Stay Safe

Hello again,

I do hope you are all staying safe during this dreadful time. We haven't been away from the house for several weeks now.

In an effort to keep busy, I had thought that I might get a few cupboards cleared out, but you know how it goes... I'll do it tomorrow....

However, I did get down on all fours to sort out a cupboard under the bench in the kitchen a few days ago. The problem was... don't laugh... I couldn't get up again. At one point I rested my hands on the top shelf, hoping that would help, but instead the shelf lifted at the back and the things I had neatly stacked on there fell over me. Can you believe it??

Anyway, I can't do the next cupboard for the time being, as I seem to have strained my hip - there is a pain going down my leg. So, I'll hang on for a few days until it clears up. Perhaps by then I'll have gone off the boil about clearing the cupboards and find something else that needs doing - something where I don't have to get down on my hands and knees 😂

In the meantime, I am still working on my latest novel - A Mystery on Tyneside. The problem is, I have added so many mysteries to the plot, I'm not sure how to answer them all. But I'm sure I'll get there in the end. Or maybe Agnes will do that for me. I must admit, she does tend to butt in when I'm stuck for an idea. But then, she is the main character, so I have to listen to her when she starts ranting somewhere at the back of my mind. It's strange, but all my characters do that. They seem to come up with the odd idea when I'm stuck. But Agnes never seems to go away.

I still have a few free codes for audio versions of four of my novels: Murder on Tyneside, Death on Tyneside, both are cozy murder mysteries. Divorcees .Biz, and Only Twelve Days, they are romance novels.
If you would like a code for UK or US, then please message me on Facebook - Eileen Thornton

I also have some codes for The Trojan Project, an action adventure thriller, but I don't know where my computer has put them. 😞

I think that's all for the moment. In the meantime, stay home and stay safe,

Cheers!

Chink! Chink!

Death on Tyneside

Agnes Lockwood returns to Tyneside after spending a few months abroad. On her first visit, she gained quite the reputation as an amateur sleuth, as she helped the police solve a murder.

Now, she is simply looking forward to meeting again with Alan Johnson, a DCI with the Newcastle police force. Having missed him while she was away, she is hoping their relationship will continue to blossom.

But on her first day back in the city, she gets caught up in another murder. This time, her intrusion into the police investigation pushes Alan Johnson’s patience to the very limit.

Murder on Tyneside

Recently widowed Agnes Lockwood is spending a few days on Tyneside in Northeast England, keen on catching up with her past. But after only a few days at the hotel, an expensive item of jewelry is stolen.

After more jewelry goes missing, Chief Inspector Alan Johnson is assigned to the case. During the investigation, Alan recognizes Agnes as a friend from schooldays and they rekindle their friendship – with Agnes bombarding him with questions about the case.

After having dinner together one evening, they find a body lying on the roadside. Fearing for her safety, Alan warns Agnes to stay away from the case: theft is one thing, but murder is something else.

But being an inquisitive woman, Agnes can’t resist getting involved... too involved.

Only Twelve Days

This heartwarming story is set in a time when computers and mobile phones were still in their infancy.

It's almost Christmas, one of the most wonderful times of the year. Nearly everyone is eagerly looking forward to spending the festive season with their loved ones. But what about those who are facing Christmas alone?

Bill and Sally are two such people. Both are shy and lonely; left behind when the rest of the country was caught up in the changes of the swinging sixties. Will they avoid the holiday season as they usually do, and spend it alone? Or this year, just for a change, will Christmas catch up with them?

Though this story is set during the run up to Christmas, it is a tender love story to be enjoyed at any time of the year.

The Trojan Project

Sarah and her family's peaceful night is disturbed when a strange light rises from behind the Cheviot Hills, and a green mist descends across the valley. Its swirling tendrils, seeming to bear a life of their own as they snake across the land, can only be an omen of something sinister and evil.

Her fears seem confirmed when her husband fails to return home from working on the land, and when he is still missing the following morning, she and her children set out to search for him. A terrifying discovery awaits her in the valley below her home and before long, Sarah and her children find themselves caught up in a desperate search, not only for her husband Pete, but also for the meaning of the green light. Finding herself pursued by the military, she slowly begins to realize her life, and the lives of those she loves, are in mortal danger.

The Trojan Project takes us into a nightmare world where no one is quite what they seem, and trust becomes a word with little meaning. Beware the green light in the sky; you never know what it hides!
