Hello,

Mystery-thriller, 'Mortal End: A Simmering Pit of Jiggery Pokery,' is filled with horror and humour, tantalising suspense and absurd darkness, which will capture your imagination in a way no other murder mystery ever has. 

Mortal End is true crime + fairytale. Written as a prequel to Grimm's 'Hansel & Gretel,' Mortal End serves to explain who the wicked witch really was and why she wanted to eat children.

What readers are saying: 

"It's a smidge of Dickens, shaken but not stirred with "A League of Gentlemen", sort of starcrossed with a bit of Neil Gaiman, plus a soupcon of Terry Pratchett. And totally and utterly your own!” 

“Mortal End is the funniest and most disturbing adult fairytale ever written.” 

"Despite it's subject matter it is light-hearted in it's delivery and the clever way the writer expresses herself is a joy to behold." 

"Toula's imagination knows no bounds. Her characters are original and fascinating and leap off the page. She is a smart writer with the ability to make a story exciting and mysterious and will take your breath away."

Mortal End: A Simmering Pit of Jiggery Pokery is available on Amazon, B&N, Powell's etc. 

The second book in the series, Mortal End, Too is currently being written with chapters being added regularly to Wattpad to give you a taste of the storyline and will be published Halloween 2015.
