Double Lives
Christmas 1915, Henry was home on leave and about to propose to Sarah. When an unwelcome face from Adam’s past arrives with blackmail on his mind, Adam fears his life will come crashing down. When a stolen necklace leads to the murder of a popular resident, Adam finds himself caught up in more than just blackmail.
Finding the Past
Lily Spencer spends her days in her wool shop on Gateshead’s Wellington Street. She is making final preparations for Christmas in 1964 when she meets a stranger from the future. Adam Turner is a man of secrets that could land him in jail, and he will do anything to keep them hidden. When a resident dies in a tragic accident, it soon becomes clear that it was murder. Adam needs to know who would want to kill such a popular person without an enemy in the world.

Adam Turner Books
The characters in the Adam Turner novels are fictional, but mostly the places in Gateshead and Newcastle are real and some still exist.
I have tried to describe the locations as I recall them from the sixties. But I was only a child then, so I might not remember them exactly as they were. One or two places only exist in my imagination, but are there to help the story.
The places outside of the northeast are as I imagine them to have been in the past. Any errors are mine, the novels are stories, so I hope to be forgiven for any mistakes.
