This is the beginning of a series of mysterious disappearances. The investigations are disrupted and delayed by the wandering womb syndrome.

Can her father, her fiance and his senior partner solve the mysteries and free the captives before they are murdered ... ?

It's over and the new one starts

Well the old year is over and here we go again.

I spent most of the holiday period writing my new book, it's up to 120 pages at present. It's a ghost story with a sexual element and is set in early victorian times. I make no bones about it, the looks of Emily, the heroine are based on the beautiful actress Jenna Coleman (of Dr Who fame). She didn't start out that way, but I have liked Jenna since her first appearance and when I read back through the description I recognised her immediately.

I don't plan things for my books, I let the story take me where it wants. This book started with the opening description of the house, as seen by the old man and nothing else no idea of a story or even that there might be a heroine.

When I got to the need for the Heroine I wanted her to be beautiful and have big eyes that draw you in, starting with that just led on to the other features (I hope she doesn't mind).

I cant tell you the title yet, I haven't settled on one and release date is likely to be late January/early February.

Oh well back to the writing, I want to find out how it ends :o)

Have a happy and prosperous New Year, but most of all be healthy.
