Rebecca grew up in mid-Wales and went on to gain a first class honours degree in English literature. After a successful business career in London, Dublin and Scotland, she returned to rural mid-Wales where she now lives with her husband, a prolific artist, four vampiric cats and pet sheep the size of sofas.
Sarah is an ecologist specialising in botany and has a keen human-wildlife coexistence, conservation, climate change and microplastics pollution. Her job has taken her all around the UK, and provides plenty of inspiration for her wiring. Before completing a Masters in Conservation Ecology at Oxford Brookes University, Sarah studied Psychology and Criminology at Cardiff University.

| Congratulations to Jean Levy who, last week, saw the publication of her new psychological thriller, Other Women. Sophie thought she and Jonah were happy, bringing up their small daughter together, until one summer's day, she discovers that Jonah is far from the man she thought he was. Sam - an attractive English teacher - seems to offer her some comfort, and new friendships are a support. But is Sam really who he says he is? Where have her new friends appeared from? Is anyone telling the truth? As Jonah's lies threaten Sophie and her daughter, can anyone be trusted? |  |
Also published last week was L. C. Tyler's new John Grey mystery, Death of a Shipbuilder. This is the sixth in the series, and true to form, it is fabulously gritty and a fantastic addition to the series.
It has already picked up a brilliant review from Classic Mystery blog:
"What is ultimately chilling about the whole thing though is that while nothing in the plot is so odd that it couldn’t have happened, as per the author’s afterword, almost all of it actually did. Len has used these events to produce another outstanding historical tale. This series of historical crime tales is definitely one that should be on your must-read list."
