Edited in early May, this is a captivating fantasy novel weaving an intricate web of magic, myth and legend.
Angels are disappearing. Witches are gathering. An ancient darkness is rising.
It’s been just over a month since eighteen-year-old Fia Aldridge has returned to Earth from the parallel world of Ohinyan.
She thought she’d be safe back in London—and that she’d be protecting her friends from Erebus, the ancient darkness that was calling to her.
But when she discovers angels are going missing at the hands of a local witch coven, she knows she has to find a way back to Ohinyan and warn her friends, even if it means Erebus will be waiting.
Little does she know, the darkness is about to be set free—and he’s only interested in one thing: finding Fia.
Edited in early May this is the sixth in the Alex Hunt thriller series.
A murder leads to the discovery of an ancient religious artifact and present-day terror. To solve the case means death!
When a determined assault on two students leaves one of them dead and the other missing near Jerusalem’s famous Old City, the hunt for the killer hints on something far more sinister behind the slaying.
When the clues point to it being linked to a religious artifact of an ancient coded keepsake dating back to 36 AD, they call renowned artifact recovery specialists Alex and Sam in to help. But they soon realize a powerful enemy behind the carefully planned plot will have them fight to decipher the code first.
Follow the infamous team between the ancient structures in and around Jerusalem, and then to Crete as the clues unravel themselves and they make a remarkable discovery so vital to history that it shakes the very core of Biblical prophecy.
Edited at the end of April, this is the third instalment in this gripping hard science fiction series.
Following the 2030 discovery of quantum spolding (space folding), interstellar exploration becomes a possibility. NASA, together with private space exploration companies, begin work on the complex physics, technology, and hardware to turn it into reality.
After a test flight to Mars, more hazardous than anyone anticipated, the starship Spirit and its two Rimor shuttles set off for the dwarf red star, Trappist-1, almost forty light years from the solar system. Haven, the fifth Trappist planet, has continents and seas, icecaps, glaciers and mountains, but the ubiquitous plant life they find is, at first, dull and uninteresting.
However, it doesn’t take long for them to discover that Haven isn’t a place on which to find shelter. It does, in fact, have the most terrifying secret, only discovered during the last day of the expedition. As realisation dawns, Mark and his team end up in an existential struggle.
When they finally appear to have resolved their disastrous visit to the planet’s surface, they discover an even bigger surprise awaiting them in orbit. It promises so much. Could it be enough to revitalise the whole mission and turn failure into success?
Harmsworth’s Mark Noble Space Adventures, of which Trappist-1 is book three, contain no space battles, or fantasy environments, but follow real science as closely as possible. Having said that, in order to travel between the stars, there must some suspension of belief to allow for the development of quantum spolding, for which Tony requires your forgiveness. Who knows, though, whether it might foretell the future?
In this story, Tony blends hard science fiction with a large dollop of imagination, and a substantial pinch of horror to add flavour.
Edited in April 2020 this is a gripping psychological thriller.
Will a priest give up his promise to God in order to find the son he never knew he had?
Monsignor Kevin Devlin is on a fast track to the top of the Catholic Church until he learns that the son that he didn’t know he had fathered has disappeared.
The search for the boy tests his faith as it leads him into a world of strip and sex clubs, sex traffickers and paedophiles.
Along the way, he has to seek redemption from the brother he wronged.
The brothers must work together to prise the boy from the hands of the men who hold him, and Devlin must face the ultimate challenge to his future as a priest.
The Monsignor’s Son is a combination of a fast-paced and psychological thriller. If you like either of these sub-genres, then this book is for you.

Thirty-five years ago, there was talk of attempted murder. Has Sara changed? And if she hasn’t, will anyone remember in time?
Domestic suspense meets dark psychological thriller.
Another wonderful and humorous instalment in the Guesthouse on the Green series as Mammy and Moira travel Vietnam.
I love the series and can't wait for book four!
A quick but emotional read - reading about the cruelty to the dog was heartbreaking but this was a lovely tale of the love and healing that animals can bring to our lives.
I would have given five stars but for the missed typos - a few t...
I get the impression that this could be a nice story but I've had to give up after forcing myself to go as far as 15% of the way through. If this novel has ever been near a remotely professional editor then the author was conned.

Another very enjoyable story but with a few niggles, hence the four stars rather than five. Maybe it's because I was tired but the editing issues grated on me more than in the first story and, do people really generally believe that 'ear...
