COSY CRIME
THE AMY HAMMOND MYSTERIES - writing as Tia Brown

THE SHADOWS - TIA BROWN WRITING AS ELEANOR NEVILLE
Welcome to the world of MI27. Its agents prefer to call themselves the Shadows because their job is to make it seem that nothing strange ever happens, so no one notices when drug and trafficking rings are literally destroyed. There definitely aren’t any cults that are trying to destroy the world either. Nor are there as many terrorist attacks, and there are definitely no public figures who need to be saved from the consequences of their naivete and stupidity. Or at least nothing like as many of them as there could have been.
Shadow agents are carefully profiled and assigned partners that they’re compatible with because a man/woman team is far less conspicious. Their boss likes to think that they never fall in love with each other or have sex so they do their best not to get caught doing it. Sometimes people from outside their world get caught up in their operations and find that they’re capable of things that they never imagined they could be and definitely didn’t want to. They also realise that the world is a far stranger and more dangerous place than they imagined it could be, and if they’re lucky, then they get to live happily ever after.

ESTHER AND THE PROFESSOR COSY WORLD WAR TWO MYSTERIES - writing as Tia Neville
World War 2 changed everything for wife and mother Esther Graham, or Mrs Robert Graham as she’s known to the world, although she’s always very much Esther on the inside even though she’s bound by the rigid social conventions of the times. She married well, even if Robert did have an affair that left her being blackmailed and him with a daughter he doesn’t know about. More unusually, she worked at the Bureau for InterServices Cooperation in the military zone of Parkstone on Sea (which is now Sandbanks.) Back then, Poole, which is a lovely town on the Dorset coast, was number three on the list of places that were most likely to be invaded, so of course the government decided to put top secret organisations and evacuees there. (Sadly, this, like all the incidents I write about, is absolutely true.
This makes it pretty much inevitable that she and her boss, the enigmatic tuberculosis survivor Professor James Lomax, would have found trouble as they volunteer to drive the Women’s Voluntary Services canteen van two evenings a week. On top of that, his cousin, Kit Carmichael, is professional Army, a bomb disposal officer and a strange kind of spy who needs contacts in the community who can notice what people are trying to hide.
As Esther fights her own war, she learns things about herself and her husband that she never expected to, and is horrified that she’s actually happier than she was before the War.

LUCY WILLIAMS COSY WORK AT HOME MYSTERIES writing as Tia Brown
Once, Lucy was someone else, living a very different kind of life as a spy. Then a job went wrong, and she and her husband had to take on new identities and live in a new place. All their friends had to believe they were dead, and now her beloved Martin is dead too because he died of cancer during the Covid lockdown.
She’s been told to keep her head down at all costs because people are still looking for her, but her unique skills come in very handy when her daughter’s being bullied. From then on, her world gradually changes to include new friends and old enemies, all while juggling motherhood and some very strange situations that need the skills that only a mother has.

HARBOURSIDE COSY SILVER SEASIDE ROMANCES
Hollywood Golden Years actress once said ‘Old age is not for the faint-hearted.’ She was absolutely right, so this is a sheltered housing complex with a difference. The residents may not be as young as they were, or they may be other reasons why they need a refuge which comes with concierge Hannah, but they’re determined that life is for living and they’re not ready to give up yet. This series is set down the road from Lavender House, on the Sandbanks peninsula were the rich people come to play. I was going to say that ordinary people live there too, only I’ve never believed that anyone is ordinary, and the people who live there definitely aren’t.

CHRISTIANS CROSS COSY PARANORMAL MYSTERIES by Tia Brown
A cosy vampire mystery series that’s set in an apparently idyllic Dorset village with witch hunters, nixies, a werecat and a vicar who’s far more than he’s trying very hard to seem, but you don’t need to worry, because he’s very definitely on the side of good. Please ignore the publicity because vampires aren’t all bad. Nor are all humans or all anything else, but when they are, it’s up to Kit Conway and her unlikely team to sort it out because otherwise it really could be the end of the world. After all, what’s the unlikeliest place you can think of for the site of the final battle between good and evil?
