Welcome to a first look at the cozy mysteries I’m crafting — stories set between the wars, where quiet glamour, gentle intrigue, and the resilience of ordinary lives shape every chapter. These novels are currently in development with my agent’s guidance as I take the next steps toward publication.

In Shadows at Bramblewick, Mary Collins arrives at a peaceful farm expecting hard work, new friendships, and a fresh start. But when a body is discovered at the boundary of the fields, the calm rhythms of village life are shattered. With her keen eye for detail and a heart shaped by resilience, Mary finds herself drawn into a mystery that no one else is ready to face.

In Death on the Maiden Crossing, Vera Miles boards the SS Arcadia expecting a voyage of elegance, duty, and new beginnings. Instead, she finds herself navigating a ship divided by class, ambition, and unspoken tensions. As whispers spread and strange incidents unsettle the crew, Vera realises that something far darker is unfolding beneath the Arcadia’s polished surface.
