Cover Reveal - The Haunted Heart of Rory O'Dannon


Is the love of Megara's life a hallucination -- or a ghost?
The Irish poet Rory O'Dannon came to Megara during a high fever, but she never forgot. Twenty years later she still mourns him. Her marriage to charismatic Ken Benedict was a pragmatic decision as she no longer believes in true love.
Until a car accident catapults her back to 19th century Ireland--and into Rory's arms.
Finally united with the love of her dreams, and believing she has died, Megara commits her heart to him. But when she wakes from a coma, she is forced to accept that Rory was fictional--until she finds the wedding band he gave her.
Will she choose life with her husband, or death and a mere chance for love with Rory?

Bad Medicine by Caroline Fardig

BAD MEDICINE is the third book in THE LIZZIE HART MYSTERIES series.


What do a smokin’ hot detective, an evil chiropractor, and a couple of blind dates from hell have in common?
Lizzie has to wrangle them all in the third book of THE LIZZIE HART MYSTERIES series!
Book Description:
Lizzie Hart is overjoyed that six whole months have passed without a single murder in the sleepy town of Liberty.  It’s also been six months since Blake Morgan heartlessly dumped her, but she’s determined to get over him.  She’s slimmed down, ready to party, and injury-free, except for a little nagging pain in her ankle.  She’s also very single, but her friends are doing everything in their power to fix that—including setting her up on one disastrous blind date after another. 
Lizzie’s reprieve is short-lived when an old friend of hers is found dead from an apparent drug overdose.  She wants to write it off as bad behavior after having seen the guy cheating on his wife with the new chiropractor in town.  However, when she sees that same chiropractor playing doctor with another man who ends up dead, she worries there could be murder afoot.

Doing her best to stay on the right side of the law this time, Lizzie decides to go straight to the police with her suspicions.  Unfortunately, the only cop available to speak with her is the stern yet hot new detective who has already given her a traffic ticket and a reprimand for public intoxication.  Not surprisingly, he brushes her off, leaving her no choice but to begin snooping on her own.  Lizzie soon learns she’s going to need help to get to the bottom of this mystery, but her best partner in crime solving, Blake, has turned into her worst enemy.

Can Lizzie and Blake find a way to work together to catch the killer…or will they kill each other first?

Books - Birth of a Paperback

Today I held a paperback copy of my third book, A Jersey Dreamboat, in my hands. This is an exciting moment to say the least!


After months of coming up with an idea > an outline > deciding on characters' names > where they'll live > plotting what you're going to do with them > getting the whole book down on paper and sending it off to my editor. Then comes the editing > more editing > more editing > proofreading > and on it goes until finally the book ready to be published. Holding the physical paperback in your hands is an enormous moment that makes the book finally seem real.


I'm lucky having a fantastic editor working with me, together with a team of professionals who are always ready to answer any queries I might have. Accent Press are an amazing publishing company to work with and next month it will be a year since I signed with them. The past eleven months have been busy, but fun and I've learnt an enormous amount about my own writing and the editing process. I've also enjoyed having the support of the excellent Accent Press team and my fellow Accent Press authors who I have to say are a fun, talented and very friendly bunch.

A Jersey Dreamboat is available to pre-order now. Here's the link.

The Rest of My Life by Sheryl Browne


Genre: Contemporary Romance : Release Date: 1st July 2015

Publisher:  Choc Lit @ChocLituk


The Rest of My Life
“You can’t run away from commitment forever … “

Adam Hamilton-Shaw has more reason than most to avoid commitment. Living on a houseboat in the Severn Valley, his dream is to sail into the sunset – preferably with a woman waiting in every port. But lately, his life looks more like a road to destruction than an idyllic boat ride…

Would-be screenplay writer Sienna Meadows realises that everything about Adam spells trouble – but she can’t ignore the feeling that there is more to him than just his bad reputation. Nor can she ignore the intense physical attraction that exists between them.

And it just so happens that Adam sees Sienna as the kind of woman he could commit to. But can he change his damaging behaviour – or is the road to destruction a one-way street?

Death Sentence by Sheryl Browne


Thriller/Psychological thriller/Crime thriller
Release Date: 1st June 2015

Reviewed by a top Amazon Reviewer at Best Selling Thrillers and given a glowing FIVE Stars, Sheryl Browne’s new thriller Death Sentence is now available on Amazon! “This was such an excellent read. I found myself having to force myself to breathe. Well done Sheryl! Once again you’ve produced a book with such an array of plots and yet showing that love is still possible throughout tragedy and conflict”. – Treebeard

*The title of the book, DEATH SENTENCE, was suggested by a chief constable who also offered the author guidance on forensics and police procedure.

Death Sentence - He's killed your child and kidnapped your wife. What would YOU do?

Detective Inspector Matthew Adams and Patrick Sullivan, drug dealer, pimp, murderer: two men on opposite sides of the law. A history that goes way back. A bully even in his youth, Sullivan had made it his mission in life to make the goody-two-shoes copper's life a misery. Now Matthew has made it his mission in life to make sure the pimping scum responsible for prostituting young girls, abusing them, and beating them to death, is locked up for life.

When Matthew's child becomes a casualty of the war between them, does Matthew want justice? Or does he want retribution? When Patrick's brother is shot down like a dog in a drug bust gone wrong, Patrick wants payback. He wants Matthew. Or the copper loses his pretty, pregnant wife. As far as Patrick is concerned, it's quid pro quo.

An edge-of-your seat story of revenge.

Writing Ambitions

When I began my first book - which will never see the light of day - there were several ambitions I aimed for but never expected to achieve.

Finally, after quite a few years writing, rewriting and rewriting several novels, I've managed to see the following dreams come true:




  • Seeing my first book finished - I loved the whole scary experience of self-publishing and learned a huge amount.
  • Seeing my book in print/on my Kindle
  • Someone buying and enjoying my book enough to give it a 5* review - This is the best way to make an author happy, buy their book, read and enjoy it, leave a glowing review that they can savour.
  • Seeing my first two books, A Jersey Kiss and A Jersey Affair - for sale in Jersey's Waterstones store. This excitement was heightened when both rose up the Waterstones' Top Ten Book Charts staying there for over a month reaching #3 and #7 simultaneously.
  • Being traditionally published - I signed a four-book contract with Accent Press, a publisher I'd long admired, in August 2014.
  • One of my books being up for an award - A Jersey Kiss was a recent finalist in the Romantic Novelists' Association Joan Hessayon Award 2015. Although I didn't win the competition, I did receive a certificate to mark being a finalist together with a cheque from the sponsor. (I'm the one in the picture whose trying her best to hide in the middle of the other finalists).
  • Seeing my name and that of my book in The Bookseller - here's the link.

I remember wondering who I thought I was kidding thinking I could write a book anyone else would want to read, let alone pay to buy. This was about three years ago and I couldn't decide whether I should give up and forget about my writing dream. Then I read somewhere that published authors are the ones who didn't give up. This thought spurred me one once again and now I'm relieved that it did.
