In death, all Hardacres return to the Priory. Adjusting to this new reality meant writing the book I had done my best to avoid. I sat absorbed in the last line: Death is not an ending.

THE FINAL ACT OF MERCY DOVE has a stunning new design. To add to this gorgeously gothic cover, it also has a new interior design and blurb.

Mercy Dove is a woman haunted by her past and plagued by scandal. The affairs of Evesham Hall, Mercy’s infamous ancestral home, fill the broadsheets. But only society’s elite, the select few invited by her stepfather, truly know the depravity of the decaying manor.
Tired and eager for change, Mercy invites a new acquaintance to Evesham Hall, young Miss Violette. Her arrival provokes a shift within the walls, altering the status quo, and a much darker, more sinister shadow falls over the manor.
With childhood memories resurfacing and the ghosts of the past looming, Mercy must find the courage to confront her inner demons and conquer the darkness surrounding her. Can Mercy Dove emerge unscathed in her final act?
The scene is set, ready for a spine-tingling story to unfold, a Victorian gothic horror. Take a seat, the curtain is about to rise. Let us begin at the end.
THE FINAL ACT OF MERCY DOVE is now available across all major retailers in Ebook, and Paperback, including a NEW stunning Hardcover edition and atmospheric Audiobook.

The interior has also had a rework, and I couldn’t be happier; it truly captures the essence of the story.

Death is not an ending…
I faced the truth of my family history and my childhood trauma. But adjusting to this new reality meant writing the book I had done my best to avoid.
Once finished, I sat absorbed in the last line: Death is not an ending. This is certainly true with my ancestry. In death, all Hardacres return to the Priory. However, I awoke to a solitary existence.
Then Josie Scarfe arrived at the door, wanting answers. We were never friends as children, but now I cannot ignore our connection.
Returning the holy relic may have banished the evil, yet we have only just begun to unravel the ancient lore at the foundations of Hardacre Priory.
