This novel was honoured at the 2024 London Book Fair in the UK Selfies Book Awards, and won Gold in the NIEA, Pencraft, Global and Incipere Book Awards. (“Witty, delectable, sparkling” – Publishers Weekly.)Susan is an imagining of Austen’s manipulative Lady Susan (of Austen’s early novella Lady Susan) at just sixteen. Expelled from an exclusive London academy for young ladies, Susan attracts the formidable Lady Catherine de Bourgh as patroness, and catches the fancy of the handsome Frank Churchill, fully a year before he first encounters Jane Fairfax… Susan was a starred “Editors Pick” and a quarterfinalist in Publisher Weekly’s Booklife Prize 2021, as well as Gold medallist in the Global, eLit and Incipere Book Awards. (“McVeigh’s prose and plotting are pitch perfect – she echoes the master herself” – Publishers Weekly.)In Harriet, a rather more clued-up Harriet Smith is secretly determined to marry a gentleman. And who better to assist her ambition than Miss Woodhouse, the envied queen of Highbury? This is Emma, but described from the dual points of view of Harriet and Jane Fairfax. Harriet – really, it should have been called Jane and Harriet – was a runner-up in the 2022 Foreword Indies’ “Book of the Year” and won not only the Gold Medal in the Historical Fiction Society Awards 2023, but also bronze in the Independent Publishers Book Awards (the “IPPYs”).

THE STORY ROME NEVER WANTED TO BE REVEALED. For two thousand years, the rise and fall of Julius Caesar has captivated the world. All know his name. Few know the truth.
Love. Honor. Treachery. Justina. A name lost to history. A young girl, barely a woman, raised in the Roman elite. When her true identity is discovered, the revelation will send her world spinning and propel her down a path toward her destiny...and Caesar. With enemies and lies encompassing her entire existence, her true past will determine her incredible future and that of the entire Republic.
Power. Secrets. Betrayal. While Caesar builds his power in Rome, weaving a web of spies and alliances, one young girl's fate is on a collision course with his own. Rome's biggest challenge of the past 20 years came from a man known as Spartacus. Now, his unknown daughter threatens all that Rome has built.

Justina: Daughter of Spartacus is the first book in the epic Justina Saga. The story continues in Justina: Rebels of Rome: Part I and Justina: Rebels of Rome: Part II, both now available!

In 1846 Yorkshire, the Brontë sisters— Charlotte, Anne, and Emily— navigate precarious lives marked by heartbreak and struggle. Charlotte faces rejection from the man she loves, while their blind father and troubled brother add to their burdens. Despite their immense talent, no one will publish their poetry or novels. Amidst this turmoil, Emily encounters a charming shepherd during her solitary walks on the moors, yet he remains unseen by anyone else. After Emily' s untimely death, Charlotte— now a successful author with Jane Eyre— stumbles upon hidden letters and a mysterious map. As she stands on the brink of her own marriage, Charlotte is determined to uncover the truth about her sister' s secret relationship. The Man in the Stone Cottage is a poignant exploration of sisterly bonds and the complexities of perception, asking whether what feels real to one person can truly be real to another.

A dying monk. An iron key. A conspiracy older than Christendom.1347. Scribe Thomas of Eltville thought his greatest challenge would be copying manuscripts in peace. Then his mentor is murdered in front of him — and thrusts an iron key into his hands with his dying breath.The key unlocks a cipher hidden in manuscript margins across Europe. The cipher reveals a conspiracy that has been engineering human bloodlines — and human catastrophes — for over two thousand years.Now Thomas is running for his life with two unlikely allies: Margarethe, a cloth merchant whose father was tortured to death by the Order for knowing too much, and Maria, a fourteen-year-old girl who carries forty generations of forbidden knowledge encoded in her blood.Together, they must race across plague-ravaged Europe to find seven keys before the Order recaptures them. Each key reveals another layer of a conspiracy so vast it makes the Black Death look like a side project.Because the Order doesn't just preserve knowledge through dark ages — they create the dark ages.Collapse isn't inevitable. It's engineered. And Thomas has just become the one person who can prove it.The Aethelred Cipher is Book 1 of The Architecture of Survival — a 12-book saga spanning 3,200 years from Bronze Age Egypt to the modern era. Each book stands alone. Together, they tell the story of two competing networks locked in an existential war over humanity's future.
