Cheating, lying, cutting class... and that's just the staff!!
Why are teachers leaving the profession, skipping work with stress and dying less than a year after retirement?
Rachel is one of the high school’s best teachers. She gets on well with everyone. The kids like her. The staff like her less, but only because the kids like her and not them.
But annoying managers, obnoxious students, needlessly excessive paperwork, useless training sessions and catastrophic amounts of marking have Rachel wondering if she should just quit and pursue her dreams of becoming a writer.
Meet fresh-faced and eager journalist Joy Attwood. She's about to spend the day with Rachel to discover what being a high school teacher is really like. No frills, no red carpet, no gimmicks - just straight into the S#!T!
Rachel will reveal all her underhand tricks of the trade - from managing unruly behaviour, to cutting corners when marking work - for the sake of the book you're about to read. Joy has picked one of the worst days to follow this pi$$ed off high school teacher.
Can Joy survive the day without wanting to kill someone, or will Rachel beat her to it?

British actor Pat Cake is trying hard to be everybody... but himself.
Well-known character actor Pat Cake has made quite a name for himself in British crime movies. After all he has accomplished, landing the pivotal role in the new sequel, Jesus Christ Social Media Star, in London’s West End was just another feather in his cap.
For Joy Attwood this new assignment is raising the stakes. Last time out she accidentally left her subject without a job. This time, she’ll have to convince the media spotlight that she’s not providing Pat with a different kind of ‘job'!
Throughout her tumultuous day, Joy will have her fingers smashed in a car door, been on the receiving end of obnoxious and vulgar film crews and become the target of the most salacious social media backlash since [name removed on legal advice]’s incident with that gerbil and the drugs.
Joy discovers that sometimes the bright lights of the big stage aren’t quite as gleaming as you might think. As Pat helps Joy navigate the cutthroat world of acting, her biggest challenge just might come from getting too involved with the subject she’s following. Can Joy survive the day under the watchful eye of the adoring public? Or will her anxious and shy demeanour give her up as a fool in front of thousands of people?

I Know What You Wore Last Summer.
Well-known Russian Supermodel, Oksana Volkov, scratched and clawed her way to the top of London’s most notable fashion runways. Highly sought-after and ruthless, the Russian diva is under no illusion that her career is threatened by younger models emerging onto the scene.
Armed with a brash disposition and a bitter resolve to end her career on a strong note, Oksana readies herself to face the crowds of the hottest fashion event in London – The Synapse/Vladychestvo Fashion Show - and kill the runway one last time. And maybe a few of the other models while she’s at it!
For journalist Joy Attwood this new assignment is so much more than simply raising the stakes, it is critical to her success. Despite feeling responsible for the events on the West End Stage, Joy knows without a doubt that unless she can reign in her personal flaws, everything she has worked for will be gone in the blink of an eye.
When a questionable request from one of the fashion industry’s most famous players forces her to test the boundaries of her own morality, Joy finds herself walking a very anorexic line; the most dangerous she has yet to cross in the name of journalism.
With all eyes watching the splendour of the fashion world, Joy discovers that some things are not always what they seem. All runway lights cast shadows. Just how far will she go to discover the truth beyond the curtain? Can Joy survive the bright lights of the runway stage?

And what’s the deal with the new fashion trends “selfie/harm” and “Tyrannarexia”?

First, they smashed the art scene. Now they’ll smash the system.

Artist Jake Priestley has made quite a name for himself at a young age. Claiming the coveted Soul Flame Grand Prize of seven million euros had been more of a stroke of dumb luck than intentional tenacity. But that was nothing compared to the immense art event being held in Paris. As Jake and his team, The Chemical Collective, gear up for the big day ahead of them, there is nothing that will stop him from taking home the Grand Prize…
For journalist Joy Attwood the stakes have become stratospheric. And that’s a hell of a height to fall from!
With her marriage torn apart by a single, ill-fated decision to erase all traces of her runway encounters, there is no doubt that her life is spiraling, out of control. But when the days with Jake turn from bizarre to downright terrifying she finds herself in the midst a terrifying heist situation.

This time that she’s bitten off more than she can chew. And as for swallowing…

Can Joy Attwood survive the dark streets of Paris? Or will The Artist’s true colours prove to be the last thing she ever sees? The fate of an iconic landmark is at stake.

Joy fears that the only way out this time could be in a body bag.

The Artist is the fourth book in the groundbreaking series from Chrome Valley Books and British

In Their Shoes Book 5 The Nurse

Praise for In Their Shoes - The Nurse


"The Nurse captures and intensifies the chaos and bureaucracy of working in the health service. It will reduce the reader to tears of outrage, shock and hilarity!" - Jo Taylor, Student Nurse, UK"

It’ll take a bucket-load of guts, heart and patients to survive this one!

The inpatients are getting impatient.
The psychiatric ward is losing its mind.
The maternity ward is suffering a midwife crisis.

Welcome to the graveyard shift at Shotterlay General Hospital.

It’s chucking-out time at the bars on Valentine’s weekend, and chucking up time down at the hospital. The poor, sick and infirm in the waiting area are revolting… in more ways than one!

Soon, Shotterlay’s Accident & Emergency department won’t be so much A-OK, as DOA. None of this will stop Sangita Gallagher, though. She’s the hospital’s charge nurse and runs an incredibly tight ship; expediently plugging holes in the paperwork, shift patterns and her patients’ gory wounds.

Tonight’s medical mayhem will be journalist Joy Attwood’s toughest assignment yet. It’ll involve copious amounts of violence, blood, vomit, mucous, amniotic fluid, lacerations, fractures, amputations, heart attacks, fornication and pulling things out of unwashed bottoms.

It’s absolute chaos and should really come with a trigger warning!

If you love British humor, satire and gross-out farce (think John Cleese, Helen Fielding, Tom Sharpe, Kurt Vonnegut and Imogen Edwards-Jones) then you cannot afford to miss out on In Their Shoes - The Artist!
