The next Ray And Cain Mystery is now available. It's another short story and it will be free on the 24th and 25th December. Details below:


“His wife has been kidnapped, and he’s out fishing?”
 Ray and Cain are enjoying a peaceful morning fishing when a fellow fisherman gives them some shocking news. Terry Holt informs them his wife has been kidnapped. Even more shocking is Terry’s response - he doesn’t intend to do anything about the kidnapping because he’s enjoying his new found freedom too much.

A Ray And Cain Mystery - Murder In The Flower Beds

If you're familiar with my Julia Blake mysteries, you'll know that her dad, Ray, and her colleague, Cain, have become good friends. I thought it would be fun to give them some mysteries of their own to solve. The first one is now out and will be free with Amazon on 17th and 18th December. You can also read it for free if you have Kindle Unlimited.
It's a short story.

Getting involved in a murder investigation had never been part of Ray Rosenthorpe’s retirement plans. But here he was, on a Saturday morning in a garden centre, looking at a dead body in a shed.
A woman Ray knows is standing over the dead body with blood on her hands. She claims she had nothing to do with the murder, and asks Ray to help clear her name. Being the kind-hearted soul that he is, Ray agrees to help her.
With his best friend, Cain, at his side, the two are soon deep in their investigations.

The Last Post - A Storage Ghost Mystery

Grace's next adventure is here, and she's not having a good time.

The day that Grace feared finally arrives; the day when she meets a ghost she knows.
The ghost is Roz. She’s been delivering post to Grace’s shop for years, and even knew Grace’s late parents.
Once Roz gets over the shock of being dead, she tells Grace what her unfinished business is. Roz delivered post to an old lady called Olive, and Olive is in trouble and needs urgent help.
Grace doesn’t hesitate to help and is soon deep into her investigation. Things take an unexpected twist when an attempted murder is revealed. The would-be murderer won’t rest until they claim their victim.


This book is free on 10th and 11th December

Dead Wrong - A Storage Ghost Mystery

The next Storage Ghost Mystery is out, and this involves vampires! You can read this one for free if you've got Kindle Unlimited.

'Grace Abrahams helps ghosts who can’t move on until their problems have been solved. The ghosts she meets are attached to items found at storage locker auctions.

Vince is the ghost of a young man who is attached to a coffin. He’s confused when he appears to Grace, and can’t remember the details of his life, although he does recognise the coffin. He jokes that he might be a vampire.


His joke turns sour when his personality abruptly changes and he’s transformed into a nastier version of himself. And this version is intent on causing Grace harm.'


The book will be free on Amazon on the 7th and 8th December. I've put the links to Amazon Com and UK but if you live elsewhere, click on one of those links and there will be an option to be taken to your own country. It's usually on the top right-hand side of the Amazon page.

I've started to use a new cover designer and I think she's done a great job of this cover :

2 New Storage Ghost Mysteries

I thought it was time that I wrote some more Storage Ghost Mysteries for Grace and Pearl.  It was fun to write about Grace and her ghostly sidekick again!

And now for some pictures of delicious cakes! It was my daughter's birthday last week and we ended up with two cakes :) Of course, I had to try both.

A Ghost In The Theatre

The next Ruby and Nessa is now out. It's a longer one and there is more than one ghost to contend with. And more than one secret they uncover ...

I was inspired to write these stories after reading a book called Haunted Leeds. We've got a theatre and a music hall in the centre of Leeds, and both are apparently haunted. I combined both aspects of the buildings in my story.  I had a visit to Leeds to get some photos of these lovely buildings.

This is The Grand. Built in 1878. I've been here to see Wicked, Grease and Joseph. It's a beautiful building.








In contrast, this is the alley way that leads to City Varieties Music Hall. A TV show called The Good Old Days was filmed here for years. I've been to see a few comedians here.



Here is the oldest church in Leeds, St John's. Built in 1632. I walked through the gardens on my way to the theatre. Unfortunately, the paved area is made of gravestones and you have no option but to walk on them. I sent a silent apology over each one as I walked across.



Another old church I walked past is Trinity Church. Built in 1727. It's in front of a new shopping centre which is called Trinity. The shopping centre has a clear roof and you can see the church spire through it.
