"I didn’t want Miss to put the book down. It was so gripping from the beginning."

(Re: 'The Troll Trap')

"This first thing I learned was that this is not a book to read on the bus, mainly because of all the times I caught myself laughing like an idiot every five minutes. The second thing I learned was just how great this book is."

- M. Cox (Amazon Reviewer)

(Re: 'My Granny Writes Erotica (The Original Quickie)')

"The characters are engaging, the plot tightly woven with enough twists and turns to maintain momentum, and the book deals with important themes in a very sensitive and thought provoking manner. I particularly admired the language, which treads an admirably fine line between moments of humour and the serious consideration of themes such as mental illness."

Free Short Story - A Royal Mess

A Royal Mess is a short prequel to Pompomberry House, which is an ideal read for anybody wishing to sample the Pompomberry series without investing in a whole novel.

Today A Royal Mess is free on Amazon.

The blurb:

Dee Whittaker and her estranged husband Gareth, are destined to become a crime fighting double act.

However, it's the calm before the storm. With her marriage still holding together, Dee dips her toes into the world of indie publishing. She joins a forum, unaware that the very people she asks for help, will eventually send her life spiralling out of control, landing her in mortal danger.

She asks for feedback on a blurb for her short story, A Royal Mess, and finds herself flummoxed by the forum members' responses.

Should she really set her comedy about a royal-wedding-themed-best-dressed competition, in Baghdad during 9-11, or are the other writers completely insane?

Contains free bonus flash fiction: 'A Dawn's Prayer'.
