Mr Darcy’s Struggle by Martine Jane Roberts
About Mr Darcy’s Struggle by Martine Jane Roberts:
What if, after initially refusing Mr Darcy’s offer of marriage at the parsonage, Elizabeth finds herself in the position where she is forced to accept his proposal?
The proud Mr Darcy insists on a short engagement, and therefore has only six weeks to prove himself, and make Elizabeth fall in love with him.
Taking her reproofs to heart, he is determined to woo her and become a better man.
Then, only days before the wedding, she receives another proposal.
Will she meet Darcy at the altar, or run to the arms of another?
Set in the autumn rather than spring, Mr Darcy’s Struggle is a stand-alone variation on Pride & Prejudice, and therefore does not follow the original timeline.

Author Bio:
I was born in a small rural town in Hertfordshire, England. My ancestry has been traced back to the 3rd century AD in Nottingham, England. Prior to this we were Danish Vikings.
Until the early 20th century, we were landowners and farmers in Kent & Essex. With the modernisation of farming techniques, we sold up and moved nearer to the capital, finally settling in Tring.
My paternal grandparents, who inspired my love of the past, were bother teachers, specialising in English and History.
My paternal grandmother was also a descendant from the Scottish clan of Galbraith. We have our own tartan in the colours of black, green, blue and white squares.
My mother is descended from the single family of Standingford, (often spelt the Anglo-Saxon way of Stanton). There is only one family with this name and all, no matter how distant, are related. We have our own heraldic shield and family motto. Dum Spiro, While I Breathe.
I am the middle of 5 children, with an older sister, a twin brother and a younger sister and brother.
My hobbies include reading, writing, listening to classical music, walking the dog and jet skiing.
I read a variety of authors, including Oscar Wilde, Shakespeare, Noel Coward, and Jane Austen, while my favourite composer is Bach and Ivor Novello.
I am a full-time writer, but I also contribute articles to various magazines, charities, and private publications.
Before I decided to become a full-time writer, I worked for the British Government.
My husband and I have been married 40 years and we have two daughters, four grandchildren and one dog.
BEYOND VENGEANCE
BEYOND VENGEANCE by LARRY IGBON
Synopsis
This is a thriller set in the north of England, where fear begets crime and crime begets killing. The violent extinction of a ruthless crime family unleashes bloody vendetta against a city’s police force.
******
For too long the city of Manchester seethed in the grip of vicious criminal gangs, they propagated a subculture of barbarism equal to anything catalogued from the Middle Ages. The Greater Manchester Police set their sights on the most vicious of these gangs, led by the Brewster family.
The GMP assembled a task force of gangbusters whose leader DI Stuart Corcoran declared a ‘zero tolerance’ policy on Brewster’s Fairfield Mob.
On a rainy, sticky night in 1999, Corcoran led his team into battle. It transpired to be the last stand for the brutal Brewsters, trapped in the Fairfield Arches; in the shadow of Manchester’s Piccadilly Station, they met their bloody end.
The GMP success at the Arches greatly subdued the other gangs and the citizens of Manchester now felt safe. Corcoran and his colleagues, DS Peter Enright and DC Kevin Jennings were the ‘Heroes of the Arches’.
Eleven years passed and without warning DC Jennings and his pregnant wife were brutally murdered. Detectives found a bone-chilling note at the scene promising more deaths. The note made mention of ‘my entire family’ and the GMP worked on that; they decided the note was from a surviving Brewster. They had been told that the Brewsters were all dead shortly after the battle at the Arches.
A new task force headed by Corcoran’s protégé, DCI Beverley Holland must find the killer before the remaining ‘Heroes’ are killed.
In a dark, unsettling atmosphere of hatred and determination, bodies begin piling up. The killer seems to know everything the police know, impossible as that may seem.
Enright travelled to the birthplace of the Brewsters in Ireland and discovered something devastatingly crucial to the case.
A recurring phenomenon in the stygian gloom was the young man in the black suit who seemed to be haunting the city streets; an evil aura dripped from him like filthy water from a cracked sewer pipe.
Bev Holland and her team work tirelessly to solve the case and every time they score a breakthrough, another victim is murdered. The GMP team is determined not to lose this battle and they are prepared to go to any lengths.

Jagged Heart by Pamela Taeuffer
About Jagged Heart by Pamela Taeuffer
I am a woman who has come of age. I want to share my story of being raised in a family battling alcoholism and the effects on my life. This is my love story, the way I forgave my family, and the way I found intimacy. I had to take small risks, small baby steps toward change. Standing in the shadows for most of my life, I knew in order to break the generational chains of dysfunction I needed to do something different. Only being vulnerable . . . only learning to trust myself . . . only letting go of my fears–abandonment, everything good coming to an end, broken promises, never being good enough — could I find joy. And when I found it, it was amazing.

Author Bio:
I like to take intriguing and unusual ideas and spin them into stories with an edge. For me, most fascinating was the chance to explore some compelling human questions, not least: is there an unavoidable bet, a wager we all have to make about what lies beyond human life?
Imagine what it would be like to have all your life memories vanish, to barely remember your name. Frightening! But that’s what happens to Ronald in ‘The After Death Afterlife of Ronald Foster’. In a sense, he’s given a clean slate, yet he doesn’t see it that way. He lets himself be ruled by lust, anger and greed in a world in which normality has been turned on its head and stamped on.
Many people don’t believe in life after life – in any kind of afterlife, after death, or heaven and hell – but many do. Death and dying are often taboo subjects, yet what happens next is something that faces everyone. As I said, it was fascinating to explore some compelling human questions. ‘The After Death Afterlife of Ronald Foster’ offers an enthralling possibility. I wonder how I’d react to Ronald’s situation. I wonder how you would.
