Shilling & Florin
Book One: The Jack of Hearts Murders
A serial killer is stalking the streets of Victorian London and no one is safe…
Charles Shilling, empathetic genius and amateur sleuth, has no love for the aristocratic system and it doesn’t much love him. A scruffy and rebellious anarchist, he keeps out of trouble with the law by solving more crimes than he commits. But this latest case is the worst he’s ever faced. Shilling is at a loss and, if he wants to save lives, he needs help.
Amelia Florin, brilliant medical student and noblewoman, is desperate to stop the killer. Every new victim makes her feel like she’s the one being hunted, and Shilling is the only person who values her insight. Endearingly roguish, she is certain she can overlook his social standing to work with him. Unless the disapproval of her elitist fiancé lands them both in the killer’s sights first…
Can they stop the murderer before it’s too late, or will they be the next victims?
The Jack of Hearts Murders is the first book in the slow burn series of Shilling & Florin Mysteries. Set in an alternate and progressive universe, Shilling & Florin are on the case in a diverse and unique portrayal of London. Explore the world and crack the case in The Jack of Hearts Murders…

The Vincent Temple Trilogy
Prequel: Path of Dreaming Souls
If living was a choice… what would make you choose to stay?
Doctor Vincent Temple is returning home from the Western Front. After years of trench warfare, necromancers, and dead men, he’s seen enough of Hell to last eternity. He’s barely off the boat before the latest order arrives from the Brotherhood. There’s no rest for the wicked, and there’s no point asking. He’ll rest when the forces of darkness do.
Besides, every step forward only serves to remind him that somewhere in Europe is a bullet with his name on it, and he never really dodged it. What happened back there…
That’s not something you survive.
But his new assignment isn’t like the others. Even if the Brotherhood are still trying to send him to his death, they didn’t count on this. Neither did Vincent, and what he finds is about to change the course of his life forever…
Path of Dreaming Souls is a prequel to the Vincent Temple Trilogy and explores the origins of the good doctor, his Order of Hunters, and the beginnings of a lifelong bond.
