The Unseen
Warren Hale has spent his life being ignored. Then he discovers he can become invisible.
Trapped in a dead-end factory job in the quiet Somerset town of Windyates, Warren has spent years keeping his head down, unnoticed and unimportant. Then, without warning, he discovers he can do more than disappear into the background.
He can become invisible.
At first, the power feels like freedom. No locked door can keep him out. No secret conversation is beyond his reach. No one can stop a man they cannot see. But when Warren uncovers a ruthless plot to murder a prominent businessman, his strange gift pulls him into a world of corruption, violence and corporate ambition.
At the centre of it all is Vivian Kaine, the cold-blooded CEO of Kaine Industries, a woman prepared to destroy anyone who threatens her empire. As Warren digs deeper, he realises the conspiracy reaches further than he imagined — and that innocent lives are already in danger.
But invisibility does not make him invincible.
Every choice Warren makes drags him further from the ordinary life he once knew. To survive, he must decide what kind of man he is willing to become when no one can see him.
The Unseen is a tense British supernatural crime thriller about power, justice and the dangerous temptation of being able to act without consequence.

Justice in the Dark
Stealing from criminals should be easy when no one can see you. Rescuing their hostage is another matter.
Five months after the events of The Unseen, Warren Hale is trying to live an ordinary life in Windyates. Factory shifts. Keeping his head down. Hiding the fact that he can become completely invisible.
Then he discovers that a Bristol criminal gang has a fortune within his reach. He could take their money and use it to help people who desperately need it. No witnesses. No one to identify him. The perfect crime.
Until he overhears something he cannot ignore.
Helena Vane has been kidnapped. Her mother is a respected judge, and Helena’s captors have a demand: corrupt the trial of a powerful crime boss.
Warren may be the only person who can reach Helena unseen. But first he has to find her—and every step draws him deeper into the criminal world he thought he could outwit.
He set out to steal their money. Now a woman’s life depends on him.
He can disappear. The danger cannot.
Justice in the Dark is a British supernatural crime thriller and the second novel in The Unseen series. It can be enjoyed as a standalone—no knowledge of the first book is needed.

For one enchanted night, nothing exists beyond the two of them. But time moves differently inside the fairy circle, and dawn will take Jenny back to the human world. Rowan cannot follow.
All she carries home is a crown of daisies that never withers, the memory of his touch, and a warning:
The circle never appears twice for the same life.
As the years pass, Jenny tries to make a life beyond Blackthorn Wood. Yet the daisies remain fresh, and the love she found beneath the lanterns refuses to fade.
How much of her life will she spend longing for a man she may never see again?

Then she overhears Callum’s Christmas Eve prayer.
He isn’t asking for toys. He wants his daddy back. There is something he still needs to tell him.
Jennifer would give anything to answer that wish. Instead, she goes to bed dreading the disappointment morning will bring.
But sometime after midnight, a familiar sound stirs the quiet house…
The Christmas He Came Home is a poignant, magical short story about a father’s promise, a child’s unfinished goodbye and the love that makes a house a home.
