Dear Goodreaders,

For the next five days my books are free to download from amazon.co.uk and amazon.com.

For YA readers...



It was Cassian Cromwell who first discovered how to capture any moment in time. And then to preserve that moment so perfectly that every sight, sound, touch, smell, person and place within it could be visited, again and again.

A hundred and forty-one years later, Kaida Hummingtree is about to learn the secrets of time capture. But on her first day at the prestigious Cromwell College, she finds that a very different destiny awaits her. She's forced to explore some of the most dangerous captures, the ones that no sane person would ever agree to enter, the ones that have already killed her sister. And she's terrified of losing her life too.

Kaida must survive long enough to discover who is trying to kill her. But can she truly change a fate that was chosen for her long ago? Or will time prove to be the ultimate enemy?

And for 9-12 year olds...


Kalizanda Veronica Fox is a trouble-magnet. She's also desperate to become a super-brilliant detective, despite a woeful lack of support from her family...who she's not even sure she belongs to!

But when her dad inherits a castle in Wales, Kali discovers a pile of old bones and a crime so ancient and scary (yikes!), that she's determined to solve it.

With the help of her new friend, Effie Goodrich, Kali vows to investigate no matter how dangerous, peculiar and smelly things become...no matter how many shocking secrets she discovers about her own mysterious (and slightly weird) ancestors. But will Kali and Effie ever emerge from the final hairy-scary escapade that threatens to kill them both?

This daring, fun-filled adventure will make you gasp, giggle and hug your best friends tightly.

Happy reading!
