THE FISHERMAN KING

An illustrated middle-grade novel, written by me and illustrated by my daughter, Jet.

Currently seeking representation

A grieving ten-year-old returns to the riverside inn where they once holidayed with their best friend Ozzie. But Ozzie is dead, the magic has gone, and their adventures are over — until a familiar black dog appears beside the river.

THE WEASEL

A new psychological thriller set in the world of Trebrowagh. The sequel to Black Toad.

A new murder brings forensic psychologist Dr Jack Greene back to Cornwall. To a village where some secrets should have stayed buried. He really shouldn't have returned...

I no longer feel human, I am animal.

I am the weasel, obedient to instinct, I'll bite them at the neck, splitting the jugular at the throat or crunching the brain at the base of the skull, and I will never let go.

THE TOAD IS BACK, AND THE WEASEL IS COMING
