Summary: Uriel, the angelic muse, finally had a job - a soul to care for. After his brush with falling because of trying to kill the demon Botis, Uriel had spent three months in Head Office, being “reset”. Now he was on earth, determined that the charge under his care, famous but aging director Seth Turner, would have another hit on his hands. Uriel’s confidence was high, right up until Haures, ruler of the damned souls walked on to the set. Haures had one job – make sure that the soul that had been sold to Lucifer was ready for collection. He didn’t expect to see Uriel. He definitely didn’t expect for the pair of them to be playing tug-of-war over one soul when they were next on the mating list. Someone either had a weird sense of humor, or there was more at stake than the fate of Seth’s soul. Knowing they were meant to be mates was one thing. Acting on it was something else entirely. Uriel needed for Seth to succeed. Haures needed to stay loyal to Lucifer and make sure Uriel didn’t get hurt. The two goals seemed at impossible odds… or were they? Unlike my other true mating stories, this one is a more of a slow burn, in keeping with Uriel’s difficulties from the past, and the issue with Seth’s soul. It is a 40,000 word MM/Gay paranormal romance story, involving the mating of an angel and a demon. It involves coarse language and intimate scenes written for adults. While this story can be read as a standalone, it is best to have read the previous two books in the series for context.

Summary: March 1891. A parliamentary committee arrives at Larkspur Hall to assess Lord Clearwater’s suitability to become an earl. Prince Albert Victor will announce their decision at a society dinner on Archer’s thirty-second birthday. However, the MP with the authority to advance Archer to the title is the same man who caused Edward Hyde never to speak again. When the parliamentarians arrive to inspect the Larkspur Academy, Edward comes face to face with the man he had arrested for making unnatural advances. A man who was never tried for his crime. Silas Hawkins and the academy men band together to ensure Edward sees justice done while protecting Lord Clearwater’s reputation and each other. Using their skills in chemistry, physics and deception, they embark on a game of secrets and subterfuge where the unspoken causes the loudest outcry. “The quiet ones have the loudest voice. Them as say most by speaking in silence.” Fiona Hawkins, 1881 Speaking in Silence is the fifth book in the Larkspur Mysteries series, and touches on themes of victimisation and suicide. Like all books in the series, it is inspired by actual events from the late 1800s. With themes of friendship, bromance, male love and revenge, the story is more of a ‘how dunnit?’ than a ‘who dunnit?’ and like all of Jackson’s mysteries, contains humour, while mixing fact with fiction.
