Introducing my second novel: Keep Him Close

I can finally tell you a little bit more about my second novel, a dark domestic drama called Keep Him Close, which will be out in 2020.This is the text that has started appearing on bookselling websites, and my publisher's website:

One son lied. One son died.

Alice’s son is dead. Indigo’s son is accused of murder.

Indigo is determined to prove her beloved Kane is innocent. Searching for evidence, she is helped by a kind stranger who takes an interest in her situation. Little does she know that her new friend has her own agenda…

Alice can’t tell Indigo who she really is. She wants to understand why her son was killed – and she needs to make sure that Indigo’s efforts to free Kane don’t put her remaining family at risk. But how long will it take for Indigo to discover her identity? And what other secrets will come out as she digs deeper?

No one knows a son like his mother. But neither Alice nor Indigo know the whole truth about their boys, and what happened between them on that fateful night.

Keep Him Close is a dark domestic drama from an award-winning writer.

I've been working on Keep Him Close in earnest for eighteen months, but the idea came to me back in 2016, before I even got a publishing deal for my debut, If I Die Before I Wake. It is currently scheduled to come out in hardback and e-book formats in March/April 2020. I can't wait for you all to read it!It looks like it is already available to pre-order on sites like Amazon and Waterstones. There's no cover design to see yet... watch this space for updates on that!
