Book 1: Lost Cause
Daisy Dunlop thinks
“heir hunting” is a perfect career. Too bad she has to work with her husband’s
best mate, Irish PI Solomon Liffey. They've barely spoken since he took her
husband Paul’s request to keep her safe far too literally and handcuffed her to
the kitchen sink.
Solomon has no
interest in babysitting a new partner, especially this one. The woman’s a
bleedin’ liability. She has no concept of danger and could flirt for England at
the next Olympics. As if that isn't bad enough, she has a habit of sticking her
nose where it’s not wanted, including into Solomon’s very private life.
Determined to keep
Daisy safely out of his way, Solomon sets her the task of finding a missing
lord. Her investigations land her in the middle of his case. Bullets fly, bombs
explode, and the body count rises. When Solomon goes missing, the tables are
turned. Now it’s his life that is in Daisy’s hands, and she has two missing men
to find before it’s too late.
Book 2: Lost & Found
Hot on the success
of her first case, Daisy Dunlop can count the offers of work on one finger. An
empty bank account and the need to prove to her business partner, PI Solomon
Liffey, that she is an asset not a liability, calls for drastic measures.
Terror has to be overcome as she answers a plea to find the one thing that
gives her night sweats and flashbacks. A dog. A missing stud poodle to be
exact.
Solomon’s amusement
at Daisy’s new case is short lived when the arrest of his former girlfriend,
Lisa, leaves him with the full-time care of his young daughter, Molly. A body
is discovered in Lisa’s bed. Now he needs to help find the murderer before
Molly’s safety is compromised.
When Daisy realizes
the dead man is linked to her current case, and the body count rises, Solomon
and Daisy are forced to work together to find the killer. Would the sexual
prowess of a poodle really incite someone to murder, or is the real motive
hidden somewhere in Solomon’s secret past?
Diminutive English
rose, JL Simpson, was stolen away by a giant nomad and replanted in a southern
land filled with gum trees and kangaroos. She quickly adapted to her new life,
learning the meaning of G’day and mate whilst steadfastly refusing all attempts
to convert her to Vegemite.
A hunger for
exploration awoken by her new surroundings, she traversed the land seeking
knowledge and adventure. Despite the trials and tribulations along the way she
stood fearless in the face of calamity and embarrassment. With a joyous laugh,
and a boundless supply of scones with cream and jam, she stood tall, all
fifty-eight inches of her, and shrugged off the humiliation of falling in a
freezer and reversing into her own mailbox.
Always ready to accept
a challenge she embraced the double headed beast of accounting and taxation and
wrestled the monster into submission, placating it with spreadsheets and double
entry bookkeeping.
Her desire to
experience the world led her to embrace a life of crime. Seeking the higher
knowledge shared by the great minds of the detective world, she took to
worshipping at the altars of the Crime and Investigation channel and Sherlock.
A dive into family
history and heir hunting soon followed, where she discovered not every family
has roots back to English nobility but they all have their fair share of
ne’er-do-wells.
She loves sharing tales
about the land of her birth along with the unexpected twists of fate that can
befall all of us. Holding on to a steadfast belief every obstacle can be
overcome ,and that you can be more than you ever expected, she spends her
moments of solitude creating adventures where mystery and mayhem collide.
