Monogamy Twist
What's it all about? I've been out blogging this week, at various places, to let people know what my first ancestral based mystery is about. Here's a gist of what's been said elsewhere.
When Luke Salieri inherits a dilapidated English estate from
a woman he's never heard of— with quirky conditions attached—it’s a mystery he
wants to see resolved immediately. But there’s a catch: he needs a woman to
meet his needs, though just how far will he have to go to persuade her?
The job of researching Greywood Hall and its fantastic contents is enticing, but can Rhia Ashton see herself living with gorgeous Luke Salieri for a whole year and then walk away? Rhia has her own ideas about what will make it worth her while.
But neither expect love to enter the game.

I’m very excited that on the 27th March 2015, Crooked Cat Publishing is re-launching
a new general reading edition of Monogamy Twist, a light-hearted
contemporary romantic mystery. The fabulous quirky new cover, designed by
Laurence Patterson of Crooked Cat, reveals a grand house at the centre of the
story which is a really excellent image since the plot is based around a
Dickensian theme. Luke Salieri finds he’s been bequeathed a dilapidated mansion
in Yorkshire…but he can only fully inherit
after some weird and antiquated stipulations are fulfilled! He’s never met his
benefactress; hasn’t even heard of her but Luke’s never one to back down from a
challenge. He needs expert help, though, to find out why Amelia Greywood chose
him and Rhia Ashton seems ideal. Rhia, a historian and family tree researcher,
seems perfect but it turns out that she has her own ideas of what will make Luke’s
strange request worthwhile. Compromise is the name of the game for Luke…and for
Rhia.
It’s probably no surprise that the plot for the novel came about
as a combination of my watching the current BBC TV Charles Dickens serial of late
2010 and while I was also doing the first forays in researching my own
ancestral background. I found a decided black sheep in one of my
great-grandfathers: Rhia finds a good few family surprises for Luke in Monogamy
Twist! Rhia and Luke were lovely characters to invent but some readers
have told me that they love Thor, the Irish wolfhound, even more!
I extend a warm welcome to your readers to join my Facebook
Launch Party for Monogamy Twist on the 27th
March 2015. Quirky goodies can be won. There’ll be music; food; lovely
locations in Yorkshire… Why not pop in and say
