Delighted today to be able to share some great news from a lovely author called
Joanne Phillips (author of Can't Live Without -
my review can be found here) - the fact that she is VERY proud daughter.
Joanne's mum is called Anne Renshaw and she's written a book called A Grave Inheritance which is launched in Kindle edition this week and due to be brought out in paperback version in the new year.
Jo says she's a little biased, but says that it really is a good read.
Anne is learning all about using social media and about the whole marketing side of launching a book so I thought I'd help her out a little by sharing links to this great book which I'm really looking forward to reading and reviewing very soon.
Here's a bit of blurb about the book:
Grace and Amelia looked at the gravestone propped up against a tree, its
surface tinged green with age and moss. Grace had already scraped away
accumulated dirt and grime to reveal a crudely chiselled out initial, name and
date. With a sinking feeling in her stomach, Amelia read the inscription.
When their parents died, Amelia and Grace Farrell believed they had no other
family. Then out of the blue a letter arrives informing them they have inherited
a cottage from their paternal grandfather. Amelia and Grace move into the
cottage and make Woodbury their home, but when Grace finds a headstone in the
garden, they are plunged straight into an age-old mystery.
Infatuated with
the handsome vicar, Amelia looks to him for help, and Grace wants to know if he
has any gravestones missing. But it is an elderly aunt, and an old diary which
hold the answers to secrets long buried. Grace decides to look into their past
for the truth, but someone is determined to stop her.
Unknowingly, Grace puts
both their lives in danger and they realise they must face the consequences so
that the dead can be laid to rest at last.
1911-1928:
When the wrong
twin, Laurence Deverell, is brutally murdered, John Farrell does his best to
cover up the crime, trying only to protect his wife and daughter. Seventeen
years later when history is about to repeat itself, the murderer strikes again,
and this time, they make no mistakes.
If you have now decided that you would like to read it for yourself, you can download your copy via these links:
Anne Renshaw was born just as the Second World War ended, the youngest of five sisters. Her mother, Sophia, instilled in all her daughters the love of reading. Anne in particular was captivated by historical dramas and mysteries.
Anne began by writing short stories for her two young daughters in the 1980s. After she retired, her love of creative writing returned with a passion, and so began her first novel, A GRAVE INHERITANCE. She is married and lives in the Oswestry area of Shropshire with her husband.
