The Author’s Cut

For thirty years, Milly Johnson has been living a life nobody really sees. From the outside, there is little to question: a marriage, a home, a life that carried on much as lives are expected to do.

Behind closed doors, the truth is very different. Once, Milly was a carefree teenager who imagined love, happiness and freedom waiting somewhere ahead of her. Instead, the years have left her almost unrecognisable from the girl she used to be.

But some parts of the past refuse to disappear completely. There was a time before Richard, before the secrets, before Milly learned how much of herself could be hidden from the world. And there was Jake Temple.

Thirty years may have passed, but memory has a peculiar way of preserving the things we thought we'd lost. As past and present begin to collide, choices made decades earlier start to matter again, and the lives of everyone involved are about to be changed in ways none of them could have imagined.

Because sometimes fate doesn't arrive with a warning. Sometimes it simply puts the right person in the wrong place at exactly the right time.

The Author's Cut is the first book in the Fate, Chance and Happenstance trilogy, a story of love, secrets, consequence and the choices that shape a lifetime.

The Repercussions

Richard Johnson has always believed that other people are responsible for the things that happen to him. Now, with his life spectacularly off course and old grievances refusing to stay buried, he has decided it is time to settle a few scores. Some are recent. Others have been waiting considerably longer.

Richard has a list, a talent for holding a grudge and his own peculiar ideas about justice. Unfortunately for the people who have found their way onto it, he is no longer particularly interested in consequences.

As those closest to him begin to realise just how far he is prepared to go, the question is no longer whether Richard has lost control, but whether anyone can stop him before his past catches up with all of them.

The Repercussions, the second book in the Fate, Chance and Happenstance trilogy, is a dark story of revenge, consequence and what happens when a man who believes he has nothing left to lose decides everyone else should pay the price.

Nothing But The Truth?

For thirty years, Jake Temple has controlled the story. The lies. The secrets. The version of the past everyone else was expected to believe.

But stories have a habit of changing when the wrong people start asking the right questions.

Now, as the truth about Milly Johnson begins to surface, Jake's carefully constructed life is starting to unravel. And a man with everything to lose can be far more dangerous than anyone imagined.

Old certainties begin to fracture. People who thought they understood what happened are forced to question everything they believed.

Because after thirty years of lies, only one question matters. What really happened to Milly Johnson?
