Latest Release

51kAYbNnSQL._SL500_-2.jpg

A BRAND-NEW darkly addictive psychological thriller with the most shocking twists you’ll listen to this year, from a bestselling author.

They say blood is thicker than water. I say blood is just harder to wash off your hands.

My name’s Kimberley. I’m twenty-five. I have epilepsy, a seizure alert dog named Muffin, and a job I love as a senior housekeeper in one of London’s top hotels. I’m used to being invisible. Overlooked. Safe.

But that was before Jennifer Clifton checked in. She’s rich, powerful, terrifyingly calm — and she asks for me by name.

She offers me my dream job, working in her exclusive hotel in the Scottish Highlands. It’s more money than I ever imagined.

There’s just one catch: Don’t open the door to Room 21.

How hard can that be?

But something is wrong in this hotel. The guests give me the creeps. The staff whisper behind closed doors. And that room — the one I promised not to enter — calls to me.

I took this job for a better life. Now I’m trapped in a nightmare.

Warning: This book contains dark and disturbing themes.

This addictive thriller packed with chilling secrets is perfect for fans of Daniel Hurst, Freida McFadden, Mark Edwards, John Marrs and Jane E. James.

For those who don’t know … I’m writing a book!!! 

Audiobooks will still be my beating heart together with VO, but I think when you’re a creative you lend your talent to more than one thing. Writing, art, music, culinary, acting… I come from a family of artists, poets, creatives so it’s in my blood. 

So yes. I’m writing a book and this is the space… I also wanted to keep it minimalist because this is where my husband will sit to do his calls when home, so it needs to be a multipurpose spot. 

Looking outside so I can see the world beyond these windows, with the fire going, the dogs bed by it where they can snore gently, and this old ancient teachers desk that’s full of life and stories. The chair was my step father’s and one of my greatest treasures, I remember him sitting in it in the home office. These memories seep into me as I work.

And the book? You will have to wait & see…

Have a beautiful day
