Margaret Graham is left alone in a crumbling croft on a Westmoreland fellside after her father's accidental death. Through the sale of her father's flock, grazing land and sheer hard work she becomes a successful farmer near the market town of Nethershaw.
Then the first murder occurs on her property and involves all the people she has reason to be grateful to.
Margaret - now Meg - is contacted by her cousin Joe Graham, son of her father's estranged brother, regarding the purchase of her father's old croft.
The Grahams of 'Bythwaite Farm' are a wealthy but odd family, and Joe's mother Claire is the strangest of them all. Meg rescues her from incarceration imposed by her irascible husband. Then the second murder occurs.
Claire introduces Margaret to the 'Seven Sisters', a Neolithic stone circle with mysterious properties on the hills above her husband's farm.
What is the connection between the 'Seven Sisters' and the Graham, Elliot and Carrick families which leads to two murders and a suicide - or was it suicide or another murder? Find out in the story of 'Witch Stones'.

Catch a Falling Star
World-renowned music icon Gil Robson's life is left in ruins when his professional commitments collide with his family responsibilities. He has to choose between a beloved wife, Connie, and his children and music which is the blood in his veins, the air that he breathes. Just when he believes he is coming to terms with the whole mess, a child arrives who will shatter his whole existence and affect everyone who knows him.
"He was as usual down at the pool-house. He had yet to see her, so she observed him for a few seconds. The multitude of candles he’d lit softened his features and struck highlights from his guitar and his hair. The scent of rosewater filled the air - it was always there when he was deep in thought. She wondered why it relaxed him so.
He was such a beautiful man, with the gentlest blue eyes imaginable. He had always been the center of her existence, even though he was besotted by Connie".
The Twinkle in Pa's Eye
This is the story of a child who throughout her teen years awakens to the fact that every adult in her life is not who she thought they were. In addition she is being stalked by a variety of strangers who appear connected by a strange golden medallion. When she is eighteen years old she makes several momentous discoveries which lead her to find out who she really is.
Gil’s mouth fell open in shock. He was looking at his first wife when she was a teen. Right down to the midnight hair and stunning eyes. He sat down on a hall chair hard.
“Who are you?” he finally managed to gasp, stupefied.
What was the point of lying when the truth was so evident? I stood at the top of the stairs listening with increasing horror as Gil was hit square-on by his long-lost daughter and my deceit.
“I’m Anna Christina Heywood - Christie…..your daughter.”
The Mountain Monk and Shadow Rider
In the final volume of the 'Ultimate Link' Trilogy the pieces of Gil's life begin to fall into place thanks to the determination of a soul mate he found when he was on the point of giving up. Along the way he loses one wife and gains another, loses children and gains one, loses his soul and gains a universe.
"Once I began to sing, everything dropped into place. When I opened my eyes again, I found my head was tilted upwards and I was gazing at a heaven full of brilliant stars. There was deathly silence – you could have heard a pin drop.
Then it began. The whole stadium was on its feet, cheering and whistling. They were so close to me I could see tears glistening on cheeks and expressions so loving they made me gasp. I’d been doing this for thirty years and had never, never seen this before".
Mr. J. Barnes 5.0 out of 5 stars
What a pleasant surprise! Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 April 2023 As a younger reader I was not expecting to put this in my top reads - yet here I am happily saying that this book was a joy to read, and I was pleasantly surprised by the range of emotions it had me feelings. From smiling at those feel good moments, to shouting at the pages when things got tense, I couldn't recommend it more. The aesthetic of the 60's/70's and the glamourous rock band this book is based around, it really gives you an insight back stage, evoking sympathy and surprise from all the people I hope will read it. Minor spoilers up ahead (You have been warned), what is up with Deborah! FYI this is a character I screamed at the pages for. Grace...you have my heart, and Nancy, you two are really representing the mothers of this book, and I respect you for it, they are not an easy bunch! Now that you know my feelings on these characters, you can make your mind up on them yourself. There are so many more characters to fall in love with but these are my most passionate ones. If you are searching for a book to pick up and read...look not further! Thank you for this amazing read Lizzie Collins.

ADVENTURES OF AN
AMERICAN BEAUTY
Bridie O'Neill
and
Cathal's Ghost
Bridie O'Neill grew up in abject poverty in the back streets of Irish New York.
Her mother was a drinker fonder of the bottle in Prohibition than her own children. Her father was kind but unable to cope, especially when confronted by his wife.
When life becomes too much Rosie O'Neill packs her daughter off to Ireland to live with her brother who breeds horses in County Wicklow.
Uncle Conn and Aunt Siobhan couldn't be more different from her parents and take Bridie in as their own child, loving her as they do their own seven children who range from Daniel, aged nineteen - to Rosie, six.
Circumstances dictate that for her safety and that of the whole Cullen family Bridie must be sent back to New York and her cousin Daniel accompanies her. Whilst there, both are abducted by Cathal O'Neill, an Irish aristocrat and a chief of his clan, who lives with his sister Neave in a smart area of Bridie's New York. Cathal owes a debt of honor to Uncle Conn's neighbor and close friend Niall Valentine.
Here begins the convoluted story of the O'Neills, Cullens and Valentines and at its center stands the abhorrent Seamus O'Neill,.
