Edited last week, this fast-paced thriller is now available for pre-order.
The world knows him as Santa Claus or Father Christmas, but his official name has been Saint Nicholas of Myra for over seventeen hundred years, and someone will kill over one gift he’s left behind.
When Alex and Sam take a vacation on board a chartered yacht in the Adriatic, their tranquil escape comes to a grinding halt. In the wrong place at the wrong time, they are drawn into a world of biochemical warfare threatening to destroy countless innocent lives.
What lurks at the center of it all are the remains of a seventeen-hundred-year-old Christian saint whose bones secrete a liquid believed to possess immense healing powers. For centuries the Roman Catholic Church in Italy has kept the elixir sacred; extracted only once a year to heal the sick. However, things go dreadfully wrong, and the revered fluid goes missing.
Now, relying on their unique skills and valor to take on a powerful enemy, Alex and Sam are in a race against time to find the essence and prevent it from landing in the wrong hands. Will they have what is necessary to stop a ruthless enemy before millions of innocent people die?
Join them in another riveting adventure as they travel between China, Greece, and Italy in a quest to save the world!

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed being reminded over recent weeks of how much I enjoyed historical fiction in my younger days. Edited earlier this month, Katherine is a difficult book to put down.

When Miss Lockhart stumbles into his orbit their lives become entangled in ways he had never imagined.
Edited in August, this disturbing thriller was published in September.

Matt Anaru let Madison leave. It’s what she wanted. He’s convinced she’s gone missing, but no one believes him, and he can’t find her on his own. Can Matt convince the Holt Agency to find her and bring her home?
A definite change of genre for me with this one as it’s quite steamy, and very different. Edited in March, it was published in October.

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...
