I’m delighted to share some exciting news!
This month sees the release of two brand-new works of fiction, The Ophelias and The Bone Sellers, available exclusively on Kindle, alongside the Kindle-exclusive re-release of select novels from my backlist: Fuse, Sharp Edges, and Dark Poppy’s Demise.
As an author, there are few things more rewarding than giving stories a second life and introducing them to a new generation of readers. Several of these books have been unavailable for some time, and I’ve received countless messages over the years asking where readers can find them. I’m thrilled that they are now available once again in digital format, making them accessible to readers around the world.
My newly released novels continue my love of suspense, mystery, and emotionally charged young adult fiction. While each story explores different themes and characters, both The Ophelias and The Bone Sellers delve into the darker corners of human nature, asking difficult questions about identity, belonging, obsession, and survival.
Let’s take a closer look!
What’s it about?
Everyone thinks Mel is dead. Addie isn’t so sure.
Teenagers across the country are terrified of the Ophelia Killer — a murderer who leaves his victims posed in rivers, flowers clasped in their hands like the girls in a famous painting. But for Addie Hughes and her best friend Mel Wright, the case is an obsession. Together they’ve spent years collecting every article, photograph, and rumour in a scrapbook they call The Book.
Then Mel vanishes.
When one of Mel’s boots is discovered on a riverbank, the police assume the worst: the Ophelia Killer has claimed another victim. Refusing to believe the official story, Addie launches her own investigation into the dark secrets surrounding her friend’s disappearance.

What’s it about?
In the shadows of Cape Town, there are fates far worse than death.
Siblings Keenan and Joy Blackburn are still reeling from the loss of their parents when they become trapped in the grip of the Black Widows — a terrifying gang of voudou practitioners who control the city from the shadows. Their power is absolute, and those who fail to repay their debts suffer a horrifying punishment: the loss of their very essence, leaving behind nothing but an empty shell.

Alongside these new releases, I’m also bringing back four of my earlier novels:
Fuse: a gripping story of bullying, violence, and teenagers on the run.
Dark Poppy’s Demise: an award-winning psychological thriller about a lonely teenager who becomes entangled with an online predator.
Sharp Edges: an award-winning mystery set against the backdrop of a music festival where only five of six friends return home.
Mine: (coming soon) a tense young adult thriller exploring the destructive power of love.
Whether you’ve been reading my books for years or are discovering them for the first time, I hope these stories find a place on your Kindle and stay with you long after you’ve turned the final page.
Thank you to everyone who has supported my writing journey. Every review, recommendation, message, and purchase helps keep these stories alive.
