Cottage Books is thrilled to have Rachel Amphlett as the Author in the
Spotlight. Lets find out a little about Rachel.
Rachel
Amphlett previously worked in the UK publishing industry, played lead guitar in
rock bands and worked with the BBC before relocating from England to Australia
in 2005.
After
returning to writing, Rachel enjoyed publication success both in Australia and
the United Kingdom with her short stories.
In August 2011, Rachel published her first thriller White Gold as an
ebook, with a paperback version being released in 2012.
A
further Dan Taylor Thriller, ‘Under Fire’, was released in August 2013 and a
further two independent projects are currently being researched.
White
Gold
A
conspiracy that will end alternative energy research; an organisation killing
to protect its interests – and a bomb that will change the face of terrorism...
When Sarah Edgewater’s ex-husband is murdered by a radical organisation hell-bent on protecting their assets, she turns to Dan Taylor – geologist, ex-soldier, and lost cause. Together, they must unravel the research notes that Sarah’s ex-husband left behind to locate an explosive device that is circumnavigating the globe towards the London 2012 Olympics – and time is running out. In an fast-paced ecological thriller that spans the globe, from London to Brisbane and back via the Arctic Circle, Dan and Sarah aren’t just chasing the truth – they’re chasing a bomb that, if detonated, will change the future of alternative energy research and the centre of England’s capital forever.

Under Fire
An explosion
rocks a Qatari natural gas facility... a luxury cruise liner capsizes in the
Mediterranean... and someone has stolen a submarine... Are the events
connected? Dan Taylor doesn't believe in coincidences - all he has to do is
convince his superiors they are next in the terrorists' line of fire. As
Britain enters its worst winter on record, Dan must elude capture to ensure the
country's energy resources are protected. At all costs. In an action-packed
adventure, from the Middle East through the Mediterranean to London, Dan and
his team are on a quest which will test every choice he makes. Assisted by the
exotic Antonia Almasi, Dan realises he faces an adversary far greater than he
ever imagined. And not everyone will survive.
