Yesterday’s Shadow – pre-order for February 2024
On a frozen Cambridge night at the turn of the millennium, sixteen-year-old Nick becomes the reluctant saviour of a homeless man named Peter. In the weeks that follow, Peter introduces Nick to his faith, which offers Nick certainty just when he needs it. But as Nick learns more about Peter, doubts emerge about the path he has chosen.
Can Peter help Nick cope with his parents’ separation? What about his budding relationship with the headstrong Jo? And let’s not start on the looming threat of exams. Who truly needs who, as the long winter continues?

Beach of Spies: A Thriller. Of sorts.
Can you guess what it’s about? I’m hoping to have a better title by the time I finish writing it, but given my track record so far, this seems unlikely.
