Publication #1 The Pumpkin Eater's Wife

Have you ever wanted to walk away? Even though you leave with nothing? Jeanie Connor turns from the crumpled body lying at the foot of the stairs within her elegant Brisbane home. Quietly she leaves, stepping into the pre-dawn empty streets. Helped by a change in hair colour, clothing style and grim determination, she thinks this time, finally, she can leave her toxic life behind. Working as a cleaner, she keeps a constant watch for reports of her husband’s demise. If he’s survived, he’ll find her. He always has. She bears hidden scars to prove it. If he’s dead, she’s a murderer. A chance to steal an identity, and she has the possibility of life anew. Can Jeanie not only evade her own past but the dangerous complexities of the woman she’s pretending to be? Reaching deep into the psyche of those who’ve experienced a noxious relationship, The Pumpkin Eater’s Wife is psychological suspense as written by a psychologist, and it’s compulsive reading.

Thursday's Child

Do You Love Psychological Suspense / Mystery Books? Thursday’s Child Psychologist Fliss Whitelaw is off to Cyprus. There she’ll combine skills she learned as a competitive gymnast and as a psychologist with the specific exhaustive training she’s recently undergone. She’s a highly trained agent with the Kidnapper’s Trust sent to rescue an abducted child. Some time later Fliss becomes increasingly suspicious that something is amiss at their tightly run organisation. Roland, their exacting boss, always spends enormous time and effort researching each potential case to ensure they meet strict criteria, but not lately. Further, agents are being deployed without the extensive training each gig requires. The chilling truth is that agents are being put in danger, to say nothing of the abducted children. Fliss is terrified it’s only a matter of time before a kidnapping goes disastrously wrong. Obsessively compelling, Thursday’s Child is an emotionally compulsive story that will grip you from the first to the last page.
