Sleuths (Samantha Moody)

SHE'S A FAN

Melody runs a fan account for TV's hottest regency romance actor, Griff Beckett. But when one of the photos she posts shows Griff in a romantic position with an unknown woman, angry fans turn on Melody and accuse her of the ultimate fan betrayal: posting a fake picture.

HE'S A CELEBRITY

Hurt and angry, Melody sets out to prove the photo is real and their favourite actor is no longer single...until, instead of a girlfriend, she finds a missing person report.

AND HE'S...KIDNAPPED SOMEONE?

It should be a job for the authorities, but nobody will take Melody seriously. She'll have to team up with her internet friends, and a (distractingly sexy) journalist, Levi, to save the day.

Can Melody solve the case, save the girl, and get her dream man in the process?

Sam is an award winning screenwriter. She once declared she was a witch-though the two bus rides to the nearest occult shop made it more theoretical than practical. Sam graduated with a Law degree during the 2008 financial crash. Jobless, she escaped to Japan to find herself but instead found a haunted apartment and taught English in a Junior High School. On returning to the UK, she worked in corporate innovation but was made redundant when Covid struck. To make ends meet, she turned to gig writing for indie game developers and discovered a passion for screenwriting. Inspired by her experiences starting over and her complicated family relationships, she now pens female-led coming of age stories with a touch of horror and adventure.
