“You have no idea how long I’ve waited to hear that sound from you.” Something feral glittered in his eyes as his tongue darted out to moisten his lips, the message obvious. “Oh yes. Not just thinking about you, but imagining all manner of scenarios where you would have no choice but to succumb toContinue reading “Sneak preview – Lost in Time – Part 5”

Sneak preview – Lost in Time – Part 4
Hugging her raincoat tight against the wind, Naomi pictured Eric in the garden at Gretna, wishing she could have told him the real reason why she couldn’t go with him to celebrate their twentieth wedding anniversary. The picture dissolved into the hurt on his face when she’d told him, tinged with that frisson of fearContinue reading “Sneak preview – Lost in Time – Part 4”
2024 has not been without its trials, and I can’t say I won’t be sorry to see the back of it. But it ended on a high – I finally managed to complete the final Time Doctors book. And then it got better as, thanks to my fabulous launch team, it’s in the top 10Continue reading
Release of Lost in Time
I can’t remember when writing the last book in a series didn’t take way more time than all the others – usually because they end up being much longer (blame all the loose end-tying). In this case, 25% more than the next longest. But mostly because I can’t bear to part with my beloved charactersContinue reading “Release of Lost in Time”

Isaac Grows a Pair Staring at his kindle to avoid making eye-contact, Isaac had never felt so alone. Of all the places to be stuck for two and half hours, an Austrian train wouldn’t have been his first choice – he didn’t share Sheldon’s love of them. But he did have many other things inContinue reading “Sneak preview – Lost in Time – Part 3”
Sneak preview – Lost in Time – Part 2
A note on the kitchen table explained why the door was locked – Naomi’s friend Stella was ill and she’d been called in to cover her lollipop duty at the school. The “Happy Birthday” surrounded by balloons tugged at his heart – this was always going to be the hard part, but her absence somehowContinue reading “Sneak preview – Lost in Time – Part 2”

Necessary Evil Eric: 9/9/99 He hated all the sneaking around, but given the circumstances, it was a necessary evil. Popping another disc into the drive, Eric repeated the command, thankful there were only a few left. One benefit of having the place to himself at such an ungodly hour was he could sabotage the projectContinue reading “Sneak preview – Lost in Time”
Happy Harvestide
No this is not my garden today, it’s looking as dull and grey as everybody else’s. But I thought there’d be no harm in brightening up the page with a memory of one of the glorious October days when I picked dozens of apples. Our orchard has half a dozen apple trees, and two ofContinue reading “Happy Harvestide”
