Darcy Lane

As she sat in her bed reading from a book, seven-year-old Elise Rose was unaware that her childhood would be over by morning. She was too young to know that violent hands played cruel tricks or that innocence held little fight against cheap beer and cigarette butts. After the trauma of childhood, Elise, now twenty years old, walks the streets in need of escape. The town around her has become stained and the ghost of a loved one will not let her rest. So, when she stumbles across an isolated house at the end of Darcy Lane, she believes that she has found the thing that she needs more than any other. The house is away from town, surrounded by green fields and absent of the memories that she would rather forget. The house is bright in the morning sun and soon becomes lodged in her imagination. So, the question is set. How far is she willing to go in search of absolution?

Dark Horses

Fiona Hamilton has a secret – a child given up for adoption years ago, with whom she might now be able to reconnect.  This doesn’t sit well with husband Michael who believes that sordid episode should stay in the past. 

Fiona’s search is further complicated by the fact that not only do teenage daughters Sarah and Jude not know they have a half-brother somewhere but Sarah has been diagnosed with life-threatening anorexia and it’s unclear how the news might affect her prognosis.

Michael’s illusory, picture-perfect life is now unravelling fast.   After uncovering his latest affair, Fiona wants out of the sham marriage and him out of the house, a Georgian villa called Lionsgate.  He stands to lose everything he holds dear, most especially the property for which he suddenly espouses a strong attachment.

What secret does Lionsgate hold? The answer will rock Fiona’s world as she attempts to navigate the minefield surrounding her, desperately trying to find answers and right past wrongs.  But will the truth set her free or enslave her forever?

Dark Regressions

What do you know about the occult? Michael Deville knew very little.

He is suffering from the effects of a terminal illness and lives with his wife Helena Rose, his only companion, who is a working nurse.

During the long periods of time when he finds himself alone, Michael occupies himself by reading through old papers and documents that he found in the spare room, some of which were decidedly unusual. Michael finds himself experiencing particularly disturbing hallucinations that seem to be connected in some indefinable way to the strange manuscripts he had discovered.

Are they dreams; or perhaps visions of times from a distant past? Times that held him trapped in history – his history?

What is the connection between The Count and the Convent of the Golden Orb?

Who is the Man in Black?
