Patchwork People, Book 2
Summary
The dead can still talk - as Lawrence Juste is about to find out - and what they have to say is deadly. A tense psychological thriller for fans of Gone Girl and The Girl with No Past. He thought he'd eluded the nemesis from his past - even made some kind of atonement for abandoning his family by defending his sister's child against a murder charge. His black had become a mere dirty grey, with the possibility of being bleached enough to still make High Court Judge if he'd played his cards right, hadn't it? Someone obviously doesn't agree. Someone who persists in taunting him with notes and lies that lead nowhere but to more lies. Someone who clearly wants him to dig even further into his buried past in order to clear his name. Someone who might have already murdered once, and is ready to murder again. But they're already dead. For Lawrence, the twisted saga of deceit, intrigue, and conspiracy continues as his family expands and the real truth behind his past begins to surface in this, the second book in the Patchwork People trilogy.

Chameleon Sunset: A Comedy Play
Summary
Chameleon Sunset is a period comedy stage play, set in a Sussex manor house and a London art gallery in 1934. It is the Annual Public Open Day at Donnington Hall, Sussex. Advanced in years, adventuress Leonora Bradshaw has just returned from her latest expedition in South America to help her sister Isobel, Lady Donnington, to run the Donnington estate. The sisters are both recently widowed. Isobel is finding estate management a heavy burden, due in part to the lassitude of her son, Dorian, a would-be modern artist of the Mondrian school. At the beginning of the play, we join confidence trickster to the gentry, Percy Burrows, and his daughter, Florence, as they break away from the public tour of the manor. Although set in the 1930s world of modern art, this play deals with topics that are equally relevant to today's Britain. Chameleon Sunset satirises issues of heredity versus environment, class distinctions, ethics and morals. It explores the nature of becoming an adult, and what it means to be a mother. All done with gentle humour. Think Downton Abbey but with way more laughs!

The Unrest Cure
Summary
When a young brother and sister decide to effect an Unrest Cure on the prematurely middle-aged proprietors of a country hotel, success seems assured. Until, that is, the arrival of an unexpected guest.... Originating from a story idea by Saki, and further inspired by various archetypes from the novels of PG Wodehouse, the plot is embellished, extended, and moved to 1932 and a small Dorset village. The dialogue is very much of the period, faithfully recreating the cadence, slang, and expressions of the time. This play was the first produced by Plum Roll Productions and received fantastic reviews, leading to full houses and breaking box office records for the lovely Pentameters theatre in North West London.

Patchwork Pieces
Summary
For a British barrister to forsake the law, the reason must be serious. For him to step all the way outside of it, the reason must be deadly. Lawrence Juste is a very different man to the one everyone thought he was. He's a very different man to the one he thought he was too. But then, when you've just found out your whole world has been built around everyone else's deceit and your lies are fairy tales by comparison, why should anyone be as they appear to be? Why should anything end how it appears to end? Especially if there's revenge involved and you're a man on the edge of oblivion. Vigilante justice, murder, or just rewards? You choose.

Espionage!
Summary
Espionage! is a period comedy stage play set in London and Porthmadog in 1938. A committee of military personnel with checkered histories has been mysteriously assembled by the British Secret Intelligence Service, ostensibly to flush out a mole suspected of sharing secrets with the Nazis. The action switches between this intriguing plot and the real-life story of the playwright who is writing this stage play, detailing his battles with the show's producer and investor as they race to meet a deadline for rehearsals and opening night. The characters in the play-within-a-play portray aspects of the characters in the over-arcing story line relating to the playwright and his employers, and are also used to verbalize the thoughts of the writer. This is a truly unique construct, making this a quite remarkable play.
