Hi everyone,
I’m insanely excited to announce the release of Native Tongue, the much-anticipated follow up to Desert Heat. When I wrote Desert Heat, I never intended to write any more about those characters, but it seems they struck a chord with folk, because I actually got emails about Hugh and Rustam, begging for a sequel. I was more than happy to oblige, as, along the way I’d become very fond of those boys, too. So here it is… their follow up story!
Blurb:
They may be back on British soil, but the battle isn’t over.
When Captain Hugh Wilkes fell for his Afghan interpreter, Rustam Balkhi, he always knew things would never be easy. After months of complete secrecy, their return to England should have spelt an end to the sneaking around and the insane risks. But it seems there are many obstacles for them to overcome before they can truly be happy together. Can they get past those obstacles, or is this one battle too many for their fledgling relationship?

The Hugh and Rustam news doesn’t stop there, however. I’ve put together a bundle of both books for those that haven’t read either, and it’ll be available exclusively from Amazon from Thursday. ALSO, I’m putting both books together in paperback format, too! I’m at the mercy of Createspace for timing on that, though, so watch this space.
I really hope everyone enjoys this story – I certainly enjoyed writing it!
Happy Reading!

Between submitting THROUGH HER EYES for publication and completing the final edits, I found myself reading a lot of true crime books. Lots of stuff on criminal profiling, unsolved cases, and serial killers. It was coincidence, but it was also great timing when the edits came in! I didn’t want to make the story procedural-heavy, but as the hero, Dom, is a police detective, I think I was able to make him a little more real by working in some of the facts I’d picked up. I was also able to flesh out the villain of the story by adding in little behavioural cues based on real-life serial killers. I didn’t want to shoehorn anything in, like “look at me, I read some stuff!!!”, but hopefully the extras I did squeeze in help to build the tension and chills in the story!
Welcome back to My Sexy Saturday. This is where writers post either 7 words, 7 sentences or 7 paragraphs from their published work or work in progress. This week I’m sharing another snippet from 
“Just remember what it is your body is crying out for at this moment in time.”
Every individual is just that—a person with their own thoughts, actions, and quirks. I look at my three brothers, all from the same two amazing parents as me, and they’re so different from each other you wouldn’t think they were siblings. While some mannerisms and sayings are similar from a shared childhood, they are three very different men.
