THE SHRAPNEL ACADEMY

AFTER THE PEACE

This is the story of the Honourable Guinevere Dilberne, daughter of Arnold, 11th Earl of Dilberne, Sandra Sinclair and Rita Boniface. Yes, that's right. Three parents. Or, in fact, four, if you wish to count Sandra's husband Clive. Though he played little part in it. It all begins with a loving couple, their intefering neighbour, a test tube and a turkey baster. These days, anything can happen...

BEFORE THE WAR

Consider Vivien in November 1922: she is twenty-four, and a spinster. She wears fashionable clothes, but she is plain and - almost worse in those times - intelligent. At nearly six foot tall, she is known unkindly by her family as ‘the giantess.' Fortunately, Vivien is rich, so she can travel to London and bribe a charismatic gentleman publisher to marry her. What he does not know is that Vivien is pregnant with another man’s child, and will die in childbirth in just a few months...

DARCY'S UTOPIA (X Rated)

Two journalists, Hugo Vansitart and Valerie Jones, meet while interviewing Eleanor Darcy, the notorious wife of the former economic adviser to the Cabinet. Falling in love, they hole up together in a hotel to write their pieces, but Eleanor's view of utopia seems to affect them both strangely. X rated, explicit sexual content.

DEATH OF A SHE DEVIL

Ruth Patchett, the original ‘She Devil,’ is now eighty-four and keen to retire. But who can take up her mantle? Enter Ruth's grandson Tyler, a confident twenty-something: beautiful, resentful and unemployed. Tyler won't be satisfied until he can transition into the ultimate symbol of power and status. A woman.

FEMALE FRIENDS

They first met as children in 1940s London. Thirty years later, Marjorie, Chloe, and Grace make their way through an almost unrecognizable post-war society, coping with husbands, children, parents, and the messy business of life.

THE LIFE AND LOVES OF A SHE-DEVIL

When Ruth discovers her husband is having a passionate affair with the lovely Mary Fisher, she is so seized by envy she becomes truly diabolic, and embarks on a course of destruction which brings those around her their just deserts and herself an amazing reward.
