I am thrilled to announce my new upcoming thriller novel, One Step Closer. A real cat-and-mouse story about a detective who is on the hunt for a killer. But is all as it seems?

I began writing this one way back in 2021, but it got parked when I fell into a writer’s block with it. In truth, it began life as a romance, but as the story went on, it became much clearer to me that it would sit way better as a thriller. So, a few years later, I went back to the writing board and began the rewrites. And I couldn’t be happier with how things turned out. This might be my favourite thriller that I’ve written to date. I had so much fun, and I hope you will too when you come to uncover all the secrets hidden below the surface.

Here’s what’s in store:

Two months ago, a man was murdered in his own flat.

Now, Piper is on the run, desperate to stay one step ahead of the police and the truth she’s trying to bury. But when the weight of it all drives her to the edge – literally – she meets Jack, a quiet, shaggy-haired farmer who offers her an unexpected lifeline.

Life on the farm should be her perfect hiding place: A fresh start in a remote village, far away from any city, where no one asks too many questions.

But when strange letters start arriving, suggesting Piper is hiding far more than she’s letting on, Jack’s trust begins to waver, and suspicion about what Piper is really running away from takes root.

With the police and the media closing in, and her secrets threatening to unravel, Piper must decide: Can she keep running from her truth – or will the truth finally catch up with her?

This is another novel published by the fantastic team at Next Chapter, and it will be on the shelves soon. I’ll keep you posted!
