Ring of Lies by
Daniel Elliot dies in a single-car accident one rainy English night. His wife, Grace, is grief stricken. Although their marriage was imperfect, sheltered Grace doesn’t relish the future alone.
She soon learns how little she knew about Daniel. There are secrets: an alias, a strange list of numbers, a house in Florida – and a mistress who’s a dead ringer for Grace.
Terrified but determined, she flies to Florida. Underworld figures stalk her…and so does the other woman. To her surprise, handsome FBI man Jack West takes the case. Grace has a past with the troubled agent. Despite her efforts, she finds herself falling for him all over again.
With danger around every curve, Grace and Jack navigate the criminal world of south Florida to find the truth behind the Ring of Lies.
PLEASE NOTE: Ring of Lies is written in British English, using standard British spelling and grammar.

I believe everyone is here for a reason. They are here for a purpose. I believe that life is a gift to be enjoyed not endured. We are here to thrive not merely survive.
I grew up in Australia and have lived in most states and territories. I’ve never left Australia though and I guess to compensate I chose to travel in my imagination (too corny?). The place and time I remember the most was living in the middle of nowhere (SA) and I’ll never forget how loud true silence could be! It was out on the cattle ranch that I really appreciated the velvety night skies. Those memories, and my love of all things science fiction, has led me to want to write my own stories within the confines of that genre. On a personal note, Selina was a name my mum gave me after listening to ‘Me and Bobby McGee’. It’s spelt differently though, in the song, it’s a place “Salinas”. I hope my joy in writing translates to my stories.
