Abby Davies writes
psychological thrillers with a hint horror. Her first two novels, Mother
Loves Me and The Cult were published by
HarperCollins. Last year she self-published for the first time, and her seventh
suspense thriller, The Wrong Island, is hot off the press! Abby is known
for writing vivid, emotionally intense scenes that scare the crap out of you!
Susan Grossey can
honestly say that she made her living from crime. She spent decades as an
anti-money laundering consultant, giving her an obsession with criminal
finance. When she wanted to try fiction, dodgy money kept elbowing its
way in. For seven books she haunted the streets of 1820s London in the
company of magistrates’ constable Sam Plank and she now wander her hometown of
Cambridge in the same decade with university constable Gregory Hardiman.

Sherry Hostler
is the author of the contemporary psychological thrillers Hypnotic
and Free Fall. She also writes short stories, flash fiction and
carries out freelance work for magazines. She has written since childhood but
took her parents’ advice and got a ‘sensible’ job instead of pursuing her
literary passions. She finally took the plunge, writing her first
novel in 2020, and was glad she did as a month later it hit No. 2 in the Amazon
Suspense Thrillers List.

S.J. Richards writes a
crime thriller series based in and around Bath in Somerset. His main
protagonist, Luke Sackville, is an ex-DCI now working in the private sector,
and the series mixes humour in with the murder and mayhem. There are four books
out so far with the 5th due to be published in August 2024.

nominated for numerous awards. Her latest book concerns police corruption and
exploitation of the homeless: The Girl In The Dark, Bookouture,
