Book cover for Single Mind, a novella in the Psiclone series, almost a prequel to A Mind To Kill. In image of a rooftop service gantry and ventilation stacks, cyan psi shockwave concentric rings in cloud bank, minimal city hints, tense and cinematic action-thriller book cover.

A drug that grants telepathy hits the black market.

 

MI5 sends the one man who can’t be exposed.

 

A drug that grants telepathy has fallen into the wrong hands—and MI5 agent Michael Sanders is the only one who can stop it.

Sent to recover the deadly formula from a ruthless Birmingham crime boss, Michael must infiltrate the brutal underworld while keeping his own telepathic abilities hidden. But with a hostile MI5 team, a fortified criminal empire, and the cunning kingpin Nancy Pearlman standing in his way, every move is a risk.

As his cover frays and his powers push him to the limit, Michael’s mission spirals into a deadly game of deception and survival.

For fans of Jason Bourne and The Gray Man, this high-stakes espionage thriller will keep you hooked.

I write and tell stories. That’s the bare bones of it. This is my website (clearly).

Some authors write in a clearly-defined genre, a nice neat way of categorising every story they write. I don’t, which makes it a challenge to describe the kind of story I do write, but let’s have a go:

My novels follow people who find themselves drawn into events they only half understand—specialists, analysts, soldiers—individuals trained to maintain control, confronted with situations where control is no longer entirely possible. Some of these stories lean into the speculative: telepathic connections, emerging technologies, systems behaving beyond their design. Others stay closer to the surface, though not always as close as they first appear. Some wander into the fanciful.

Like the rooms in a haunted house, the pages you’ll find here offer some of the things you’d expect, maybe some things you want, and possibly surprises along the way.

Dive into The Psiclone Series for a telepathic twist on covert missions, or join Grace Palmer as she unravels conspiracies with grit, tech, and a touch of danger.

You like a good thriller. You enjoy the unexpected. You’re here, which means you don’t mind wandering off the beaten track and exploring somewhere a little different.
