    In Megan’s Garden, our psychic teenager seeks to apply what she has learned from the old Russian lady into practise. Her parents give her a free hand over the back garden, where she spends hours having fun every day. She remembers the wood nymph when she sees a Fairy Ring in her lawn, and tries to start a conversation with the Little People who she believes are tending her flowers. 
    The Psychic Megan Series consists of twenty-three novelettes about a young girl`s growing realisation that she is able to do things that none of her family can. Megan is twelve years old in the first volume. She has two seemingly insurmountable problems. Her mother is frightened of her daughter`s latent abilities and not only will not help her but actively discourages her; and she can’t find a teacher to help her develop her supernatural, psychic powers. For she wants not only to know what it is possible to do and how to do it, but to what end she should put her special abilities. Megan is a good girl, so it would seem obvious that she would tend towards using her powers for good, but it is not always easy to do the right thing even if you know what that is. 
    These stories about Megan will appeal to anyone who has an interest in psychic powers, the supernatural and the paranormal and is between the ages of ten and a hundred years old.

When it gently swings open, what I see inside changes everything…

    Slapping the man who groped her isn’t a good career move, but successful ad executive Emily Archer has had it up to here with salacious looks and sexist comments. Unfortunately, the person she smacked is a top executive of her company’s biggest client. Instead of sitting in her hard-earned corner office pouring over marketing proposals, Emily is digging into her past with an EMDR psychotherapist to understand what caused her to snap. 
    Then when Emily discovers a sexual predator may be targeting women, she’s determined to stop him. But does she have the courage and tenacity to take down a well-known celebrity? She dodges his threats—and police warnings not to interfere—looking for evidence to connect the dots. The closer Emily inches toward the truth, the closer she comes to a dangerous confrontation where she could be his next—and final—victim. 
    Her Past Can't Wait is a gripping novel about resilient women fighting back, protecting each other, and healing.

    THOMAS KNIGHT believes in magic, especially at this time of year. He wouldn’t be surprised if Santa himself descended from the night sky and asked for directions to the nearest reindeer servicing depot. Tonight, Tom will discover that magic is real as he is thrust into a world of mythical creatures, magical objects, evil sorcerers and very cold feet. 
    Walking home after a Christmas party, the fourteen-year-old is caught in a magical portal and transported to a mystical realm terrorised by an evil sorcerer. In his attempt to get back to his own world, Tom meets an unemployed cleric who soon learns that Tom is a powerful hero, about whom the ancient Lost Scrolls were written centuries before. 
    Tom enlists the help of a vampire with an affliction, a young werewolf, a fairy with a masculinity complex and a weepy seer to help him get home. However, before he can leave this realm, Tom must defeat its evil ruler, Count Balfour, steal the source of his power, a book containing the most powerful magic and use it to open a portal back to his Berkshire home. That’s the easy part. The real trouble starts when he tries to use magic. He has power, that much is certain, but it’s like using a flame thrower to light a birthday candle.
