Rachel McLean

My name's Rachel McLean and I write thrillers that make you think.

What does that mean?

In short, I want my stories to make your pulse race and your brain tick.

Do you often get through a thriller at breakneck pace but are left with little sense of what the book was really about? Do you sometimes read literary fiction but just wish something would damn well happen?

My books aim to fill that gap.

Easy enough for me to say, but here are some reviews from people who agree with me:

'a fast paced, character-driven novel which enthralls from the very first page': Sherry, goodreads review of Thicker Than Water.

'..every page I was right there fighting with the lead character trying to do the right thing. I loved it!!': Lindsay, goodreads review of A Hous

Yvonne Vincent

As a child, I loved reading. I spent my life with my nose in a book and, when finally forced back into the real world, I wrote poetry and stories. My hero was Pam Ayres and all I wanted to be when I grew up was a librarian, so that I could be around books all the time.

Of course, life takes you on different paths. Somehow, writing poems and stories got lost along the way. I was too busy partying in London through my twenties then being a mum through my thirties and forties. But on an August morning in 2018, at the tender age of forty-eight, I decided to create a blog on Facebook. Ten minutes later, Growing Old Disgracefully was born and the love of writing came flooding back. Encouraged by my lovely readers, I finally got off my lazy behind

T.M. Andred

I am an amateur writer and write for my own pleasure. I write about many different things in different names, but this name is for my work about female led domestic discipline. It tends to promote Female Led relationships and often has a romantic story at its heart. Some are explorations of what would be my ideal relationship.

I am in my mid 50s, and grew up through the British boarding school system, which has had some effect on my work and values. Some of the stories' incidents are based on real events and people.

There are more ebooks by me on Amazon under this name, which are not listed here yet. Others are here, but under previous pennames, they can be found by the written-by-me-under-previous-pennam‎ on my profile bookshelf.

J.R. Ellis

During a long career teaching English, I wrote plays for children and occasional ghost stories. I have always been fascinated by the paranormal and by mysteries, conspiracy theories and unexplained crimes.
My love of my native county is deep and the settings of my Yorkshire Murder Mysteries within Yorkshire's varied landscapes are important. I have made a study of the sub-genre of the Locked Room Mystery during the height of its popularity between 1930 - 1960 in the stories of writers such as John Dickson Carr, Clayton Rawson and Ellery Queen. I was an avid watcher of BBC's "Jonathan Creek" in its heyday. I believe the element of puzzle is essential to crime fiction and my novels contain a double mystery: the standard "who dunnit?" but also

I returned to creative writing in 2006 and since then, I have written short stories and poetry for competitions — and have had a few wins, several honourable mentions and some short-listing.

I cared for my father, who was living with mixed dementia, for a total of five years. I thought there was a gap in the market for an extremely short and cost effective guide highlighting essential processes for carers of people with dementia and when my father moved into a care home, I made it my goal to write such a book. It was a cathartic experience and I am pleased to have been able to help others navigate what can be the emotional and administrative minefield of caring for a loved one.

Dickie Bird

Harold Dennis "Dickie" Bird (19 April 1933 – 22 September 2025) was an English cricketer and international cricket umpire. During his long umpiring career, he became a well regarded figure among players and the viewing public, not only due to his high standards as an umpire but also for his many eccentricities.

Bird played first-class cricket for Yorkshire and Leicestershire as a right-handed batsman, but only scored two centuries in 93 appearances. His career was blighted by a knee injury, which eventually forced him to retire at the age of 31. He umpired in 66 Test matches (at the time a world record) and 69 One Day Internationals, including three World Cup Finals. Bird's autobiography, published in 1997, sold more than a million copies.
