"When his mother, Barbara, died suddenly on May 11, 2022, James Beckley was left grasping for understanding in the emptiness that followed. In this beautifully raw and intimate memoir, he walks us through the shock, the silence, and the grief that followed her passing, exploring what it means to lose a parent when you're still learning how to live without them. 

With candour and courage, Beckley shares how counselling and the simple kindness of others became lifelines in his darkest moments— and how the memory of his mum continues to shape his life. Searching for solace in the written word, he found none; now, through this book, he hopes to be someone's "something out there."

True story. Real chills. One haunting you’ll never forget.

Real experiences revived by the chilling tales of Danny Robbins Uncanny, this is a haunting, heartfelt true short story where the past refuses to stay silent.  A Short True Ghost Story Nanny Grace is available on Amazon kindle and paperback now! 

Living In A Jukebox is James Beckley’s heartfelt journey through the soundtrack of his life—forty tracks that transport him across time and emotion. From tender childhood memories to transformative life moments, this book is a love letter to the music that shapes who we are and reminds us who we’ve been.

Patrick is dead. That’s where his story begins.

To move on, he must apologize—properly—to five people who deserve it most. But only Molly can hear him…I’m Still Here is an equal parts funny and poignant, tale about life, love, and making amends… even when you’re no longer alive to do it.

 

Panda lives alone in the zoo, until an adventurous squirrel shows him what the world can be. When Squirrel Met Panda is a heartwarming, colorful tale about discovering friendship—and yourself.

 

Bittersweet isn’t your typical love story.

It’s messy, chaotic, and filled with bad timing, worse decisions, and the kind of friendships that somehow survive both. From drunken dares and mannequin confessions to family feuds, violent comic-cons , and the eternal curse of Sutton High Street, Michael and Stephanie stumble their way through love, heartbreak, and everything in between. Along the way they’re joined by a cast of misfits — Kat, Paulette, Bobby, and the rest — proving that even when life feels like one long disaster, laughter and loyalty can still carry you through.

Heartfelt, hilarious, and just a little unhinged, the Bittersweet trilogy is about finding your people, screwing things up, and holding on tight anyway.

 

What if one small lie changed everything?

1995.  Will Roberts is seventeen, invisible at school, and hopelessly in love with Katy. He’s never said a word—until a scrap of lyrics falls out of his bag and changes everything.

One problem: the song isn’t his. It’s Oasis'.

As the lie spins out of control, Will is pulled into a world of teenage fame, family cracks, and first love that feels like it might shatter at any second. With the soundtrack of Britpop in the air and the weight of his dad’s absence at home, Will must learn what it means to tell the truth—before the song ends.

In a dark, dark staircase… she waits.

Helen Carter was supporting her husband when they went to stay and work on the house he grew up in.  But when her young son begins to dream of his Great Grandmother taking him away, and her daughter has more imaginary friends than usual, Helen discovers that their new home hides something far worse than creaks and shadows.  Nanny Stairs is waiting—an entity bound to the house, Helen must confront not only the spirit but the buried history that has haunted her husband’s family for generations before it hurts more people including her family and friends. 

Chilling, atmospheric, and deeply unsettling, Nanny Stairs is a throwback to the golden age of horror storytelling, perfect for fans of Poltergeist, The Omen, the books of Stephen King and the work of Mike Flanagan.

When Santa’s sleigh makes a surprise stop at the zoo, Squirrel and Panda find themselves whisked away on the adventure of a lifetime!

Along the way, they learn that Christmas isn’t just about presents—it’s about kindness, courage, and the joy of sharing it all with a friend.
