  'A new Bradecote and Catchpoll (and Wakelin) medieval mystery is always a true delight ... An absolute joy'
  M. J. PORTER
  
  
  1140s Worcestershire is a place death visits often, and it is up to Serjeant Catchpoll and his new, unwanted superior, Undersheriff Hugh Bradecote to ensure that the guilty are brought to justice.
  
  In Servant of Death, the much-feared and hated Eudo - the Lord Bishop of Winchester's clerk - is bludgeoned to death in Pershore Abbey and laid before the altar like a penitent. A despicable man he may have been, but who had reason to kill him?
  
  In book 2, Ordeal by Fire, Catchpoll hopes a fire at a Worcester silversmith's is just an accident, but then a charred corpse is discovered following a second fire. Hugh Bradecote may be new to the job of Undersheriff compared to his wily colleague, but his analytical eye is soon hard at work to find a vengeful arsonist.
  
  In Marked to Die, the third instalment in the series, the lord Sheriff of Worcestershire cannot ignore brazen attacks on the salt road from Wich, so Hugh Bradecote and Serjeant Catchpoll have an elusive master archer in their sights.
  
  In book 4, Hostage to Fortune, the sleuths face a frantic race against time in an unforgiving winter landscape. The Archbishop of Canterbury's envoy, his entourage of monks and Bradecote's betrothed Christina are travelling on a pilgrimage when they are captured by a renegade who kills for pleasure. Undersheriff Bradecote and Serjeant Catchpoll must orchestrate a rescue before a psychopath does his worst and Bradecote cracks under the pressure.
  
  The fast-paced and suspenseful medieaval mystery series continues in Vale of Tears. A body is found floating by Fladbury mill, a man who has been stabbed but not robbed. Undersheriff Hugh Bradecote, Serjeant Catchpoll and their young apprentice Walkelin discover him to be a horse dealer with a beautiful young wife who strays. Did the wife or a lover get rid of him? What link is there to a defrocked monk who was hanged for theft, and where is the horse dealer's steed?

  Miguel & Elizabeth Newquay Beach Tales 2024 
  Book 3 of 6 Harvest of Hope 
  This is the third book in the series and the story is as follows: 
  As autumn arrives in Newquay, Miguel and Elizabeth navigate new challenges in their relationship. Miguel, now comfortable in the water again thanks to Elizabeth’s coaching, introduces her to his estranged, alcoholic father, Paul, at their Truro estate. Meanwhile, Elizabeth brings Miguel to meet her grieving mother, Dorothy, who slowly opens up about her late husband. When Paul hosts a harvest festival dinner, tentative hope emerges as the two broken parents connect—until Paul’s drinking triggers painful memories, causing Dorothy to retreat. Despite the setback, Miguel and Elizabeth recognize fragile progress in their families’ healing. Under a harvest moon, they reflect on grief’s nonlinear path and vow to keep nurturing hope, just as the ocean’s tides persist through change. The story captures intimate moments of vulnerability, the complexities of blended trauma, and the quiet resilience of love—both romantic and familial—against the backdrop of Cornwall’s golden autumn.  
  I do hope you enjoy this third instalment, and it's only $3,  
  I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 plus and is, what can I say, a love song in modern style . The closing music ends in a modern upbeat instrumental at 2 minutes plus again looking forward to the next episode!  
  The story itself runs to about 19 minutes and is narrated by my wife, Claire Francis, We used to live in Cornwall. 
  I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come

   Love is cheap. Love is cruel. Love can’t save us. 
  Victor Lang had everything—looks, money, fame. A chance to become the greatest swimmer in history. Until a failed dope test brought him crashing down. 
  According to the rumors, he turned into a recluse, a drug addict, a whore. Broken beyond repair. Incapable of love. 
  And for some reason, he’s set his sights on me. 
  A freak accident in his pool throws me into a world of wealth and status and people who are willing to do anything to get what they want. Before I know it, I’m being paid to fly to Italy and pose as his boyfriend. Trapped at his side, I learn what it means to truly hate someone. 
  Turns out, that’s exactly what he wants. 
  I can’t save him, and I can’t love him. But as things fall apart and I discover the truths he’s hiding, I learn that hate can be greater than love—an obsession, a prayer, dark days and darker nights, a need to be the only one who hurts him. Hate can heal the worst wounds love leaves behind. 
  But I have problems of my own, a broken spirit and loved ones to protect. And I’m scared to face the things he’s waking up inside of me. 
  A gritty, emotional, epic hate-to-love slow burn with an inexperienced top and his bratty bottom, hurt/comfort, obsession, and healing. 
  **Contains dark themes, adult content, and potential triggers, including (potential spoilers): sexual abuse (off the page), suicidal ideation, drug abuse, disordered eating, trauma, death, mental illness, homophobic language
