Romantic Comedy Meets Celebrity Murder Mystery

When celebrities need a crime solving quickly and discreetly they call in the specialists, the Celebrity Crimes Investigation Agency, otherwise known as the CCIA…

CCIA agent Charlie and barmaid Amber team up to solve the first case – the brother of a heartthrob actor found dead in suspicious circumstances…

And The Earth Moved is book one in the series:

One desperate phone call is all it takes to turn Amber’s day from boring to completely crazy.

The call? Her old university boyfriend Ennis, now a heartthrob actor, begs for Amber’s help.

His brother Joel is dead and Ennis has to discover the truth about his death before the world’s media hear about it and batter his door down demanding answers.

The CCIA has already assigned its top agent, Charlie Huxton, to the case.

Amber’s mission? Ennis doesn’t trust a stranger to keep quiet so he pleads with Amber to shadow and help Charlie throughout the investigation. Ennis was her first love and she still has a soft spot for him – how can she refuse?

Scarily out of her depth Amber knows she needs to somehow get Charlie on side with her involvement in the case – and fast.

Plunged into the world of crime Amber’s battling something darker and far more dangerous than she’d imagined – and it has nothing to do with the equally scary chemistry fizzing between her and Charlie.

Will Charlie agree to work with her to find out how and why Joel died?

Can she help uncover the truth before word gets out and an already distraught Ennis is hounded by story-hungry journalists?

Just as importantly, can she keep her sanity and still be alive when the mystery is finally solved?

Seduction In The Shed & A 77p Book Sale

My novel How Do You Spell Love? is on sale today with the book available for just 77p on Amazon.

It's a contemporary romance with a twist - there's a spot of magic in the air and it's looking as though a love spell may have gone horribly wrong...

Here's a short extract, taken from a scene between Summer and Tom, in the shed on her Yorkshire allotment....

“So, how was your weekend with your parents?” Tom asked as he settled into a deckchair, looking every bit at home in her allotment shed. Even in a suit.

“It was good,” replied Summer, her back to him as she filled the little kettle from the bottle of mineral water she’d brought with her, searching for matches to light the small bottled gas stove. Now they were both here, alone within the cramped confines of the shed, she felt awkward.

“Summer.”

She jumped and tried to turn to face him. It was then that she realised he was close. Very close. Standing right behind her in fact.

“Summer,” he repeated.

“Yes,” she just managed to utter.

“Is there anything between us?” For a few seconds he was silent and Summer held her breath. “Or at least the potential for something between us?”

So. The moment of truth. Summer could ignore the fact no more.

“Summer?”

Her back still to him, she replied, “Yes, there’s something.” 

Would now be a good time to admit about Rob leaving? But Tom was still with Lucy, wasn’t he? If she admitted she was no longer in a relationship but he still was…

Before she could say anything else she felt his arms slip slowly around her waist, she felt him lean in close, a gentle kiss on her neck. Part of her screeched that this wasn’t right – she’d only just split from Rob and hadn’t, for want of a better phrase, yet achieved closure on their relationship. She wasn’t even sure how she felt about him leaving yet. Was she upset? Relieved? A bit of both perhaps?

Tom kissed her again, this time on the opposite side of her neck. The goodie-goodie voice in her head continued to shout, this is wrong, this is wrong. He’s involved. It’s too soon.

She chose to ignore the voice and turned in his arms, meeting his lips, kissing them hungrily. After a few moments he led her across to one of the chairs and gently pulled her down onto his lap.

 “There’s something you should know,” Tom said quietly.

About the book:

How Do You Spell Love?

Kat can’t help wishing there was more to life than this. What happened to her dream job? What happened with Nathan?

Summer is wondering where her life is going too… battling the developers of a controversial housing estate and working out why boyfriend Rob is increasingly distant.

When the developers win the battle and move into town everyone’s life is turned upside down.

Kat meets building site project manager Alex. She enjoys his company far too much, even though he’s on the town’s most hated list.

Summer meets Tom who has plenty of relationship troubles of his own, so things could get really complicated.

Soon everyone is keeping secrets, lives change and hearts are broken. Is everything falling apart, or does life just work in mysterious ways…

Would You Feel The Fear & Still Fall In Love?

Fear is a motivating factor in all our lives. It's the reason we don't just hand our notice in at a job we hate - because we're scared about giving up the income and we're worried if we'll manage to find another job. Fear stops us doing many things.. sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a bad one!

Fear is what is stopping Faith, in my novel If You Only Knew, from risking her heart again and getting involved with new guy in town Zane, who has just taken over the local Carrdale Outdoor Extreme Sports Centre...

The beautiful Derbyshire Peak District, where If You Only Knew is set.

Fear is something which plays a large part in Zane's life too. He has a past he doesn't want people to know about and he's scared getting involved with Faith is asking for trouble...

Fear is what keeps Matt, Zane's business partner at Carrdale, awake at night. He has some decisions to make and is terrified he might make the wrong choice...

Fear is stopping each of them from living their lives the way they want to...

If You Only Knew

Fear versus love.

Happiness versus sadness.

New love versus old flame…

 ***

Faith has a fear of falling in love again but Zane persuades her to risk a relationship with him.

Maybe this time things will be OK.

Then she discovers who Zane’s business partner is and her world is turned upside down.

***

Faith owns The Coffee Pot in the outdoor adventure sports mecca of Derbyshire’s Peak District. She hasn’t had a man in her life for a while, as she’s been too busy serving cakes to weary rock climbers and mountain bikers to find time for the complications of a relationship with the male of the species.

At least, that’s what she tells herself. The truth is that since she got her heart broken she’s had problems trusting men.

When she meets Zane, one of the new owners at the Carrdale Extreme Sports Centre, Faith finds herself enjoying his company even though part of her can’t help wondering why he’s so reluctant to talk about himself.

Then the past comes back to haunt her in the shape of Zane’s business partner Matt, who just happens to be the guy who broke Faith’s heart all those years ago.

With Matt out to cause trouble and Zane keeping secrets Faith’s life is about to get very complicated indeed…
