    Teaser time!

    So, as promised, below is a short snippet from book 2. Please note this is subject to change. I will be putting book 2 up for pre-order on Amazon in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for it, but until then: The DJ changes the song and the upbeat tempo seems to have everyone gravitating towards the dance floor. I look down at my heels, wondering if I should just kick them off and have done with it. I feel his eyes on me and I look up. “That reminds me…” With one hand on his hip, he looks me up and down.

    Fractured 2

    Hi everyone, Firstly, many thanks to all who have emailed me and shown an interest in ‘Fractured’. Your thoughts and comments are very much appreciated and very overwhelming. Also, to anyone who has emailed me or contacted me on FB, and if I haven’t responded, please do not take this personally. I work a normal Monday to Friday 9 to 5 and don’t always check. Secondly, an update regarding book two.

There are a few factors that…
