Psychological thrillers, crime, and domestic noir novels are all genres I have enjoyed reading so it made sense that I would write books along the same lines. Like most authors, I get asked a lot about where I get the ideas for my books, especially as the darker themes may seem a little at odds with what people see on my social media profiles! 

A Village Affair is my fifth novel and, like the previous four - as well as Holly Close Farm to be published by Aria in February 2019 – all the action is centred around the Yorkshire village of Westenbury in the mythical town of Midhope. All the novels can be read totally as stand-alone, but there are a few characters, namely Harriet, Grace and - the rather glorious - David Henderson who always seem to manage to grab themselves a piece of the action, however brief, in all the books.
