Broke
"What would you do to protect your own?
Amy only wants a happy family - instead, she's in a nightmare of pain.
Her marriage to Mark isn't the best - he can't hold down a job, he's got a bit of a temper. But she doesn't want to know just how bad things are until his gambling habit brings Lenny Yates to her door. He makes it brutally clear how she can pay off Mark's debts.
But Amy's troubles are only beginning. Now there's another woman in Mark's life, who wants Mark for herself. She is ready to steal Amy's man, her self-respect and even her children.
As the stakes rise, Amy will either lose everything, or she'll have to learn how to stand up to her enemies . . ."

The Magic of DEBEN MARKET
"It's rare to find a short story collection of such power as this: adjectives such as 'haunting', 'poignant', 'vivid' and 'rich' come to mind, but these are clichés which fail to capture the enigmatic and dynamic magic locked inside this book.
Bowmore weaves a complex tale of interwoven characters around the imaginary coastal town of Deben Market on Britain's east coast, but he does this with such skill that you'll immediately find yourself wanting to read these stories again and again.
In effect, the book is a kind of quasi-novel, layered, soul-stirring, utterly gripping - at times, wistful, at times comic, and at other times breathtakingly suspenseful and supremely thrilling. Do yourself a favour: come to Deben Market. The magic may never leave you."

The Doll Maker
"Life is messy for Detective Sophie Whitton, but one thing she is clear about, is the pursuit of justice - and when another body is found that she knows to be the victim of The Doll Maker, her determination to hunt him down leads her on a journey that is as much about finding herself as it is about finding him. With a plot that twists and turns and an enigmatic lead in Sophie Whitton, The Doll Maker by Claire Highton-Stevenson has a compelling narrative, a killer thriller with a subtext that explores the challenges of life and love with heart and intelligence."
