Scoop! Description: Obit writer Vicky Hill suspects foul play when she learns of a suspicious death: a champion hedge cutter, electrocuted after accidentally slicing through a power cable. Yeah, right. To get the real story Vicky’s willing to suffer through bad dates and mortal danger. The book is available now, and will be released in Kindle version as well. Check out the many new features on the site surrounding the release of "Scoop!", including a look at the new characters, the setting, and of course what you've been waiting for: a preview of chapter 1! Hannah's Twitter Feed Welcome Welcome to my website and the world of Vicky Hill and Gipping-on-Plym. My very first job--after a disastrous five-day stint in the Royal Navy-was working for a small weekly newspaper in a remote corner of England. At age twenty and with a thirst for adventure, it turned out to be the most boring job I have ever had. Since computers weren't even invented at the time, I couldn't surf the net on the pretext of doing research, but the absence of cell phones was extremely useful. I could vanish for hours, roaming the countryside on the quest for a front-page scoop. Needless to say, I never found one. Little was I to know that many years later these experiences would become the basis for the Vicky Hill mysteries. At this point, I must stress that apart from daily funerals, the potency of "scrumpy," and the breathtaking beauty of the Devonshire countryside, the world of Gipping-on-Plym and its colorful characters are pure fiction. I am pleased to announce that SCOOP!, the second book in the Vicky Hill mystery series, is now available in bookstores and online. I've just learned that the third Vicky Hill installment will be published at the end of this year and hope to get a definite date soon. I hope you enjoy Vicky's adventures. A Vicky Hill Exclusive!  Aspiring investigative journalist Vicky Hill faces two challenges. The first is to escape the stultifying boredom of funeral reporting for the Gipping Gazette by making a career-enhancing front-page splash. The second is to lose her virginity-a heavy burden for a woman of twenty-three.Vicky's chance for a scoop comes with the discovery of three grisly chicken corpses, which are bizarrely connected to the unusual death of elderly Sir Hugh, the local hedge-jumping enthusiast. As Vicky delves deeper into village affairs, she is thrilled to find the sleepy English market town harbors more than its fair share of secrets. Yet Vicky has a secret of her own. As only daughter of The Fog-a notorious criminal, currently on the run in Spain-enlisting the help of the police is never an option. If that wasn't enough, rival reporter, the voluptuous Annabel Lake, thinks nothing of using sexual wiles to gain vital information and thwarts Vicky's efforts at every turn. With hooded figures meeting at midnight, a stash of stolen silver and a rising body count, Vicky discovers she has opened Gipping's Pandora's box. Casting safety aside and with only her pluck, wit and determination to fall back on, Vicky must decide just how far she is prepared to go to clinch the story of a lifetime.  |
