 | Hello Dear Readers,
I'm alive!!! And it's great to be back! I spent 2018 recovering from major surgery. Now I'm fighting fit and busier than ever in the writing cave, with several ongoing projects which I'm thrilled to share with you. Enjoy! | Alec is back, in this fourth instalment in the Alec Halsey Mysteries.
Summer, 1764. Alec and Selina anxiously await the birth of their first child at their estate in Kent. It should be a time of family celebration, but the death of a young poacher has Alec investigating murder. And when renovations to his sprawling manor unearth a secret burial chamber, a shocking family secret comes to light. Everything Alec thought he knew about his birth is again called into question, and with it the special bond with his irascible uncle Plantagenet. | Visit the DEADLY KIN Pinterest board to go behind the research scenes and discover more about the people, places, events, and historical details mentioned in the story.
