Welcome to my author website. From the age of ten when I was awarded second prize in a story-writing competition in my home town of Nottingham, I knew I wanted to be a writer. My journey to publication took a while, forty-seven years to be precise, but I’m delighted to say that after self-publishing my first four full-length novels, I signed a publishing deal in 2019 to write a series of three police-procedural crime thrillers for award-winning digital publisher, Bookouture. It is quite mind blowing that my first book with them, Little Girl Missing has been downloaded around the world by a quarter of a million people and has 85% four and five star ratings, way beyond my wildest dreams!
I signed a new contract with Bookouture to write two books which saw me return to the genre of my Liberty Sands trilogy – novels filled with emotion, love, heartbreak, humour and most importantly ‘real‘ people facing ‘real life‘ situations. I’m pleased to say both were very well received with My Mother’s Secret being my bestselling audiobook to date. As a result, I re-signed with them for two further two books in a similar genre, the most recent of which, My Daughter’s Lies was published in May 2024.
If you’d like to keep up with all my book and other news, do check out my blog which I write monthly and on which I often run competitions to win books and other prizes.
Melissa always believed that her daughter, Ruby was perfect until she found a note… She’s not who you think she is
Would you tell your best friend that her husband has cheated on her? Charlotte decides against it until circumstances force her to rethink her decision.
I was so sure I saw Sophie on the beach that day. But it couldn’t be her. Sophie’s dead…
Her voice is little more than a whisper and her eyes search mine. ‘A mother would know if her child had died, wouldn’t she?‘
My Mothers Secret, the first of my emotional women’s fiction books to publish with Bookouture in 2021, touched a nerve with readers who described it as ‘a powerful, emotional and beautifully written book’ and ‘both heartwarming and heartbreaking.’
It was followed by The Woman on the Beach later the same year, The Dilemma in 2022 and my latest release, My Daughter’s Lies in May 2024. They have achieved Amazon Top 20 bestseller status and a collection of orange banners for being chart toppers in their categories.
If police procedural crime thrillers are more to your taste, do try the DCI Rachel Hart series, starting with Little Girl Missing, followed by What He Did and then Why She Died. Written as J. G. Roberts. They can be read as standalone novels, but there is an underlying thread running through the three books which makes more sense if read in sequence.
Last night, Naomi tucked her five-year-old daughter into bed and kissed her goodnight. This morning, the little girl is missing and Naomi’s nightmare begins.

Holly appears to have the perfect life: a beautiful baby daughter, a glamorous new job in television and an adoring boyfriend. Is it all too good to be true?
If you like a mix of thriller and romance then Alice in Theatreland could be the one for you, particularly if you have a love of the 1970s and a passion for West End shows.
Nineteen-year-old dancer, Alice has always dreamed of seeing her name up in lights. But there is a darker side to the sparkle of show business that even her new friend, Gina cannot protect her from.
As well as my full-length books, I have also written two Christmas novellas, Christmas at Carol’s and the sequel, Carol’s Singing, and a short story called… Time for a Short Story. If you would like a taste of my writing style you can download a free romance short story HERE-
