The romance grows… and the mystery deepens. The storm on the horizon isn’t all from mother nature.

Happy in her new life in River’s End, Christie Ryan loves the little cottage she’s renovating and the man she longs to marry.

But that happiness is shaken when a mysterious woman commissions a painting from Martin Blake, insisting on secrecy and creating undercurrents of suspicion.

The cottage is targeted as part of a shocking crime spree as pressure mounts for it to be sold. When Christie finds herself at odds with Martin over her safety, their disagreement sets in motion a series of events playing straight into the hands of the one person who wants to destroy everything she’s worked so hard to build.

In a heart-stopping series of events, Christie comes face to face with her greatest fear… and there is no going around it.

ONE WORLD. THREE SERIES. FOURTEEN STORIES.

Did you know that most of my books are connected? 

Rivers End begins the journey as old mysteries and family secrets take you on an emotional ride as wrongs are righted. This is where we meet Dr Charlotte Dean and Daphne Jones against the backdrop of the Great Southern Ocean.

The Charlotte Dean Mysteries takes us inland to Kingfisher Falls, as Charlie starts over in a bookshop. With her boss, Rosie (who rocks her wheelchair by the way), Charlotte finds herself in the middle of small town crime. And a chance for love.

Daphne and John Jones live in Rivers End but have retired, and in their restored caravan (Bluebell) travel between small towns so Daphne can officiate weddings and funerals. Having such a keen interest in helping people, it isn’t long before she has to release her inner sleuth. 

Visit Rivers End and you’ll find more than wild beaches and later in life romance… you’ll find a whole world.

In 2017, The Stationmaster’s Cottage was released as a standalone novel. I had no plans to write more about River’s End or the sweeping story of love lost and regained. Thanks to some rather persistent readers, I reconsidered and here we are in 2021, with the descendants of that first book.

The image shows how connected many of my stories are. In Jasmine Sea (book 2 River’s End), a young woman burst onto the scene and not only became an important character for two books, but then insisted on having her own series. The Charlotte Dean Mysteries are her story, and as the books go on, Trev Sibbritt, the police officer from River’s End, becomes central to Charlotte’s books.

In The Stationmaster’s Cottage, Christie Ryan meets a couple who run the local real estate agency. Daphne and John Jones are in the first four River’s End books and now have their own series, the Daphne Jones Mysteries.

Daphne and John make a cameo appearance in Charlotte’s series and one day, they will head back to River’s End. Who knows, perhaps Charlotte will join them as well.

Last Known Contact is a crime suspense with a touch of romance and is a standalone. It is a book I loved writing and admit to rereading on occasion. Ellie is one of those characters who made me cross at times but also gave me tears and joy. She is stronger than she believes – certainly in the beginning – and has a lot to learn about herself along the way.

Ellie’s father is missing. Jack should have met up with Ellie’s husband to go sailing but didn’t show. Or did he? Described by Matt Pechy (Reedsy reviewer) as ‘a fast-paced story that keeps the reader guessing until all the pieces fall into place. Recommended for those who love a good mystery where family ties are severed, as well as the reader who enjoys a police procedural with some dramatic flair.’
