    Up-and-comer Ashley Branson usually aims to keep both feet placed firmly on the ground—unless she's instructing a class at her trendy cat yoga studio. But she soon finds herself caught in a downward spiral when a stretch beyond her comfort zone leads to murder . . .  
     
     
     
    Ashley Branson is sure of one thing after experiencing a disastrous blind date—she would much rather enjoy the single life and hang out with playful felines at her studio, A Purrfect Pose, than ever compromise her inner peace like that again.

Adding to the chaos, she believes her shifty neighbor—covered in unexplained injuries and rumored to harbor a crush on her—could be connected to the crime. Now, with more leads than she needs, Ash must take a deep breath, pull on her big-girl leggings, and move faster than the cunning killer who wants to put her in corpse pose for good . . .

    Grief is a bitch. 
    When Tony Mora’s partner Clyde dies saving his life during a botched DEA operation, the loss throws him in a tailspin. Not that things were going so well before that. Between the married (albeit unhappily) co-worker carrying his baby and his dead partner's widow putting the moves on him, Tony's romantic relationships are a complete disaster. 
    Truth is, mid-level boss Franklin Hayes didn’t intend to shoot Tony’s partner. Business meetings can be tense, but they don’t have to end in a bloodbath. Unless that was the plan. With Tony on his trail, Franklin discovers he's merely a pawn in the unraveling Siriano criminal organization, but he may be stuck in a power struggle well beyond his control. 
    Brimming with action, the alternating POVs in “Too Late to Say Goodbye” explore the depths of friendship and ambition. The novel answers the question: How far are people really willing to go for revenge?

    Jessica Morrison’s parents were murdered sixteen years ago. Now the killer is coming for her.
    Looking back, Jessica had a picture-perfect childhood, but that was all ripped to shreds when her loving parents were killed. Eventually, the case went cold and Jessica realized the police barely investigated. She was too young to do anything about their inaction, so she concentrated on growing up as fast as possible under the care of her uncle.
    But life had never been the same after that day and her uncle never opened up about the details of her parents death.
    And he never will because now he’s dead.
    Jessica recognizes that the killer used the same signature as her parent’s death. It has to be the same killer and once again the police don’t want to investigate. There’s something suspicious going on and Jessica begins to understand why her uncle never talked about her parent’s murders–to protect her.

    George Chetwynd Griffith-Jones was born on 20th August, 1857, in Plymouth, South-West England to a clergyman father who was frequently moved to different parishes.   
     
    Although Griffith did briefly attend school there were only limited funds to provide a formal education for him and his elder brother.  Consequently, they were primarily home schooled with their father teaching them Latin and Greek and their mother, French.  There was also an extensive family library which Griffith devoured. 
     
    At 15 he joined a ship as an apprentice but deserted when it arrived in Australia to travel around for 4 years before working his passage back to England.  
     
    He settled in Sussex, to teach English at a prep school and studied at night to gain formal qualifications.  After a further year of study at a German university he taught in Brighton but now his passion for writing also led him to journalism.  He contributed to various pamphlets, newspaper and periodicals, writing on secularism and socialism as well as travelogues, volumes of poetry and, of course, short stories.  His vivid writing style and knack for storytelling paved the way for his success as a novelist.  
     
    In 1893, Griffith published his first novel, ‘The Angel of the Revolution’, an instant success of dystopia featuring advanced aerial warfare and anarchist revolutionaries.  Griffith's output of over a dozen novels and numerous short stories influenced later science fiction writers and left a lasting legacy in place.  He also wrote romance, adventure and supernatural stories. 
     
    His writing was not always successful, and he often faced personal and financial difficulties. 
     
    George Griffith died at his home in Port Erin, Isle of Man of cirrhosis of the liver on 10th June, 1906.  He was 48.
