Jo’s neck starts to change, Jo knows there is only one thing for it…
RUN!

With Bowden’s men hot on Jo’s heels, it’s a race to stay one step ahead - and to finally discover the truth about what’s happening to him.

Soon, it isn’t just Jo who is in serious danger. If he doesn’t tell his new friends everything, the chances are they’ll be hurt – and he’ll be dragged back to the clinic and into Bowden’s clutches.

has RECEIVED a

Chill with a Book READERS’ Award



While taking a cooling stroll alongside the river, on a hot, summer’s day, Molly Smythe stumbles and falls in. Unable to swim, the strong current pulls her down into the deep, murky depths. The year is 1860. When Charlie Rowland comes to Molly’s rescue, and pulls her from the water, she finds herself in the twenty-first century.

Charlie knows there’s something different about Molly and gains her trust, whereupon she shares her new secret with him. Molly needs to prove she is telling the truth but no one can find any record of her, or her family’s, existence in the nineteenth century. With Charlie’s help, she sets out to find what happened to her family, while not knowing if she will ever see them again.

Unfortunately, neither of them anticipated falling in love and now Molly must decide between saving her family or staying with the man she loves.

How do you choose between love and duty?

The Sign of the Blood by Laurence O'Bryan



The Sign of the Blood
has RECEIVED a

Chill with a Book READERS’ Award


The first Christian emperor faces ruthless enemies on his journey to power.

"Exciting and original" - SJA Turney, author of Praetorian.

Cool mist settles over the legion advancing toward the Persian army. Constantine, the son of an emperor, the Roman officer leading the attack, tells his men to halt - something is wrong.

Before long, the battle rages. He frees a slave named Juliana. She is half Persian and half Roman. As they are pursued to Britannia over land and sea, he learns that she can see the future - his future.

It is 306A.D., long before Constantine the Great converted to Christianity and became the first Christian emperor.

To ensure he survives, he must eliminate his enemies. But who must die first? The priestess, Sybellina, who joined them in Rome and practices dark and seductive magic? Or the brutal legion commanders who surround his father? Or, as Juliana suspects, are those who want him dead even closer?

A gripping historical novel about Constantine’s bloody rise to power, the woman who helped him, and the real reason he supported a persecuted Christian minority, a decision which changed the world into the one we know.
