I write books - adult fiction with elements of fantasy and suspense. Looking for representation, of course! Based in London. Oh, and I host D4 Sports, a podcast about sports and drinking.
I know trains aren’t a priority in the US, but when a trip is 4.5 hrs late - on a 5.5 hr trip - and you miss an international flight because Amtrak can’t figure itself out, it’s pretty hard to take.

New manuscript done.
Five Keys to Keep You
Nine year old Myranda vanished more than 20 years ago, and the only place Iva had seen her since was in the imaginary world of her childhood. Until tonight. Was it real or was it a dream?
It may be a dream, but it’s not just a dream.

Did they just do that? With the blinds open? The new couple in the rental across the street are revealing a lot about themselves!
Soon he and his wife will be drawn into their world too - but not in the way they expect.
