Dark psych thrillers that look for the light

FIRST FROST!
Someone Like You
A lighthouse is a beacon. A place of safety. But not for Carey Billingham.
​
When Carey Billingham buys Saltwick, a run-down coastguard station on the edge of the North York moors, she thinks it’s the perfect chance for her and her son Riley to escape her troubled past – a fractured childhood, an imprisoned ex-husband, and in-laws that make the Sopranos look like choirboys.
It isn’t easy. The renovations are slow and expensive, money is tight, and her holiday rental guests are picky. Then Saltwick becomes the target of vandals and arsonists.
Worst of all, the man in the yellow raincoat – the man who has been haunting Carey’s dreams for years - is back. She thought she’d laid all her ghosts to rest. But she was wrong.
What is really going on at Saltwick? Does she dare to find out?

Totally unexpected and explosive… I was completely glued to my Kindle, devouring it in maybe two sittings. The ending caught me completely off guard and I never saw it coming and it left me totally shocked.

Let's Play Dead
(August 2025)
Don’t speak. Don’t move.
Don’t even breathe.
Actress Lisa played her first corpse on stage when she was ten. She’s played a few corpses since - Cordelia in a production of King Lear, a murder victim in ‘Silent Witness’, and a drug addict in ‘Casualty’.
When her husband David dies, leaving her alone with their baby daughter Bella, she thinks she’ll never fall in love again. But then she’s introduced to her brother’s boss, widower Alex MacMahon. Alex is a senior policeman. He’s sexy, charming, sensitive, and funny. They fall for each other. Hard. Within six months, they’re married.
Lisa doesn’t know it yet, but she has a brutal lesson to learn.
As difficult as it is to play a corpse on stage, it’s just a job. It’s much harder when the stakes are higher.
It’s harder to play it for real.

Step into the shadows with me...
It’s a rare light that casts no shadow. There’s no Little Red Riding Hood without the big, bad wolf, no Andromeda without a sea monster, no summer without winter. I’ve always been fascinated by the dark side because it’s only in adversity that we see the true resourcefulness and resilience of the human spirit. That’s something I enjoy exploring.
Why not take my hand and step into the shadows to explore it with me?
