When a plane carrying rare whisky crashes near Wimplebrige, Claudilia’s quiet life is shattered. As desperate men and a vengeful businessman descend on the village, she and her friend Angus are caught in the crossfire. With her daring spirit and quick wit, Claudilia concocts a risky plan to save her home. But in this high-stakes game, one wrong move could be fatal.

Claudilia Belcher wants to keep her village the way it’s always been. But would she commit murder to halt the march of progress?
There’s an undercurrent of unrest in Wimplebridge village. The latest wife of a local businessman is throwing her weight around. New money is challenging established wealth and Claudilia’s determined to win at all costs.
As she struggles to restore the balance of power, with the Belcher family on top, Claudilia attracts the attention of the local police. The body count’s rising and she’s the common denominator, all that’s missing is any proof.
In The fisherman’s Tale, we meet Gary Wood, a poacher, who had a small but important role in the longer story, The Village Fate. We discover a little about his life and what brought him to the river Wimple, on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
Claudilia Belcher, the principal character in The Village Fate, is also here. She’s someone who plays a significant role in the life of our young poacher.

What’s in a missing person’s report.
Maggie Macintosh is missing. But she’s over eighteen and there’s no reason to think that she’s at risk, so should the police be looking for her at all?
Has Maggie gone to ground, or is she in the ground? As the police reveal the details of her life, it becomes clear to Angus that his duplicitous wife was not the woman he thought she was.
Read the police report and see what you make of Maggie Macintosh.
I’ve been married to my long suffering wife for thirty two years. Without her support I’d never have published anything. Somehow we’ve managed to raise four children. I’d like to take the credit for that but in truth it’s her tireless work that’s made them such wonderful people.
