Thank you for visiting my Amazon author page, it's lovely to see you here.If you click on the yellow 'follow' button Amazon will send you emails if there's a special deal you might be interested in. My books are not easy to slot into a particular genre, and you can usually find them under 'contemporary fiction', 'literary fiction', 'political thriller' and 'psychological thriller.' My latest novel 'Three Hours', was chosen as the Times Thriller of the Year and I'm still in shock. I've written three others novels: 'Sister', 'Afterwards' & 'The Quality of Silence' I love hearing from readers, so please do follow me if you like on twitter or Instagram or visit my website.
