"Audrey dreams of a life of adventure, even as she plans for a future as a homemaker. But when an unexpected opportunity promises a world of new experiences, will Audrey grab it with both hands – or stick to the path she's always been on…? England, 1947: In the rubble-filled streets of post-war London, nineteen-year-old Audrey is devastated to lose her job when the men return from war. But her mum needs her more than ever since she was injured in the bombings, and her beloved fiancé Martin wants her to focus on building their life together, so her future seems set. Yet Audrey can't help but wonder if there's more to life than keeping a home and raising a family. And when she hears about a chance to train as one of England's first airline stewardesses, her heart leaps. The problem is, Martin doesn't want his wife working, and the airline itself insists that no married women need apply… But there's still a year until the wedding and Audrey's mum insists she must seize the opportunity of a lifetime. And while hiding her engagement from her new bosses and the women training alongside her feels shameful, it's nothing compared to the joy and pride she feels in the skies. So when Martin insists they bring the wedding forward, her heart cracks at the idea of giving up her new life to be firmly grounded in London. She has a choice to make. Abandon her dreams and accept the future she always thought would be hers – or make a decision that will change her life forever…?"

The Murder Awards

"May 1939. When Amy Rowlings and Inspector Bodkin are invited to a black-tie civic awards ceremony at the Town Hall, they expect to be met with the usual boring speeches and toe-curling sycophancy, but when the recipient of the night's 'Businessman Of The Year Award', Nelson Kelly, is found stabbed to death after being called from the stage to answer the telephone, the evening begins to liven up. Nelson's company has just won a lucrative contract to build a new armaments factory and many of the town's elite, having backed a rival bidder, aren't happy at missing out. When the CID department at the local police station is suddenly reduced in manpower, Bodkin is told he will have to manage the murder investigation alone. Into the breach steps young Amy Rowlings, the 21-year-old with a mind every bit as sharp as her fictional hero, Hercule Poirot. Amy, an avid crime fiction reader, movie buff and collector of American records, brings her insight and intelligence to the aid of the overstretched inspector as he attempts to find a way through the morass of lies, deception and corruption. Once again, Amy must utilise all the investigative techniques she has learned from Agatha Christie's famous detective to help bring a brutal killer to justice."
