Lost in Darkness

A Gothic Tale of the Monsters That Reside in All of Our Hearts

I’ve always been intrigued by a melancholy tale of woe…but not one that’s too woeful. Gimme a break. Life is hard enough without a sad ending. Am I right?

So when I set out to write Lost in Darkness, I aimed to capture that misty grey gloom while still bringing it around to light and hope.

In real life, Mary Shelley was a tragic character. Her life was filled with trials, many of them by her own making and others not. Just like us. We are all sometimes the instigators of the consequences in our lives. And that’s how I fashioned the characters in Lost in Darkness. Do you wonder which character you might resonate with the most ? Maybe it’s Amelia, the determined travel writer who’s got a streak of independence. Or is it Graham Lambert, the man who puts justice ahead of his own wellbeing? Or maybe it’s Colin Balfour, always judged for his outward appearance before anyone gets to know the real man on the inside.

Here’s a quiz for you to find out which one you are:

And here’s a blurb of the book:

Even if there be monsters, there is none so fierce as that which resides in man’s own heart.
Enchanting Regency-Era Gothic Romance Intertwined with Inspiration from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

Travel writer Amelia Balfour’s dream of touring Egypt is halted when she receives news of a revolutionary new surgery for her grotesquely disfigured brother. This could change everything, and it does. . .in the worst possible way.

Surgeon Graham Lambert has suspicions about the doctor he’s gone into practice with, but he can’t stop him from operating on Amelia’s brother. Will he be too late to prevent the man’s death? Or to reveal his true feelings for Amelia before she sails to Cairo?
