PJ Skinner is the author of the Sam Harris Series of adventure, mystery and thriller novels. She is a geologist who has spent thirty years roaming the planet and collecting tall tales and real-life experiences. After an enforced lay-off, she started to write fact-based novels from the relative safety of London. She still travels and works worldwide collecting material for the series and having her own adventures.
Her complete Sam Harris Adventure series, of seven classic adventure novels, will appeal to lovers of exploration, mystery and travel. It has a unique viewpoint provided by Sam, a female interloper in a male world, as she struggles with alien cultures, corruption and herself. Laced with humour and keen observations, these novels have multicultural casts, and conflicted villains and heroes.
PJ is working on a third book in the Green Family Series, Fighting Green, which follows Liz Green as she escapes her life in London and buys a tumbledown house in Ireland to renovate. She leaves her boyfriend, Sean O’Connor, to face his addiction to alcohol and the demons of his past. PJ has taken a new pen name for this series to avoid confusion, so the books will now appear under the name of Kate Foley instead of PJ Skinner.
She has also written Mortal Mission, a hard sci-fi mystery novel, under the name of Pip Skinner. It is out on pre-order, and will be published in August.
