***Available now - a six-book box set of the complete Detective Allie Shenton Series.*** I write dark fiction with an emotional pull. My novels take you to the heart of the crime. I write police procedurals, psychological suspense and crime dramas - fiction with a punch. Shortlisted for the prestigious CWA (Crime Writer's Association) Dagger in The Library Award, my inspiration comes from authors such as Joy Ellis, Mandasue Heller, LJ Ross and Ian Rankin. To date, I’ve sold over two million books. All twenty-one of my crime novels have been bestsellers, each one climbing into the Kindle UK top 20, and I've had several number ones. I've also had numerous Kindle All-star awards, for best read author and best titles. My latest book, MISSING LIVES, is a mystery set in The Staffordshire Moorlands. There are six books in the DETECTIVE ALLIE SHENTON SERIES. These are part police procedural/part crime thriller. There are two books with Eden Berrisford as the main character, THE GIRLS NEXT DOOR and DON’T LOOK BEHIND YOU. There are four books in THE ESTATE SERIES - a mix of psychological suspense and family life with a sprinkling of grit and a dash of menace - where drama meets crime. I have four standalone novels. THE LIFE SHE WANTS, TEN DAYS, THE LIES YOU TELL and WATCHING OVER YOU. They are dark in places, light in places, and disturbing in places. I have also written four books featuring DS Grace Allendale, HUSH HUSH being the first one, TICK TOCK the second, LIAR LIAR the third and the final one to finish the series, GOOD GIRL. I live in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, with my husband and terrier, Dexter (named after the TV serial killer) and make liberal use of my hometown as a backdrop for some of my books.
