Standalone Novellas
Between zombie books, I take time to refresh and write standalones on things that mean a lot to me. Here you'll find the Kate Hardwick crime mysteries set among Chester's buried past, the Remembered psychological thrillers, and standalone novellas.
The Remembered Series
The Remembered Series: The Complete Collection, Books 1–5
Five impossible cases. One war over memory and reality. A murder with no victim — four hundred people remember watching him die at St Pancras, but the cameras show empty air. A girl remembered by families who have never met. A house that holds other people's lives. An accident that never happened, yet millions remember it. A woman remembered in five different ways, when only one version can remain. Memory specialist Dr Rowan Hale and DCI Nadiya Sayeed must enter a history that has already been rewritten — and discover who is rewriting it. All five Remembered novellas collected in one complete volume.
