Apartment 6 by Stuart Jamespsychological thriller
“Just how far would you go to protect someone?”
Meagan saw her abusive father kill her mother. She hid from him and was able to call
for help. Many years later Meagen finds herself also in an abusive relationship.
Whilst courting James was fine, when they married he changed.into a control freak
dictating her every move. She has found a friend in Oliver whom she met on the way
to work and now she has asked him for a favour- a huge one. Alternate chapters
take us back twenty years to Meagans childhood and how she saw how her mother
was treated and trying to get away for the sake of her daughter and her own safety.
Perhaps some will think how could Meagan be in this situation having seen it as a
child? It is apparently a known “thing” that the abused unknowingly seek out that
type of person as it all they have ever known- indoctrination- what others see as
abusive- they sadly think of as normal. This is not an easy read in parts
especially for anyone who has suffered abuse, but is well written.. A chilling
rather uncomfortable but gripping read with a few twists along the way.
A very cleverly thought out plot.

Just how far would you go to protect someone?

Author Bio:
I have always loved scary stories, especially ones that shocked me, left me terrified, looking under my bed or in the wardrobe before going to sleep.
There was just a fantastic buzz whenever I watched or read something that took my breathe away.
I remember going to my nan’s house in Ireland as a youngster with my mother and sister, on the West Coast, staying in a cottage, surrounded by miles of fields and my family sitting around the table in the kitchen at night telling ghost stories. Going out and exploring derelict farmhouses in the middle of nowhere. I remember clearly the field at the end of the road was supposed to be haunted by headless nuns.
My cousins often remind me of the great times we had, frightening each other and running for our lives whenever we’d see something that didn’t look right.
This is why I love nothing more than to tell a story.
I started writing two years ago, penning The House On Rectory Lane.
I got the idea from something that has often seemed scary to me. I know that a terrifying story has to be something that you’re frightened of doing, something that makes the hairs stand on the back of your neck, something that fills you with dread, yet also with excitement.
To me, the thought of going to a house in the middle of nowhere, upping and leaving a busy town and moving to the country is something that scares lots of people and me: the seclusion, the quiet, the darkness.
That’s what inspired me to write my first novel.
My second thriller is called Turn The Other Way.
I have multiple stories running, past and present. A family who want answers from the surgeon responsible for their daughter’s death.
A young woman looking for her parents after they go missing from a party.
A couple driving home and hearing screams for help from the back of the van in front of them.
A serial killer on the loose in North London, dragging victims off the street.
I’m so grateful when people not only read my thrillers but also take the time to get in touch and leave a review. To me, that is the greatest feeling, hearing from people that have enjoyed my work. I know then that I’m doing something right.
I’m currently working on my new thriller, Apartment Six, which Will be released 29th of January.
I’m 45, married and have two beautiful children. Currently, I’m a full-time plumber but would love nothing more than to make a living from my writing.
I hope I write stories and people continue to enjoy them for years to come. That would be completely amazing and a dream come true.
