Lux Obscura - The Incredible Adventures of Molly Web, Book One

Molly Webb is a fourteen-year-old girl living in a fast moving modern world with her mum, dad and annoying, smelly twelve-year-old brother Max.  Preparing for adult life is hard enough without discovering a family secret.  Like most teenagers she wants to be different but not that different!  Navigating the changes adolescence brings as a young woman can be messy, frustrating and sometimes daunting but speaking to a family member who has been dead for over a hundred years trumps them all and is a whole new world of weird.  A school project triggers a series of events and Molly finds herself an accidental traveller with more time on her hands than most.  Lux Obscura follows Molly as she unpacks the family secret they didn’t even know they had…which technically makes it not even a secret…yet.

Cry Litte Sister - Book One of the Divided Self Trilogy

D.I Rachel Scholes has been in the force for nearly twenty years and she is tired, not because of the job but because of the running.  She knows her head is crowded but has so far managed to make madness comprehensible.  She is a proxy self-harmer struggling to come to terms with a dark secret from her past.  As the current case she is working on pushes her closer to face the dark truth, cracks begin to appear.  Because of the pressure of the case, and wanting to keep her marriage alive, a third identity surfaces which she struggles to keep under control.  It wants more than her husband and could jeopardise everything.  Brutal reality, hidden desires and survival of the self, Cry Little Sister is a gripping crime novel with a difference.
