Introducing... One Tuesday, Early

I am so excited that my third novel - and eighth book in total - is almost here!

It started as a short story, based (very loosely) on actual events - but that's a tale for another day. The heatwaves and lockdowns of 2020 gave me a fresh perception of how quiet and oppressive an empty street could be - something I'm not sure I'd have been able to replicate without experiencing it first hand.

One Tuesday, Early is due out 14 May 2024 from Vine Leaves Press.

​You’re on your own and you shouldn’t be. Your partner is missing. The streets are empty. Even the birds have disappeared. What do you do?

It’s 6:05am one Tuesday morning, and Lexi Peters is alone. Her partner, her friends, her neighbours have all vanished without a trace. The entire town is deserted. Gathering every ounce of courage, she sets out to explore the streets, seeking any sign of life. Her only companions are a coy black cat and a lurking fog that seems to follow her every step.

On the same morning, her partner Finn awakens to an empty house. Recalling the blazing argument they had the night before, he assumes Lexi has snuck off somewhere to cool down. But she doesn’t return.

Time passes. Or not. Lexi is stranded on that Tuesday morning, while Finn hurtles through the years at increasing speed.

Can Lexi and Finn be reunited, or is it already too late?
