Book description

Thirtynothing
          Delilah could have let him down, been a disappointment after all these years. She could have been fat, or old-looking, or happily married with loads of children. She could’ve been rude or stand-offish. But she wasn’t – she was better looking than he remembered, she was obviously unhappily married, had no children and was actually much nicer than she’d ever been when they were together.
          Have you ever wondered what happened to your first love? Imagine bumping into your first love twelve years after you last saw her. Imagine that she’s even more beautiful than she was when she was eighteen and that you ask her out for dinner and she says yes. This is what happens to Dig Ryan on the day of his thirtieth birthday. 
          Now imagine that you’re Nadine, Dig’s best friend for the last fifteen years. Imagine that Delilah was your nemesis at school and that even after twelve years, you can’t bear to be around her. You might find yourself feeling unexpectedly jealous and you might do something really childish like phoning your first love and asking him out, just to get your own back. 
          This is a story about ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends and what happens when you start messing with the past. It’s also a story about best friends and growing up and how sometimes what you’re looking for isn’t in the past or in the future, but right under your nose. 

Kiss and Tell
          Jo is an actress on the country’s most popular soap, Westfield. It’s a far cry from her West End ambitions, but as a single mother to two young daughters she needs a steady income.
          Then the ratings start to drop, and the infamous producer Richard Black, known as the Grim Reaper for his habit of killing characters off, is brought in to reverse Westfield’s fortunes. No one is happy about it, and when Jo fails to create quite the impression she had hoped for, she’s sure her days on the show are numbered… 

Whispers in the Sand
          Recently divorced, Anna Coburn decides to cheer herself up by retracing a journey her great-grandmother, Louisa, a renowned artist, made in the mid-nineteenth century – a Nile cruise from Luxor to the Valley of the Kings. Anna carries with her two of Louisa’s possessions – an ancient Egyptian scent bottle, and an illustrated diary of the original cruise that has lain unread for a hundred years.
          As she follows in Louisa’s footsteps, Anna discovers in the diary a wonderful love story from the Victorian past, and the chilling, more distant secret of the little glass bottle. Meanwhile, two men from the tour party are showing a disturbing interest in these mementos, and developing an unfriendly rivalry for Anna’s attention. And, most frightening of all, Anna finds herself the victim of a haunting, a spectral presence that grows in strength and threat as the dramatic stories from three different eras intertwine in a terrifying climax… ranging from the creepily haunting to the flowery-romantic and then on to the unexpected!
