Mel Sherratt

I write crime, psychological suspense and fiction with a punch - or grit-lit, as I call it. My inspiration comes from authors such as Martina Cole, Lynda la Plante and Elizabeth Haynes. TAUNTING THE DEAD is part police procedural/part psychological thriller. It has been a standalone for two years but I have now written two more books with Detective Sergeant Allie Shenton as a main character and created a new series. FOLLOW THE LEADER will be out in February 2015 and ONLY THE BRAVE in May 2015. THE ESTATE SERIES are a mix of women's fiction, psychological suspense and a little dash of crime. They are too dark for women's fiction alone - although the subject matters and issues are often referred to in this genre - too light in places for crime thrillers, and often not enough for the psychological suspense readers out there. They are drama meets crime. There are three at the moment, available individually or as a box set, as well as SECRETS ON THE ESTATE - a prequel in the form of diary entries. Book 4, WRITTEN IN THE SCARS, will be published in 2015. WATCHING OVER YOU is a standalone psychological thriller. It's dark in places, light in places, disturbing in places too - where obsession and friendship turn into murder. I live in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England with my husband and terrier, Dexter (named after the TV serial killer) and makes liberal use of my hometown as a backdrop for some of my books.
