🐾DEXTER BONNY🐾

Self-proclaimed guard dog and certified muffin connoisseur, Dex has been keeping Frankie Bonny safe (ish) for approximately 10 years. Given he's eternally young at heart and in his prime, it’s best not to mention age. While other dogs merely bark at danger, Frankie Bonny's canine familiar prefers to communicate his warnings telepathically. This usually involves a running commentary on both impending doom AND his uncanny ability to trip his enemy or his mom. His now infamous ‘Attack Pose’ has struck terror into the hearts of evil-doers... or at least convinced them he's experiencing a tummy ache.

A self-styled Rottweiler trapped in a Jack Russell's body, Dex has cheated death more times than his witch would like to count. This is thanks to his propensity for charging into danger with all the self-preservation instincts of a toddler experiencing a sugar rush. When not saving (or tripping) his witch during supernatural predicaments, Dex can be found conducting intensive quality control tests on blueberry muffins. He considers this his sacred duty, right after his role as a magical familiar, and just before his position as a professional belly rub recipient.

However, if you hear him being called ‘DEXTER!’, it probably means he's been caught taste-testing the entire muffin inventory again. Frankie is giving serious thought to giving him a middle name to add extra gravitas to this.

Could you take a life to save your own?

Talented artist Paige Masters is trapped in a prison of her own choosing. It doesn’t matter that it’s architecturally-designed with stunning views, it’s still a prison.

With de facto partner, Greg Walker, chipping away at her self-worth, she needs to get out while she still can. Away from the sniping, the comments on her mental health, her appearance and, most damaging of all, her art. If he takes that, she’s got nothing.

Without friends or family thanks to a flurry of no-shows or Greg insulting them, Paige is on her own. So, when in a bizarre twist of fate she’s gifted someone else’s life, she doesn’t think twice.

Dumped on a remote island with eleven strangers, she finds herself in the middle of the top-rated reality TV show, Natural Selection. Week one and thanks to the show's much-touted THERE'S NOWHERE TO HIDE, Paige is close to losing her mind. Week two and the biggest challenge isn't losing her mind, it's losing her life.

With the top prize on the line, does she come clean about what she's found, or will she have to sacrifice her true self and her past in order to survive? Find out in Her Last Gasp, the second standalone thriller in the A Dose of Reality Series.
