"A laugh-out-loud tale of love, life lessons, and an odd little man named Mungo Thunk.
Bathroom scales were not an appropriate gift for his fiancée’s birthday … apparently.
Ever since he ate seven pickled gherkins for lunch at school, and subsequently shat himself during a maths lesson, Adam Maxwell has been cursed by a lack of common sense.
Now in his early thirties, that lack of common sense is about to throw Adam’s life into turmoil after one particularly ill-judged decision backfires … with disastrous consequences.
As Adam begins a rapid descent towards rock bottom, a strange little man by the name of Mungo Thunk enters his life. However, not everything about Mungo Thunk is as it first seems. After insisting Adam can rediscover his common sense by agreeing to an unorthodox brand of therapy, the two set about dealing with a raft of challenges.
Can Adam trust the mysterious stranger to fix his thinking and get his life back on track? Or, will he come to rue the day he invited Mungo Thunk into his life?"

David Nunn considers himself a good man. Employed as a counsellor for a mental health charity in North London, his typical day revolves around broken minds and dysfunctional lives.
Then, one day in January, a young man staggers into the charity's office; no appointment booked and seemingly in the grip of a drug-induced episode. David reluctantly agrees to see the young man.
It proves a brief but fateful encounter.
Within days of that meeting, two men gatecrash David's life; their motives wildly different but each making a demand. What they both have in common is their propensity for violence and deep-rooted psychological issues.
As his world descends into turmoil, David must decide if one of those men can save him from the other. Perhaps more importantly, can he save a self-confessed headcase from himself?"

Just four months after Emma Hogan was born, her father was convicted of a heinous crime and sent to prison for life.
Forty-six years later, and now a London-based journalist, Emma inadvertently discovers an old notebook she suspects might be connected to the father she never knew. Embossed on the front of that notebook is a single word — Clawthorn.
Unbeknown to Emma, the innocent-looking notebook is anything but, and it takes a stranger with an uncanny knowledge of the past to warn her of that fact — an intriguing stranger by the name of Clement.
With neither the notebook nor Clement being quite what they seem, Emma is compelled to dig for answers. However, one elusive individual will stop at nothing to protect the notebook's secrets — its mysterious author.
As the past clashes with the present, Emma soon realises there is far more at stake than just a career-changing story. As for Clement; destiny may have brought them together but a seemingly higher power will decide their fate as they attempt to expose the truth about Clawthorn."

"Beth Baxter always dreamt of being an author. Unfortunately, fate has a twisted sense of humour so rather than writing books, she now sells them in a second-hand bookshop. With middle-age approaching and her life unfulfilled, Beth is at least grateful her forthcoming marriage to Karl is worthy of hope — or, so she thought.
When her fiancE's sordid past catches up with him, Beth finds herself embroiled in a sinister game of hide and seek. As her life is torn apart and all appears lost, Beth is thrown an unlikely lifeline when a former gangland fixer called Clement crashes into her life, offering to help.
Unfortunately for Beth, there is one minor complication with her saviour — Clement claims he died in 1975 and must help Beth as penance for sins committed in his previous life.
With just seven days to avoid a fate she can't bear to contemplate, Beth chooses the lesser of two evils and reluctantly joins her deluded, politically incorrect companion on a quest across London in search of a solution.
Will this unlikely partnership succeed? Will Clement ever come to terms with paying five quid for a pint? And will Beth ever learn the truth about who sent Clement?"
