Book 1
A Lapse of Sanity
a ghost story
Life will never be the same for Chloe Hetherington following a life changing accident. Rowan Cottage in picturesque Willows Dip was a dream home but dreams become nightmares in moments and changes have to be adapted to.
In an effort to alleviate her worries she takes a walk and during that walk stumbles upon a derelict cottage. Curiosity gets the better of her and finding the door open she enters and encounters the ghost of its occupant. That sets in motion a quest to find out more about the old lady and she visits a spiritualist church.
Her next walk, this time in the woods backing onto her cottage, is equally if differently disturbing. The woods are home to the enigmatic Nathaniel O'Keefe, a part Romany gypsy, and their meeting upsets everything that Chloe holds dear.
Outside forces intrude upon her life and she has choices to make, but will they be the right ones, and what effect will they have on hers and her family's lives?
In addition to Amazon the paperback is also available to order from Waterstones, Barnes and Noble and other booksellers, ISBN 9781781763650

Book 5
Not Reported Missing
Young photography student Josh Hetherington-O’Keefe is out walking his Border Collie Izzy over the common at dawn and photographing the wildlife when Izzy becomes interested in a pile of rags dumped beside the rushes. On closer inspection Josh sees that it is the body of what looks like a middle aged man and shaken by the discovery he calls the police. There is no identification on the body. All that there is is a wallet containing a few pounds and a photograph, and a key. Who is the man? Who is in the photograph and where is the door that the key fits? The ghost of the man’s body has its own voice and frustrations at the lack of memory. Villagers old and new all speculate on the mystery and during the course romances flourish as life continues to unfold in this quintessentially English village.
Mystery and romance: first love, young love, older love and love in between. Willow's Dip is a good place to be - for some.
This is a family/village saga but will stand alone as a story although the main characters from the previous books, also Whisper to Me, are featured as well as new ones.
