Book Title: The Witches' Stone
Genre: Supernatural Historical - Thriller
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
Some legends never die – they wait for you to come home.
When Jess Morgan arrives in Northumberland to research the history of a crumbling chapel, she’s drawn to the legend of the Brinkburn Witch – a woman said to appear when blood is spilled near an ancient standing stone. But the longer Jess stays, the stranger things become. Whispers echo through empty corridors, shadows move where none should, and the boundary between dreams and memory begins to blur.
Over a century earlier, Eliza Stratford turned to the witch for help after a violent betrayal – and sealed her fate with a terrible bargain. Now her story, and the secrets she died to protect, are surfacing again.
As Jess unearths the truth behind the legend, she begins to suspect her own connection to the past runs deeper than she ever imagined – and that some ghosts will do anything to be remembered…

Her timeslip novel, 'Some Veil Did Fall', a paranormal romance set in Whitby, was published by Choc Lit in Autumn 2014, and her books are now published by Joffe Books, winners of the IPG Trade Publisher of the Year in 2023. The experience of signing 'Some Veil Did Fall' in a quirky bookshop in the midst of Goth Weekend in Whitby, dressed as a recently undead person was one of the highlights of her writing career so far!

Book Title: The Heights
Genre: Crime Fiction
Format: Hardback
Signed - Dedication is NOT Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
MURDER COMES TO LONDON'S MOST LUXURIOUS HIGH-RISE: AND EVERY RESIDENT IS A SUSPECT.
The Heights: a gleaming, high-end high-rise looming over Hyde Park. Newly built from steel and smoked glass, a billionaire's playground offering sumptuous suites for the global elite.
But when a night concierge is found murdered in the lobby, the building's rarefied atmosphere is shattered, and the gilded lives within come under intense police scrutiny.
In a world designed to keep prying eyes out, where the residents are not used to being held to account, born-and-bred Londoner Detective Gillian Gish must find a way past their power, wealth and unimaginable influence.
The rules may be different at the top - but is anyone truly above the law? Or could it be that the higher you rise, the further you fall...?
THE FIRST STANDALONE THRILLER IN TWO DECADES FROM THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER IAN RANKIN
The Author:
Born in the Kingdom of Fife in 1960, Ian Rankin graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 1982, and then spent three years writing novels when he was supposed to be working towards a PhD in Scottish Literature.
After university and before his success with his Rebus novels, Ian had a number of jobs including working as a grape-picker, a swineherd, a journalist for a hi-fi magazine, and a taxman. Following his marriage in 1986, he lived briefly in London where he worked at the National Folktale Centre, followed by a short time living in France, before returning to Edinburgh.
Ian’s first novel Summer Rites remains in his bottom drawer, but his second novel, The Flood, was published in 1986, while his first Rebus novel, Knots & Crosses, was published in 1987. The Rebus series is now translated into twenty-two languages and the books are bestsellers on several continents. In addition to his Rebus and Malcolm Fox novels, he has also written standalone novels including Doors Open, which was televised in 2012, short stories, a graphic novel – Dark Entries – and a play (with Mark Thomson, the Royal Lyceum Theatre’s Artistic Director) Dark Road, which premiered at the Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh, in September 2013. A second play, Long Shadows, starring John Rebus, was co-written with Rona Munro and staged in 2018. There are also a number of novels under the pseudonym ‘Jack Harvey’ and in 2005 he collaborated with singer Jackie Leven on a CD. His non-fiction book Rebus’s Scotland was published in 2005.
Ian Rankin has been elected a Hawthornden Fellow, and is also a past winner of the Chandler-Fulbright Award. He is the recipient of four Crime Writers’ Association Dagger Awards including the prestigious Diamond Dagger in 2005. In 2004, Ian won America’s celebrated Edgar Award for Resurrection Men. He has also been shortlisted for the Edgar and Anthony Awards in the USA, and won Denmark’s Palle Rosenkrantz prize, the French Grand Prix du Roman Noir and Germany’s Deutscher Krimipreis.
Ian Rankin is also the recipient of honorary degrees from the universities of Hull, Abertay, St Andrews and Edinburgh as well as The Open University. In 2019, he donated his archive of over 50 boxes of manuscripts, letters and paperwork to the National Library of Scotland.
A regular contributor to BBC2’s Newsnight Review, he also presented his own TV series, Ian Rankin’s Evil Thoughts on Channel 4 in 2002 and Rankin on the Staircase for BBC Four in 2005. In 2007, Rankin appeared in Ian Rankin’s Hidden Edinburgh and Ian Rankin Investigates Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde also for BBC Four. Ian has been the subject of ITV’s South Bank Show and BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs where his choice of music included Joy Division, The Rolling Stones and Van Morrison.
Ian has received an OBE for services to literature, opting to receive the prize in his home city of Edinburgh, where he lives with his wife and two sons.

As he reluctantly gets to know Clara, Michael begins peeling back the edges of an extraordinary family secret. A secret that has become a deadly obsession. And the more time Michael spends with Clara, the more her obsession becomes his own . . .

The Book;
'Moving, outrageous and outrageously funny' Dawn French
When a toxic hospital consultant dies of a heart attack, fellow doctor Eitan Rose smells foul play. Nobody else does though, including some quite crucial players like the police and the coroner.
But Eitan just won't let it drop, and his friends and colleagues become increasingly concerned about his mental health as his chaotic investigation and equally chaotic life spiral out of control. Is he making a career-ending mistake, or could there genuinely be a killer stalking the wards?
A deathly funny mix of mystery, murder and medicine, A PARTICULARLY NASTY CASE is the brilliantly original debut novel from Adam Kay, BAFTA-winning author of multi-million global bestseller THIS IS GOING TO HURT.
The Author:
Adam Kay is a BAFTA-winning author, TV writer, comedian and former junior doctor. His first book, This is Going to Hurt, spent over a year at number one in the Sunday Times bestseller list, was translated into 37 languages, won ten national awards, and sold over three million copies. His subsequent adult nonfiction books, Twas the Nightshift Before Christmas and Undoctored were also Sunday Times number one bestsellers. He edited Dear NHS: 100 Stories to Say Thank You, raising over £400,000 for charity. He is also one of the country's bestselling children's authors, with books including Kay's Anatomy (the fastest selling kids' non-fiction book of the decade), Kay's Marvellous Medicine, Kay's Brilliant Brains, Kay's Incredible Inventions and picture book Amy Gets Eaten. His books have sold over five million copies in total.
As a live performer, Adam has sold-out numerous West End seasons and UK tours. His tour of This is Going to Hurt was attended by over 300,000 people and Undoctored was the bestselling show of the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe.
Adam's awards for TV writing include BAFTA and Writers Guild awards for adapting This is Going to Hurt for the BBC and AMC. He is a columnist for the Sunday Times, and a proud patron of The Lullaby Trust, The Laura Hyde Foundation and Doctors in Distress, where he founded the National Memorial Tree Planting Campaign for healthcare workers who have lost their lives by suicide.

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
Genre: Crime Thriller
Format: Paperback
Signed: Yes, dedication is available
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

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.

The Book 1: She’s Mine
Her missing daughter was just the start of the nightmare
Twenty years ago, Christine Donovan took a call she should have ignored while shopping. In those few seconds while her back was turned, her toddler, Heidi, was kidnapped. She’s never been seen again.
Despite having two other children with husband Greg, Christine remains guilt-stricken that her neglect caused her child to be stolen, while haunted by a secret that consumes her.
Just as she takes measures to finally heal, a note is posted through her door, with the words she has always longed to hear: Heidi isn’t dead.
Christine might finally get the answers she craves - but what she doesn’t know is that finding her daughter will uncover dark secrets close to home.
In seeking the truth, Christine might destroy everything that she loves … so how far is she willing to go to find Heidi?
The Book 2: The Loyal Friend
She has your back.
And may stab you in it.
Wealthy, pampered Susan is living the perfect life in leafy Kingston. She’ll never let anyone see the darkness she’s concealing behind the diamonds and rosé.
Grace is new to the group, seemingly the perfect wife and mum. Yet no one knows the truth of what’s happening behind closed doors.
Loner Natalie hides the pain of her childhood behind a carefully ordered life. But how long can the past stay hidden?
Three unlikely friends, brought together for a weekly class run by beautiful, friendly, instructor, Jade.
But when Jade goes missing in mysterious circumstances, the group starts to unravel. And as their darkest secrets come to light, it seems that no one can be trusted. Even their closest friends…

Book Genre: Psychological thriller
Format: Paperback
Dedication Available: Yes
Postage: UK Only
The Book 1: The School Gates
First comes gossip … then comes revenge
When single mum Lola Martinez’s son, Luca, starts school, she feels that she’ll never fit in with the yummy mummies in the playground. Confident, married to wealthy men, with ample free time, they are everything she isn’t.
However, Lola is invited into the inner circle, surrounded by seemingly friendly people, even if Lola’s silence about her child’s father puzzles them. Despite herself, Lola quickly becomes involved in playground politics, making as many enemies as friends.
But then Lola is brutally murdered, her death rocking the close-knit community. As the police investigate the case, they discover that Lola was hiding many secrets – as are the mums in her new social circle. But who had the most reason to kill her? And who else might unwittingly hold the answers to what happened that night?
The Book 2: The Home Swap
We swap homes for a week with another couple. A luxury mini-break to celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary. But they are hiding a terrible secret . . . and so am I.
It seemed like a good idea. Our marriage has been under strain, and my husband has done something I’m finding hard to forgive.
As soon as we arrive, something seems wrong.
It’s little things at first: the hot water suddenly turns cold; the lights flicker out. It feels like we’re being watched.
The next day, a stranger knocks at the door. He seems desperate, and it’s freezing outside. So I let him in.
Big mistake.
This house swap isn’t a romantic escape.
It’s a trap.
AN EXHILARATING BLEND OF BREATHTAKING SUSPENSE AND NAIL-BITING TENSION WITH A SHOCKING FINAL TWIST.

Title: Her Sister's Killer
Genre: Crime
Format: Paperback
Signed: Yes, dedication available
Bids Accepted: Global
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.

Title 1: Beattie Cavendish and the White Pearl Club
1948. The shadow of war still lingers over Britain and Beattie Cavendish, former Secret Operations Executive agent, refuses to settle into civilian life. When offered an undercover role at the newly formed GCHQ, the nerve centre of Britain’s intelligence network, she doesn’t hesitate. Her first mission is to infiltrate the powerful Bowen family and find out what she can about politician Ralph Bowen who is suspected of being a communist sympathiser.
Her mission takes a deadly turn when the family’s housekeeper, Sofia, is found with her throat cut.
Beattie teams up with war-weary detective Patrick Corrigan to expose a dangerous web of spies and secrets all leading back to the White Pearl Club, a Soho establishment that caters to gentlemen with dangerous appetites.
As powerful forces attempt to bury the truth, Beattie must survive a ruthless game of deception and the dark underbelly of 1940s Soho at the dawn of the Cold War.
Title 2: Beattie Cavendish and the Highland Hideaway
1949. The Cold War is tightening its grip, spies lurk in every shadow, and the race for the atomic bomb is reaching a deadly pitch.
When GCHQ operative Beattie Cavendish is sent to a pivotal listening station in a remote corner of the Scottish Highlands, she finds a base in chaos. Its commander is missing, its mission compromised, and there are whispers of a German spy ring closing in. But Beattie’s task takes a darker and more personal turn when her uncle vanishes from nearby. He leaves behind a chilling note: I know who you really are.
With private detective Patrick Corrigan at her side, Beattie must uncover the truth before snow and secrecy seal them in. For here, betrayal runs deep, and no one is who they seem.

Title 1: Beattie Cavendish and the White Pearl Club
1948. The shadow of war still lingers over Britain and Beattie Cavendish, former Secret Operations Executive agent, refuses to settle into civilian life. When offered an undercover role at the newly formed GCHQ, the nerve centre of Britain’s intelligence network, she doesn’t hesitate. Her first mission is to infiltrate the powerful Bowen family and find out what she can about politician Ralph Bowen who is suspected of being a communist sympathiser.
Her mission takes a deadly turn when the family’s housekeeper, Sofia, is found with her throat cut.
Beattie teams up with war-weary detective Patrick Corrigan to expose a dangerous web of spies and secrets all leading back to the White Pearl Club, a Soho establishment that caters to gentlemen with dangerous appetites.
As powerful forces attempt to bury the truth, Beattie must survive a ruthless game of deception and the dark underbelly of 1940s Soho at the dawn of the Cold War.

Book 2. The Web They Wove
He’s desperate to replace his mother’s love.
He’s prepared to go to any extreme to find the perfect replacement.
Whether they want to be found or not.
Increasingly unfulfilled, his anger mounts and his actions become increasingly bizarre and violent.
DI Ziggy Thornes and his team have the highest crime solve rate throughout West Yorkshire. When they are called in to solve the murder of a young female, at first it seems a sickening but straightforward case. When a second body is discovered and another young woman missing, the stakes are raised, and pressure is mounting.
Fear is spreading throughout the city, as serial killer stories from Yorkshire’s past circulate once again in the media.
Clues are few and far between – until it leads closer to home than Ziggy is prepared for.
As the detective crosses paths with the serial killer, only one of them will survive.
But only one of them are who they really appear to be.

As tension mounts, and struggling to decide who he can still trust, Ziggy needs to make decisions that mean breaking the sacred oath he took by continually pushing the boundaries of acceptable behaviour for a serving DI.
But as he digs ever deeper, can Ziggy prevent a devastating finale that will leave him questioning everything he’s ever believed in?

Book Title: The Killer in Room Five
Genre: Psychological Thriller
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
A terrible confession…
In an isolated room in Hollowpines, an infamous psychiatric hospital, Joe Sinclair is confessing to a violent murder.
An impossible crime…
Locked away, Joe couldn't possibly have killed the man, so how does he know so many of the horrifying details?
A detective at her limits…
Suspended after a colleague was stabbed on her watch, DC Abby Fox has only just returned to work. But at Hollowpines, she must find out what really happened and how exactly Joe is involved.
Is he to blame, or the only one who can stop the killer?
The Author:
Having always been fascinated with the dark and macabre, Sam Holland exploded onto the crime thriller world in 2022 with her debut novel, The Echo Man, shocking and enthralling readers and reviewers alike with its sinister depiction of a serial killer copying notorious real-life murderers of the past. The Twenty followed the year after, garnering reviews such as ‘riveting reading… packed with suspense’ from the Daily Mail and ‘smart and brooding’ from bestselling author, AJ Finn.
Her books have been published in 15 countries worldwide, including the US, Germany and the Netherlands, where she became the first author to win the Bronze Bat for her debut and the Silver Bat for best thriller in consecutive years at the Nederlands Thrillerfestival.
She also writes as Louisa Scarr, and is the author of the Butler and West police crime thrillers, beginning with Last Place You Look and ending with Out of the Ashes. A new series, about a police dog handler, launched in July 2024 with Gallows Wood. Book four in the series, Leicester Square, will be out this October.
Her DS Kate Munro series, Ask Me No Questions and Nowhere to be Found, have been republished by Canelo Crime and are out now.
Her fifth Sam Holland book, The Killer in Room Five, has loose links to the Major Crimes world but works as a stand alone.

Title: THE LOST BOY
Genre: Historical Thriller
Format: Paperback
Signed: Yes, dedication is available
Bids Accepted: UK only
The Book:
A mystery boy. A woman with no past. A bond which transcends lifetimes…
Clara's country estate holds more than manicured gardens - it conceals the key to a centuries-old mystery. When she meets Alfie, an enigmatic boy who claims Clara herself brought him there, her world tilts. She has never seen him before.
As their secret friendship grows, Clara and Alfie uncover haunting parallels in their fractured memories. Her life before a coma is a blank; his early years are a mystery.
Delving into the estate's history, Clara unearths a tragic tale from centuries past. Could this explain her connection to Alfie? If so, a dark fate looms over them both.
Racing against time and destiny, Clara must convince her loved ones she's caught up in something beyond comprehension. Can she unravel the threads binding her to Alfie and rewrite a story centuries in the making? Or is this tragic tale doomed to replay for eternity?
'A rapturously beautiful story of a lost boy and two lost souls.'

Genre: Thriller
Format: Hardback
Signed: Yes, dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
In the Cornish village of Peneerie, a tragedy is unfolding. Girls are dying on their seventeenth birthdays and no one can explain why. Some say it’s a curse; others a psychological phenomenon known as suicide contagion. What Kat knows is her daughter Ruby’s birthday is fast approaching.
Villagers talk anxiously of Eliza, a serving girl in the local manor house who took her own life on her seventeenth birthday nearly two hundred years ago. She cursed the girls of the village to never see womanhood.
Kat is determined that Ruby won’t be the next to die, by any means necessary. As she races to unravel Eliza’s Curse, Kat will have to confront the ghosts of the past and shocking truths about the world she lives in. But how far will she go to protect her daughter? And what will it cost to break the cycle of tragedy before it’s too late?

The Author:
Roz Watkins is the author of the DI Meg Dalton crime series and the standalone thriller, 'The Red House'.
Her first book, The Devil's Dice, was shortlisted for the CWA Debut Dagger Award, was the Times crime book of the month, and was optioned for TV.
Roz studied Engineering and History and Philosophy of Science at Cambridge University, before training in patent law. She was a partner in a firm of patent attorneys in Derby, but this has absolutely nothing to do with there being a dead one in her first novel.

In the Cornish village of Peneerie, a tragedy is unfolding. Girls are dying on their seventeenth birthdays and no one can explain why. Some say it’s a curse; others a psychological phenomenon known as suicide contagion. What Kat knows is her daughter Ruby’s birthday is fast approaching.
Villagers talk anxiously of Eliza, a serving girl in the local manor house who took her own life on her seventeenth birthday nearly two hundred years ago. She cursed the girls of the village to never see womanhood.
Kat is determined that Ruby won’t be the next to die, by any means necessary. As she races to unravel Eliza’s Curse, Kat will have to confront the ghosts of the past and shocking truths about the world she lives in. But how far will she go to protect her daughter? And what will it cost to break the cycle of tragedy before it’s too late?

Title: Blood Whir & Blue
Genre: Political Thriller - Espionage
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book;
In this gripping spy thriller, post-Brexit tensions are high across the UK, and the fate of the nation is in the hands of a desperate agent.
Britain is a hotbed of racial discord and economic uncertainty. Only Sir Geoffrey Hartnell, an ageing but hugely respected Member of Parliament, can ease tensions. But as tenuous talks begin, a ghost from the past threatens to bring the UK to its knees.
Lucie Musilova is a young woman running out of places to hide. Half-British, half-Czech and rejected by both countries in the aftermath of Brexit, she has no choice but to accept an assignment with a secret branch of intelligence services. As the Hartnel case—and her mysterious role in it—spiral out of control, one false move could cost future of the nation . . . not to mention Lucie’s life.
The Author:
I'm an author of Political/Spy Thrillers and SciFi, influenced by my passion for the history and culture of Slovakia and the Czech Republic, and my love of the Cold War stories of John le Carre, Ian Fleming et al.
My first two novels, 'Escape to Perdition' and 'The Prague Ultimatum', make up the 'Prague Thrillers' series, which I followed with the 'Lucie Musilova' Thrillers - 'Blood, White and Blue' and 'Sealed with a Death'. All books are published by those lovely folk at Bloodhound Books.
Away from Thrillers, I'm a short story author and contributing editor of unofficial SciFi fan-fiction collections, written to raise money for a variety of charitable causes, and am an unashamedly woke, Brexit hating Lefty.
I was born, raised and live today in God's own city of Manchester.

Book Title: The Last Page Cafe
Author: Kate Storey
Book Genre: Uplifting
Format: Paperback
Dedication available: Yes
Postage: UK only
The Book:
Sometimes the last page is just the beginning…
At fifty-four, Erin McRae feels like she’s living in the margins of her own story. Her son is preparing to fly the nest, and the rent increase on the café she loves to run means she’s going to have to close up shop. Her greatest escape is the mismatched book club she founded, bound together by one unusual rule: they choose their next book based solely on the last page.
But when the book club discusses what their own last pages might say, Erin and her fellow members begin to see their own lives in unexpected ways.
As the club’s discussions grow deeper, long-buried secrets surface, old wounds start to heal – and romance leaps off the page. With The Bookmark under threat of closure, Erin must ask herself: can she write herself a happier story?
A heartwarming novel about friendship, second chances, and the surprising ways stories shape our lives, perfect for lovers of Evie Woods, Sally Page, and Pip Williams.
The Author:
Kate Storey started her career teaching English and Drama, and when she had her family, combined all three to write novels about family drama. Originally from Yorkshire, she now lives in a London suburb with her husband and two teenage daughters, so expects there’s plenty more drama to come.

Book Title 1: Vanished
I glanced away for a second, and she was gone.
It was supposed to be a relaxing day at the beach. An escape from everything that’s been going on recently.
Bonnie was right there beside me. In her yellow swimming costume.
And then, in a split second, she wasn’t.
My heart plummets and I call out. I try to tell myself this happens. It’s a busy day in a popular sun spot. She’ll soon be back in my arms.
But deep down I know that’s not true. This whole week I’ve known I’m in danger. The threats. The notes. The multiple warnings.
But my child?
I may not be perfect but I never thought they’d take it out on Bonnie. My poor defenceless baby.
As I scan the shoreline for a glimpse of my precious little one, I steel myself.
I will do anything to get my daughter back.
Book Title 2: Stolen
He's been in my house.
He's taken my children.
What am I to do?
Vicki has done everything to protect her children. Their father was out of control – every day, his life embroiled in lies, drugs, chaos. So she cut him off, for good.
But when she comes home to a distraught babysitter, panic hits.
The kids are gone. And Lee says he’s not bringing them back.
Vicki can see how he persuaded the babysitter – Jess is young. Naïve. Easy to manipulate. The perfect pawn in his twisted plan.
But then Jess disappears too.
Is this just a father trying to take back what’s his? Or has something much darker wormed its way into her perfect family?

Title: The Cure
Genre: Speculative Thriller
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book;
Living forever can be lethal…
Ruth is a law-abiding elder, working out her national service, but she has secrets.
Her tireless research into the disease that killed her young daughter had an unexpected outcome: the discovery of a vaccine against old age. Just one jab a year reverses your biological clock, guaranteeing a long, healthy life.
But Ruth's cure was hijacked by her colleague, Erik Grundleger, who hungers for immortality, and the SuperJuve – a premium upgrade – was created, driving human lifespan to a new high. The wealthy elite who take it are dubbed Supers, and the population begins to skyrocket.
Then, a perilous side-effect of the SuperJuve emerges, with catastrophic consequences, and as the planet is threatened, the population rebels, and laws are passed to restore order: life ends at 120. Supers are tracked down by Omnicide investigators like Mara, and executed…
Mara has her own reasons for hunting Supers, and she forms an unlikely alliance with Ruth to find Grundleger.
But Grundleger has been working on something even more radical and is one step ahead, with a deadly surprise in store for them both…
The Author:
Eve Smith writes speculative fiction, mainly about the things that scare her.
In this world of questionable facts and news, she believes storytelling can be a powerful way to engage people in real life issues.
Longlisted for the Guardian's Not the Booker Prize and described by British bookshop chain Waterstones as: "an exciting new voice in crime fiction", Eve's debut novel The Waiting Rooms, set during an antibiotic crisis, was shortlisted for the Bridport Prize First Novel Award and selected as a Guardian book of the month.
Her second thriller, Off Target, imagines a world where genetic engineering of children has become the norm.
It was a Times book of the month who described it as "an astute, well-researched and convincing novel of ideas".
Her third thriller, ONE, longlisted for Best Novel in the British Science Fiction Association Awards was described as "pleasingly terrifying" by New Scientist. It is set in a one-child policy Britain that has been ravaged by the climate crisis.
Her latest novel, THE CURE, out in April, explores the catastrophic consequences of a cure for ageing which is hijacked by immortalist obsessives.
Eve’s previous job as COO of an environmental charity took her to research projects across Asia, Africa and the Americas, and she has an ongoing passion for wild creatures, wild science and far-flung places.
When she’s not writing, she’s chasing across fields after her dog, attempting to organise herself and her family or off exploring somewhere new.

Book Title 1: Dancers in the Wind
Book Title 2: Death’s Silent Judgement
Genre: Crime Thriller
Format: Hardbacks
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
Book 1: Dancers in the Wind
Dancers in the Wind introduces freelance journalist and single mother Hannah Weybridge. First thoughts from Urbane Publications (which subsequently ceased trading in March 2021) was for me to write a trilogy. Then came book four and a series was created. When we meet Hannah she is struggling financially and looking for more work.
Consequently she is delighted to be commissioned by a national newspaper to write an investigative article on the notorious red light district in King’s Cross but this has far reaching effects on her life. At King’s Cross she meets prostitute Princess, and police inspector in the vice squad, Tom Jordan. When Princess later arrives on her doorstep beaten up so badly she is barely recognisable, Hannah has to make some tough decisions and is drawn ever deeper into the world of deceit and violence. Three sex workers are murdered, their deaths covered up in a media blackout, and Hannah herself is under threat. As she discovers that the taste for vice reaches into the higher echelons of the great and the good, Hannah realises she must do everything in her power to expose the truth … and stay alive.
Book 2:
Following the deadly events of Dancers in the Wind, freelance journalist and single mother Hannah Weybridge is thrown into the heart of a horrific murder investigation when a close friend, Liz Rayman, is found with her throat slashed at her pro bono dental practice at St John the Evangelist church in Waterloo. The free surgery Liz runs is attended by the homeless people who comprise Cardboard City nearby and initially the police are quick to place the blame in their direction.
Hannah is not convinced and nor is Lady Rayman, Liz’s mother who begs her to try to find out what had happened to her daughter. After much persuasion Hannah agrees.
With few clues to the apparently motiveless crime Hannah throws herself into discovering the reason for her friend’s brutal murder, and is determined to unmask the killer. But before long Hannah’s investigations place her in mortal danger, her hunt for the truth placing her in the path of a remorseless killer…
The Author:
I realise how fortunate I am to be doing something I love. Authors often go through periods when they feel like giving up but the thought of not writing spurs them on. Writing and creating Hannah Weybridge's world in 1990s London has been a fabulous experience for me especially when characters, who have become my imaginary friends, take me on so many unexpected journeys. And then there are those precious moments when a reader tells you how much they enjoyed your last book or a friend says how much they are looking forward to your next book and any doubts evaporate – for the time being!
Writing short stories was my way into fiction and I had those published in major women's magazines as I continued as a freelance journalist, working on national newspapers, magazines and in-house publications, as as an editor for Reader's Digest abridging fiction and narrative non-fiction. My journalism and editing have both inspired ideas for for my crime thrillers as well as my seven non-fiction books with various publishers.
I live in SE London where I sing in a church choir and am a trustee for the Dulwich Festival. I enjoy theatre and cinema and socialising with family and friends

Book Title: The Summer We Lied
Genre: Psychological Thriller
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
On a fortieth birthday trip to Majorca, long-buried secrets threaten to shatter the bond between three best friends.
Nineteen years ago, Jo Watts' twin brother Gavin vanished without a trace. Now, with their fortieth birthday approaching – and desperate for answers – she hires a private investigator to uncover what really happened.
As Jo travels to Spain to celebrate with her best friends, Devon and Michelle, tension simmers beneath the surface. Old jealousies are reignited and, as the drinks flow under the Mediterranean sun, the cracks in their friendship begin to show.
Because they've all been lying.
Back in London, the investigation into Gavin takes a dangerous turn. And as past and present collide, Jo is forced to confront a devastating possibility: the people she trusts may be the ones with the most to hide.
The closer Jo gets to the truth about her brother, the more dangerous it becomes.
The Author:
Beverley was born in Yorkshire – her spiritual home – and brought up in Kent, where she now lives with her wonderful husband and their gorgeous elderly terrier.
Beverley describes herself as a late bloomer, having turned her hand to fiction in 2015, following an inspiring creative writing course, after many years spent working in advertising and PR.
She’s written five published novels to date: a sixth will launch in July 2025. Her books include The Eden Hill Trilogy, a slice-of-life feel-good adult romance series, perfect for readers of heartwarming and hopeful stories about relatable characters. Fans of mystery and suspense set in exotic locations will love The Perfect Liar, in which three forty-something women meet a charismatic male student during their girls’ trip to Tuscany. Beverley’s second thriller, Close My Eyes, set in southeast London, takes a much darker turn, and centres on one woman’s journey into a forgotten year of her childhood. Her third standalone thriller (coming June 2025) is a fast-paced gripping holiday read set on the island of Menorca.

Book Title: THE SHADOWS OF KENSINGTON GORE
Genre: Historical Thrillers
Format: Hardback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: Global
The Book:
Knives Out meets Sherlock in the must-read new historical murder mystery from the Times bestselling author of The Murder at World's End, for fans of Anthony Horowitz, Tom Hindle and Janice Hallett.
London, 1911. Coronation fever. Suffragette unrest. A city crackling with tension.
When a policeman is found brutally murdered on the streets of Kensington, blame falls on the three women seen fleeing the scene.
Their sole witness? Stephen Pike: ex-borstal boy, under-butler extraordinaire and assistant to the most unconventional detective in London, Miss Decima Stockingham. Sharp-tongued, fearless and bored of behaving herself, she’s the only one able to see that this case is not what it seems.
Aided by an invisible network of maids – their eyes and ears in every house in London – this unlikely duo must catch the killer before time runs out. But in a city dazzled by ceremony and divided by change, you never know what might be lurking in the shadows…

‘An utterly gripping story about how one incident reverberates across time, damaging and destroying lives. I read it as if in a fever’ Shari Lapena
---
If my sister hadn’t been beautiful, none of it would have happened.
Ruby Cooper and her sister, Erin, live an idyllic life in their close-knit church community in Boston. But when Ruby is sixteen, she is involved in an incident that causes her family’s world to implode.
Across decades, the fallout leaves a wake of destruction behind Ruby in Dublin and Erin in Boston.

But it can’t stay a secret forever.

Book Title: Lies Between Friends
Genre: Psychological Thriller
Format: Paperback
Signed: Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
She can’t trust her husband. She can’t trust her friends. Can she trust herself?
Gail puts up with her toxic marriage. She accepts it’s the price of giving her kids a perfect childhood. Then her controlling husband is exposed as a fraudster, and her life falls apart.
A desperate Gail flounders to keep her family together. But she puts her faith in the wrong friends, and finds herself alone on a remote island with a killer. Can she escape, or will she never see her children again?
If you like simmering secrets, puzzling murder mysteries and resourceful women turning their lives around, you’ll love AA Abbott’s tense psychological thriller.
The Author:
Who doesn’t love a page-turner packed with mystery, twists and suspense? Those are the books I yearn to read, and I enjoy writing them, too. I’m British thriller writer A.A. Abbott – known to friends as Helen – and I believe a good read is one of life’s greatest pleasures. As a city girl, I've lived and worked in London, Bristol and Birmingham, so it’s no surprise that my books are often set there.
Like 10% of us, many of my family are dyslexic. While I'm not, I want my books to be enjoyed by readers with dyslexia and visual impairment too. That's why I publish my thrillers in a LARGE PRINT dyslexia-friendly edition as well as the standard paperback and ebook versions. Don't forget, when you’re reading an ebook, you can adjust the font on your Kindle to suit your needs. Bright Lies is also available as an audiobook, recorded by amazing voice actor Eilidh Beaton.
I like speaking to book groups, business networks and social circles, and reading my thrillers and short stories at live fiction events and on Zoom. If you're a book blogger, litfest organiser, reviewer or simply adore books, I'd love to hear from you.
I'm a member of the the Society of Authors, Bristol Fiction Writers' Group, and Birmingham's New Street Authors.

Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
*'Seddon takes the reader on a harrowing journey through an authoritarian state much like the one in George Orwell's *1984' **Booklist
Librarian Maya is traveling home from Edinburgh to London when her sleeper train is struck by lightning. She wakes the next morning in a version of London she doesn’t recognize.
Not only is a stranger living in her apartment, but her husband Arthur has disappeared. Worse, in this reality, the Berlin Wall never fell, the Cold War never ended, and Britain is an authoritarian Soviet state. Maya’s parents did not kiss by the falling Berlin wall while on their gap year travels, and so Maya was never born.
Confused, alone, and with nowhere to go, Maya stumbles across the resistance movement, in which librarians like her play a key part. Sent undercover into the heart of government, Maya must navigate this terrifying world while desperately trying to find the people she loves ― and a way home.

A couple looks forward to a promising future in a new house—but a past darkness threatens to destroy it, in a new thriller by the author of Remember Me.

Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
Six friends. Five secrets. One holiday to die for . . .
Welcome to THE WEEKEND.
When a group of friends rent a converted farmhouse in the Yorkshire Dales, they have little idea that this one weekend may change the course of their lives forever.
While out on a walk, a storm descends and the friends take shelter in the mouth of an old lead mine. Inside, they discover a backpack filled with more money than they've ever seen.
Of course, they agree, they will hand the money to the police at the first opportunity. But as the storm continues and time passes, some of the party begin to think again. Because there are secrets festering at the heart of this group. Debt. Obsession. A career on the brink. Problems that could be solved instantly with an unexpected windfall.
And perhaps they don't know each other as well as thought they did.
Before long, six good friends find themselves sliding headlong into a world of deceit, treachery, betrayal and murder . . .

Book Title: Coterie Of Liars
Genre: Comedy Thriller
Format: Paperback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
One of Us Is Lying meets The Inheritance Games with the vibes of Saltburn - a seductively commercial thriller tapping into the trend dark academia and decadence from stand up comedian Kate Weston.
It’s the party you’d KILL to be invited to…
As Evie and her friends – dubbed the ‘coterie’ in homage to her grandmother’s legendary group of artists – graduate from their elite private school, they prepare to host one last epic summer party at Evie's family mansion, D’olobelle. The D’olobelle parties are notorious, with everyone desperate for an invite and a taste of the debauchery.
And the Coterie are determined this year’s party will be the most scandalous yet.
Hugo: The suave and charming golden boy, and Evie’s devoted boyfriend, whose charisma hides deeper complexities.
Jess: The passionate vegan influencer who struggles with her principles –especially when she stress-eats chorizo.
Tim: The hot mess with a drink perpetually in hand and a knack for self-sabotage.
CeCe: The fashion-loving intellect who’s too clever for their own good, always ready to dissect the drama.
And Evie herself, queen bee of their elite private school and aspiring actress. She wants this last summer to be perfect.
But as the festivities unfold, a series of chilling ‘accidents’ begin to plague the group. And it seems that each of them has something to hide. Who is targeting them, and what dark secrets are lurking just beneath the surface?

The Book:
One of Us Is Lying meets The Inheritance Games with the vibes of Saltburn - a seductively commercial thriller tapping into the trend dark academia and decadence from stand up comedian Kate Weston.
It’s the party you’d KILL to be invited to…
As Evie and her friends – dubbed the ‘coterie’ in homage to her grandmother’s legendary group of artists – graduate from their elite private school, they prepare to host one last epic summer party at Evie's family mansion, D’olobelle. The D’olobelle parties are notorious, with everyone desperate for an invite and a taste of the debauchery.
And the Coterie are determined this year’s party will be the most scandalous yet.
Hugo: The suave and charming golden boy, and Evie’s devoted boyfriend, whose charisma hides deeper complexities.
Jess: The passionate vegan influencer who struggles with her principles –especially when she stress-eats chorizo.
Tim: The hot mess with a drink perpetually in hand and a knack for self-sabotage.
CeCe: The fashion-loving intellect who’s too clever for their own good, always ready to dissect the drama.
And Evie herself, queen bee of their elite private school and aspiring actress. She wants this last summer to be perfect.
But as the festivities unfold, a series of chilling ‘accidents’ begin to plague the group. And it seems that each of them has something to hide. Who is targeting them, and what dark secrets are lurking just beneath the surface?
And as eerie photos of the previous coterie emerge, it becomes clear that D’olobelle is not just a backdrop for their celebration – it holds secrets of its own.
Can the Coterie unravel what is going on – or will the last summer at D’olobelle be their last summer of all?

The book:
In 2050s London, fear grips like a vice as a deadly virus sweeps the globe. The British prime minister tells her people to remain calm. A vaccine will be available soon, and as a precautionary measure children will be whisked away to undisclosed locations, kept safe until the storm passes.
Marianne, Downing Street press secretary, doesn't realise the futility until it is far, far too late. When the truth hits her, Marianne is forced to choose: stay with her family, or do whatever she can to help the doomed survive.
As London falls, seven-year-old Maia is one of the last to escape the city. In an evacuation camp, she binds herself to Finn: in the absence of everything she knew, he becomes her everything.
Yet as the years roll on and hope fades, Maia sees the bubble of safety is also a prison. She realises there is only one choice: to leave the camp and find what remains on the outside.

The book:
The first in the Cal Lovett series…
Cal Lovett's sister, Margot, has been missing since he was a child. When Marc Dubois, The Woodland Killer, learns of Cal's true-crime podcast, Finding Justice, he invites Cal into his cell to talk. Dubois has famously refused to speak about his crimes, so why has he asked Cal to meet with him? And why does Dubois know so much about him?
To distract himself from his past and to stop his producer complaining about falling ratings, Cal digs up a cold-case file to investigate for the show. It sends him to the Scottish Highlands to look into a case where a young woman named Layla disappeared 35 years ago after going out riding. Her horse returned without her, and it was assumed she fell and was left injured in the wilderness. But the more Cal learns about Layla, the more he begins to think that her disappearance wasn't an accident...
As Cal's home life spirals out of control, he throws himself further into the case. Can he grant Layla's family closure? And will Cal ever get the answers he so desperately needs after his sister's disappearance all those years ago?

The Book:
We swapped partners for one night. Just for fun. We thought we could handle it. We were wrong.
From the moment Seb and Tamsin moved in next door, I couldn’t look away. They’re everything Nate and I aren’t — glamorous, magnetic, intoxicating.
It started with drinks in the garden, shared meals, easy laughter. They made me feel seen again. Special.
And then comes the night that crosses a line.
It’s Tamsin’s idea. She leans in, eyes glinting. “We should swap. Partners. Just for the night.”
I should have said no. But I didn’t.
The next morning, I creep home full of guilt . . . and walk into something far worse.
There are no rules now. And not all of us will survive.
AN EXHILARATING BLEND OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SUSPENSE, NAIL-BITING TENSION WITH A SHATTERING FINAL TWIST.
The Author:
Lisa Hall is the bestselling author of psychological thrillers and the Hotel Hollywood time-slip murder mystery series.

Book Title 1: MINE
One night.
Two friends.
One fatal mistake…
When loner Lucy Harper accepts a Facebook friend request from Jasmine, an old school friend, the last thing she expects is for Jasmine to run off with her husband, Andrew.
Now, newly divorced, Lucy lives in the flat she still part-owns with Andrew. After a drunken night out, she wakes up with Teddy Fallon. But this is the least of her worries.
The night before a text came through claiming someone knows her secret.
But what is Lucy hiding?
Before Lucy has time to process everything, her ex drops a bombshell – he wants his share of the money from the flat, or it goes up for sale.
Then the blackmail begins.
Who is after Lucy and why?
Love isn’t always innocent, and Lucy is about to learn a lesson the hard way.
Book Title 2: THE TEMP
A twist-filled psychological thriller from the author of the hit thriller MINE.
Prefect for fans of Lisa Jewell and Freida McFadden!
When Bella hires a temp, she’s hoping for less stress, not more.
Daisy seems perfect on paper – efficient, professional, eager to fit in with Bella’s family. Impossible to fault.
Bella likes her – a lot.
Even when her friend Linda warns her to keep an eye on Daisy, and away from her husband, Tom, Bella dismisses it.
But one night changes everything.
One phone call from her sister Zelda.
One mistake.
One moment of madness.
And then the panic begins.
And Daisy starts asking questions.
And Bella knows that nothing will ever be the same again.
Because some secrets don’t stay buried, and Daisy might just be about to unravel them all.

The Book:
Expat Holly Jones has built the perfect life for herself in an exclusive area of Miami: the beautiful house, the enviable family. So the last person she expects to bump into one morning is a ghost from her old life in London, someone she hasn’t seen in over twenty years: the other Holly, Holly Wild.
Single, sexy, and a world away from the frumpy sidekick she was at school, Holly Wild quickly becomes an unavoidable part of Holly Jones’s life. She is everywhere―in her home, in her marriage, and especially in her head. Is this really just a chance reunion or is there something more sinister lurking behind her seemingly flawless facade?
As the oppressive heat intensifies, Holly Jones is haunted by memories she’s spent decades trying to bury. Is she being paranoid or is Holly Wild really out to steal her life? At school they were known as Good Holly and Bad Holly…but as their twisted game of cat and mouse escalates, it’s no longer clear which one is which…
The Author:

Format: Paperbacks

Bids Accepted: Postage uk only
The Book:
Troublemaker - IS SHE SOLVING A MURDER…
….OR WALKING INTO A TRAP?
Storm used to be just like her name. Wild and strong. A force to be reckoned with. But ever since her younger brother was killed in a violent mugging, she has led a very different life: quiet and cautious, seeing danger everywhere. Storm’s tendency to panic has resulted in several false alarms, so when she witnesses a murder with uncanny similarities to the way her brother was killed, and yet no body is found and no one is reported missing, the police don’t take her seriously.
But Storm knows what she saw. And the murder is only the start – the killer will stop at nothing to keep Storm quiet. But how can she solve the murder and stay out of danger when no one believes her?
The Rumour - Joanna has heard a chilling rumour: that a notorious child killer is living under a new identity in the small town of Flinstead-on-Sea. Before she can stop herself, she mentions it to her neighbours.
Sally McGowan was just ten years old when she stabbed little Robbie Harris to death forty-eight years ago. No photos of her exist since her release as a young woman.
So who is the supposedly reformed killer who now lives among them? How dangerous can one rumour become? And how far will Joanna go to protect her loved ones from harm, once she realizes what it is she’s unleashed?
The Other Tenant - Marlow has always lived in unusual places. But when she accepts a position as a live-in property guardian, she finds herself moving somewhere she swore she’d never return to.
Right from the start, she knows it’s a terrible mistake. The elegant Victorian school is due to be turned into luxury apartments, but its eerie, empty corridors are full of Marlow’s worst memories.
And now something sinister is happening on the site. One of the other tenants has disappeared without warning, and Marlow suspects that the nine other guardians know far more than they’re letting on. She’s determined to find out what happened to the missing woman - but which of these strangers can she trust?
And can she uncover the truth before her own past catches up with her?

For Lizzie Riley, switching her eight-year-old son Tom to the local academy school marks a fresh start, post-divorce. With its excellent reputation and outstanding results, Lizzie knows it’ll be a safe space away from home.

Gwen keeps a list of enemies. Not that she'd ever hurt any of them - she just likes knowing if karma catches up.
So when her childhood bully drowns in sewage, Gwen's quietly satisfied. But then another foe dies. And another. Soon, everyone who's ever crossed Gwen - from sworn enemies to obnoxious strangers - is meeting a bizarre end.
The police think Gwen's involved, but she's terrified. Someone's turning her private grudges into a murder spree, and if Gwen doesn't stop them, her newly rebellious daughter could be next . . .

Book Title: Dead Girl Walking
Book Genre: Thriller
Format: Paperback
Dedication available: Yes
Postage: Global
The Book:
Ellie Spiers wants revenge... but she's about to discover it's not as easy as it looks in the movies.
It's not that she thought plotting the bloody downfall of her attackers would be smooth sailing, but she definitely imagined it differently in her head. What Ellie didn't count on were her trauma responses (and lack of impulse control) when faced with these men again.
What she counted on even less was them turning the tables and setting off a horrifying game of cat and mouse...
As she is thrown headlong into the final showdown, can Ellie protect those she loves most from the same monsters who have haunted her every waking moment for five years?
Can she still come out on top or, this time, will the dead girl walking wind up dead for real?
The Author:
A self-proclaimed genre hopper and a professionally trained actor, Rachel defines herself as a storyteller.
She currently lives in Edinburgh and when she's not writing she can be found watching horror movies, drinking copious amounts of tea, reading, or hanging out with her dog,.

In this unique history, you will discover how ill health has been with us for as long as humans have existed, as has the drive to treat and understand it. Over the centuries, the ways in which doctors have engaged with sickness have changed drastically, and so too have the tools at their disposal.

The Mask
The Microscope

The Hypodermic Syringe
The Obstetric Forceps
The X-ray Machine

The history of these medical tools is truly astounding, revealing the full extent of human ingenuity, curiosity, and compassion.

The Book:
A sister looking for answers.
A brother with secrets to hide…
Three days before Christmas, I travel to Midwinter Manor in Norfolk through a worsening snowstorm to meet Daniel, the brother I never knew existed. He has reluctantly granted me an hour of his precious time.
The welcome I receive is frosty. Daniel is cold, intimidating and unfriendly, while his wife, Rose, is polite, but tense. From the moment I step through the door of this imposing manor house, I sense I’m not welcome.
When I go to leave, the snowy blizzard prevents me. Then there’s a power cut and I can’t let anyone know where I am. I realise I am trapped.
Something feels wrong in this house. The way Daniel and Rose speak in whispers behind closed doors suggests something’s amiss. As cracks start to form in their stories, I wonder what it is they are hiding.
Midwinter Manor is a house full of secrets, and some of them are dangerously deadly.
The Author:
Keri Beevis is the million copy bestselling author of Deep Dark Secrets, Dying To Tell, The Sleepover, and the global smash hit, The Summer House.
Her other books include the Rebecca Angell Series: The Alphabet Killer and The Storybook Killer, Trust No One, Every Little Breath, The People Next Door, With Friends Like These, The House in the Woods (formerly published as The Boat House), Nowhere To Hide, Cottage by the Sea, The House Sitter, Dead of Winter, and 21 Willow Lane. She wrote her first novel at age twenty, but it was several years before she was published after winning a contract in the New Novels Competition 2012.
Born in the village of Old Catton, less than a mile from where Anna Sewell was living when she wrote Black Beauty, Keri had a passion for reading and writing from a young age, though her tastes veered more to the macabre.
Today she still lives in Norfolk, along with her mischievous kitties, Ellie, Poppy, Finn and Lila, and a plentiful supply of red wine (her writing fuel). When she’s not writing, she loves movies (horror, thriller, romcom, are her go to) and live music – especially indie (her favourite band are Wolf Alice. If you haven’t heard of them, check them out). She is also big on dinner parties, exploring creepy places, and gets extremely competitive in local pub quizzes.

Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
1959: Ever since the Merriwell sisters lost their mother, the shadowy hallways of their grand, golden stone house have echoed with silence. All youngest sister Edie has to remember her by is a delicate pearl necklace. Now, their father is courting a new wife suspiciously quickly… and Edie has a terrible secret. She is pregnant. Within a year, Edie and her baby will have disappeared…
Present day: Single mother Elsa Dean is shocked when she inherits a sprawling four-storey house, a place she hasn’t visited for over ten years, from her estranged uncle. Then an antique pearl necklace sweeps her back into the past. Elsa sees Edie full of love for her tiny baby. And the devastating family betrayal that tears them apart.
And when a lost letter from her uncle reveals the real reason he left her his home, soon Elsa will realise that history repeats itself at this house of pearls and lies. It is finally time for her to come clean too…
The Author:

She did an English degree and spent her early twenties working in various jobs in journalism, including as a reporter for the showbusiness newspaper The Stage. She started writing fiction in earnest after getting married, moving out of London to the Oxfordshire market town of Abingdon and starting a family. She has two children, a daughter and a son who is autistic and was diagnosed when he was four years old.
Ali is fascinated by families, their myths and secrets, and the forces that hold them together, split them up and (sometimes) bring them back together again. She always travels with tissues and a book and has been known to cry over a good story, but is also a big fan of the hopeful ending.

Book Title: We Keep What Is Ours
Genre: Folk Horror / Psychological Horror
Format: Paperback
Signed: Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book:
A village beyond the ordinary. A history no one wants uncovered. A secret that has endured for centuries.
When Sophie discovers an old photograph among her boyfriend’s belongings, she sets out to find the woman pictured beside him. Her search leads her to Hollowedge, a remote Yorkshire village that seems to exist beyond the reach of the outside world.
After witnessing a violent crash that leaves no evidence behind, Sophie and her friends return to investigate. The village they encounter is unsettlingly self-contained, governed by customs its inhabitants accept without question. As the women uncover traces of its hidden past, they begin to understand that Hollowedge is not simply a place with secrets. It is a place shaped by them.
Through old records, strange symbols and revelations reaching back centuries, the truth gradually emerges. The village’s apparent protection carries a cost, and the distinction between sanctuary and imprisonment is more fragile than it first appears.
We Keep What Is Ours is a work of dark fiction blending supernatural horror with psychological suspense and an atmospheric sense of place. Set amid the woods, stone buildings and old traditions of rural Yorkshire, it explores the burden of history, the price of protection and the danger of preserving something long after its purpose has been forgotten.
For readers drawn to unsettling village mysteries, dark folklore and supernatural fiction, Kathryn Samuel’s debut offers an eerie journey into a community where nothing is quite as it seems.
Discover Hollowedge in We Keep What Is Ours—and uncover what the village has kept hidden.

City of Vengeance is an explosive debut novel in an historical thriller series by D. V. Bishop, set in Renaissance Florence, which continues with The Darkest Sin .
Florence. Winter, 1536. A prominent Jewish moneylender is murdered in his home, a death with wide implications in a city powered by immense wealth.
Cesare Aldo, a former soldier and now an officer of the Renaissance city’s most feared criminal court, is given four days to solve the catch the killer before the feast of Epiphany – or suffer the consequences.
During his investigations Aldo uncovers a plot to overthrow the volatile ruler of Florence, Alessandro de’ Medici. If the Duke falls, it will endanger the whole city.

When a man’s body is found deep inside the convent, stabbed more than two dozen times, the case becomes even more complicated. Unthinkable as it seems, all the evidence suggests one of the nuns must be the killer.
Meanwhile, Constable Carlo Strocchi finds human remains pulled from the River Arno that belong to an officer of the law missing since winter. The dead man had many enemies, but who would dare kill an official of the city’s most feared criminal court?
As Aldo and Strocchi close in on the truth, identifying the killers will prove more treacherous than either of them could ever have imagined . . .

A night patrol finds a wealthy merchant hanged and set ablaze in the city’s main square. More than mere murder, this killing is intended to put the fear of God into Florence. Forty years earlier, puritanical monk Girolamo Savonarola was executed the same way. Does this new killing mean his fanatical disciples are reviving the monk’s regime of holy terror?
Cesare Aldo is busy hunting thieves in the Tuscan countryside, leaving Constable Carlo Strocchi to investigate the killing. When another merchant is burned alive in public, the rich start fleeing to their country estates. But the Tuscan hills can also be dangerous.
Growing religious fervour and a scorching heatwave drives the city ever closer to madness. Meanwhile, someone is stalking those powerful men who forged lifelong bonds in the dark days of Savonarola.

Chasing a suspect in the rain, Aldo discovers a horrifying scene beneath Michelangelo’s statue of David. Lifeless eyes gaze from the face of a man whose body has been posed as if crucified. It’s clear the killer had religious motives.
When more bodies appear, Aldo believes an unholy murderer is stalking the citizens of Florence. Watching. Hunting. Waiting for the perfect moment to strike again . . .

Longlisted for the Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger, 2026
‘Brilliant’ – Ian Rankin
‘Full of dash and atmosphere’ – The Times
The latest historical mystery from D. V. Bishop sees Cesare Aldo face his demons in Renaissance Italy . . .
Venice. Winter, 1539.
When Cesare Aldo learns of a conspiracy to assassinate Duke Cosimo de’ Medici, he is hired to protect the ruler of Florence – with his life, if necessary. The deadly attack which follows leads to bodies, bloodshed – and something far more dangerous.
Those behind the plot obtain a journal of the duke’s containing explosive secrets that – in the wrong hands – could destroy all of Florence. Aldo must hunt down those responsible and reclaim the journal, or face banishment from the city and everyone he loves.
The trail leads him towards the one place Aldo has sworn to never return, a city of masks and lies where he has no allies and far too many enemies: Venice.
The fate of a dynasty rests on his shoulders – if he can make it out alive . . .
The Author:
D. V. Bishop is the pen name of New Zealand-born writer David Bishop, an author of historical crime fiction, screenplays, comics and speculative novels. He is best known for the Cesare Aldo mysteries, which are set in Renaissance Florence during the rule of Cosimo de’ Medici. Bishop’s longstanding interest in Italy and the Renaissance informs his portrayal of the city’s politics, religious tensions and dangerous criminal justice system. He also teaches creative writing at Edinburgh Napier University.
Beginning with City of Vengeance, the Cesare Aldo series follows an officer of Florence’s feared criminal court who investigates murder while concealing aspects of his own life that could lead to execution. The novels combine complex investigations with court intrigue, social prejudice and the struggle for power in sixteenth-century Italy. Bishop’s books have received several honours, including the Crime Writers’ Association Historical Dagger, the NZ Booklovers Award and the Ngaio Marsh Award for Best Novel.

Florence. Summer, 1538.
A night patrol finds a wealthy merchant hanged and set ablaze in the city’s main square. More than mere murder, this killing is intended to put the fear of God into Florence. Forty years earlier, puritanical monk Girolamo Savonarola was executed the same way. Does this new killing mean his fanatical disciples are reviving the monk’s regime of holy terror?
Cesare Aldo is busy hunting thieves in the Tuscan countryside, leaving Constable Carlo Strocchi to investigate the killing. When another merchant is burned alive in public, the rich start fleeing to their country estates. But the Tuscan hills can also be dangerous.
Growing religious fervour and a scorching heatwave drives the city ever closer to madness. Meanwhile, someone is stalking those powerful men who forged lifelong bonds in the dark days of Savonarola.
Unless Aldo and Strocchi work together, all of Florence will be consumed by an inferno of death and destruction . . .

Chasing a suspect in the rain, Aldo discovers a horrifying scene beneath Michelangelo’s statue of David. Lifeless eyes gaze from the face of a man whose body has been posed as if crucified. It’s clear the killer had religious motives.
When more bodies appear, Aldo believes an unholy murderer is stalking the citizens of Florence. Watching. Hunting. Waiting for the perfect moment to strike again . . .

‘Full of dash and atmosphere’ – The Times
The latest historical mystery from D. V. Bishop sees Cesare Aldo face his demons in Renaissance Italy . . .
Venice. Winter, 1539.
When Cesare Aldo learns of a conspiracy to assassinate Duke Cosimo de’ Medici, he is hired to protect the ruler of Florence – with his life, if necessary. The deadly attack which follows leads to bodies, bloodshed – and something far more dangerous.
Those behind the plot obtain a journal of the duke’s containing explosive secrets that – in the wrong hands – could destroy all of Florence. Aldo must hunt down those responsible and reclaim the journal, or face banishment from the city and everyone he loves.
The trail leads him towards the one place Aldo has sworn to never return, a city of masks and lies where he has no allies and far too many enemies: Venice.
The fate of a dynasty rests on his shoulders – if he can make it out alive . . .
