Author in the Spotlight - Rachel Amphlett


Brook 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.
