I Am So Lucky

A Murderer on the Loose.
A Detective Haunted by the Past.
A Race Against Time.

DCI Jonathan Walker is a senior detective for the Lancashire Constabulary in North West England. He’s haunted by events of the past and hell bent on redemption, if he can stay healthy for long enough that is.

After a body turns up in the sleepy village of Rufford, Walker returns from his leave of absence early, his experience deemed crucial for the case. But when it transpires the crime may be linked to a decades old cold case involving the murder of his sister, the crime becomes personal: he needs this — for his wife and kids, to make amends for past mistakes, and for the current victim — but he must toe the line if he isn’t to be thrown off the case.

When more people start to go missing and bodies turn up with the same bizarre signature, Walker and his team realise they have a serial killer on their hands. But time is running out if they want to save more people from dying, and one in particular, and Walker has to consider breaking the law himself to make things right, once and for all.

Rancher Noah Tanner doesn’t believe in love, especially after his fiancee dumped him and married his best friend. But when Josie Reid jumps into his truck, pleading for help, he’s ready to forget his troubles and come to her rescue. Little does he know she’s the biggest trouble he’s ever met.

Josie just wants one thing — to find her forever home in Calamity, Texas. But when everything goes haywire, she finds herself stuck with a headstrong cowboy who makes a wild proposition… and she’s just desperate enough to agree to it.

A cop, a pig, and a serial killer walk into a bar.

Seal Island is home to a moonshine making billionaire, a pot growing fisherman, a celebrity flower child, a handsome romance writer, a sex addicted realtor, a womanizing pub owner, a cop, a pot-bellied pig… and a serial killer.

The island is serene and remote. It is only accessible by boat. The residents like it that way, until those with the deepest and darkest of secrets start dying in the most bizarre of ways.

Upon discovering widow, Eliza Bone, floating bottoms-up in her Oscar fish tank, the one clue that the crime solving duo of Sergeant Betty Bruce and her pot-bellied pig, Gertrude, have is a set of muddy gumboot tracks left at the scene. The problem: everyone on Seal Island wears gumboots.

As two more people die and secrets begin to unravel, Betty and Gertrude soon find themselves in the cross-hairs of a serial killer.

In the end, only Gertrude may be left standing!

Colm Lowe is an artist, a watercolourist, specialising in birds. His life with his wife, Maggie, changes when he moves from London’s suburbs to a house in Devon overlooking the Exe estuary. It changes even more, and not for the better, when Maggie’s father, Jack, a widower, comes to live with them. Struggling under the pressures of caring for Jack, Maggie and Colm begin to see each other differently. Cracks appear in their marriage. When Jack asks Colm to help him die, Colm glimpses freedom and decides to oblige by leaving Jack to drown in the bath. But it’s not that simple. Mercy killing, practised without a manual, is not an exact science.

Hunted during the day by her abusive ex. Haunted at night by horrors of the past.

Her car breaks down outside the small village of Black Water Creek. Kelly reluctantly stays with the local auto mechanic and his wife until she can get back on her feet. She lands a job, moves into an isolated cottage by the river, and dreams of a fresh start and stable life for her son. Despite swearing off men, she finds herself falling for her boss, a handsome and kind Army Ranger combat veteran with his own troubled past.

Just when it seems like Kelly is finally getting her life together and may have found real love, vivid dreams of torture and murder, taking place in her own quaint cottage, plague her nights and haunt her days. She starts to investigate the dark past of what she thought was her dream home. To make matters worse, she suspects her ex has tracked her down, looking for revenge and threatening to destroy her new life.

Set against the stark and harrowing backdrop of America’s first settlement, Jamestown, Virginia, in 1609, this narrative transports readers to a time of profound struggle and transformation.

Matthew, an Englishman, is skeptical of his friend Richard’s tales of a paradisiacal Jamestown, soon finds himself engulfed in the brutal reality of this so-called paradise. Arriving in Virginia, he is initially struck by the unspoiled beauty of the land, a stark contrast to the dark undercurrents of greed and conflict that soon emerge. The community, gripped by gold fever, grows increasingly hostile towards the native inhabitants, foreshadowing imminent bloodshed.

As the narrative unfolds, Matthew’s journey becomes a gripping tale of survival against all odds. The harsh winter ushers in “the starving time,” a period marked by extreme deprivation and moral decay. Wracked with guilt over his transgressions against Richard and tormented by forbidden desires, Matthew teeters on the brink of despair.

In his darkest hour, choosing death over a life sullied by depravity, Matthew finds unexpected salvation among the Powhatan, his erstwhile enemies. This twist of fate propels him into an entirely new existence, challenging his beliefs and loyalties. The story poses the question: what does this new life hold for Matthew, and can he endure amidst such tumultuous change?
