s mind races with questions, casting doubts on the reality she thought she knew.
Desperate to share her discovery, Ena confides in her husband Henry, an MI5 agent. However, Henry dismisses her claims, reminding her that they attended Freida’s funeral years ago. Yet Ena’s doubts persist and she embarks on a covert investigation. Was Freida’s funeral a cover-up orchestrated by one of the intelligence agencies?
Delving into MI5 archives and later the classified files of the German Nationals Department, Ena faces an unexpected twist when she discovers evidence of a mysterious imposter posing as her, who has been gathering sensitive information from government officials.
Amidst the chaos, a body is discovered in shocking circumstances. With the odds stacked against her, Ena must confront the dangerous truths of her time in the war, what happened to Freida and its lasting repercussions.
As secrets collide and loyalties are tested – Ena’s marriage, reputation and very life hang in the balance.
A captivating tale of World War Two secrets that will leave readers breathless until the final, spine-tingling revelation.
The Author:
I was bought up in a busy pub in a market town called Lutterworth. For as long as I remember, I wanted to be an actress and writer. I was offered a television role when I was sixteen, but my mother wanted me to have a 'proper' job, so I did a hairdressing apprenticeship instead. Eight years later, aged twenty-four, I sold two successful businesses for a place at East 15 Drama College and a career as an actress, working in Repertory theatre, the West End, film and http://television.In 2000 I gave up acting, taught myself to touch type, completed a two-year college course and began writing articles and presenting radio. In 2010, after living in London for thirty-six years, I returned to Lutterworth, swapping two window boxes and a mortgage for a garden and the freedom to write - and I loved it. Since then, I have written a series of ten novels. The first four books, set in World War Two, introduce the Dudley sisters. Three post-war books follow, and then three mystery, crime and spy thrillers take the Dudley sisters to 1960. Each story stands alone but is interwoven with the other stories.

Shortlisted for The Romantic Novelists' Association Historical Romantic Novel Award 2021
The world was crumbling, but her love stayed strong
November 1915. For young housemaid, Anwen Rhys, life is hard in the Welsh mining village of Dorcalon, deep in the Rhymney Valley. She cares for her ill mother and beloved younger sister Sara, all while shielding them from her father's drunken, violent temper. Anwen comforts herself with her love for childhood sweetheart, Idris Hughes, away fighting in the Great War.
Yet when Idris returns, he is a changed man; no longer the innocent boy she loved, he is harder, more distant, quickly breaking off their engagement. And when tragedy once again strikes her family, Anwen's heart is completely broken.
But when an explosion at the pit brings unimaginable heartache to Dorcalon, Anwen and Idris put their feelings aside to unite their mining community.
In the midst of despair, can Anwen find hope again? And will she ever find the happiness she deserves?
A beautiful, emotional and heart-breaking saga set in the Welsh Valleys of the Great War that fans of Rosie Goodwin and Sheila Newbury will love.

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.
