I write adult speculative fiction with a heavy side order of romance, generally involving some combination of morally ambiguous protagonists, villainous love interests, unreliable narrators, scheming, complex family dynamics and big twists.
The WITCH TRIALS adult contemporary fantasy books are published by Storm Publishing and available now.
In Book 1, THE TWISTED MARK, Sadie Sadler, a witch who left the Yorkshire town her family control with dark magic to become a London lawyer, must return home and use both spells and statute books to fight an old enemy who’s framed her brother for murder, while attempting to resist his sinister but seductive appeal.

The sequel, THE BINDING MARK, sees the action move to London and throws vampires into the mix...

I've also written a 16k word prequel, TWO REASONS, which is told from the point of view of the villainous love interest, Gabriel. Sign up to my newsletter here https://subscribepage.io/PXTHWP to download an exclusive copy.
I hope to write more in the world of Witch Trials soon - in addition to a few ideas revolving around Mannith and the main and supporting cast, I've got a few spin-offs in mind, relating to the vampires from Book 2 and the witches of the Cornish Enclave who crop up occasionally.
In the meantime, UNCHOSEN, my latest WIP, is an adult portal fantasy about the unremarkable but scheming half-sister of a glamourous and talented “chosen one” who, after her sister’s suspicious death, disguises herself as her and attempts to fulfil her prophesised destiny.
I’ve also written THE DICTATOR’S WIFE (mostly shelved for now, but we'll see...) an adult speculative romantic thriller about the idealistic run-up and brutal aftermath of a UK military coup, told from the perspective of the eponymous scheming spouse.
