Excerpt from "Bloodline"
I didn’t want too spoil the mood by telling Mary about the blood thing but couldn’t help it. I wish I'd never bothered; she was repulsed.‘Come on, you’ve had black pudding before, and that’s made from blood,’ I said.‘Yeah, but I think eating a bit of fried pudding is a bit different than drinking the stuff raw, do you want some toast?’ She was going to take some serious convincing.

Excerpt from Janie's Room:
The room was a typical girl’s room, with pastel shades and butterflies adorning the walls. It felt like Janie might walk in at any minute and scream at you to get out. On the far wall, under the windowsill, there was a large wooden box. It would be a tight fit, but it might just work. Joe climbed in and lowered the lid down softly. He smiled to himself. Will would never find him in here.
