THE PERFECT NANNY...

An absolutely addictive and gripping

Psychological Thriller with a breath-taking twist

RELEASES 02-09-24!

It's time to reveal... THE PERFECT NANNY, a Psychological Thriller, releasing on February 9, 2024!

This book made me paranoid and left me wide awake many nights, but in a good way (that's a thing right?).


Blurb:

“My baby! You stole my baby!” Lara Smith is hysterical, her red lipstick smeared. A teddy lies abandoned in the empty crib. But I didn’t know the Smiths had a baby. I didn’t even know this nursery existed…


Lara’s husband - deathly white - dials 911 and says: “The babysitter has taken our little girl.”


I’m in shock. This is impossible. Because earlier this evening when the Smiths left for their fancy charity gala - Lara in high heels and a floor-length gown, Corbin in a tux - they never mentioned a baby. And they certainly didn’t show me this nursery room, up in the eaves of their sprawling, beachfront mansion.


The Smiths only hired me to take care of their nine-year-old twins, now blinking at me in matching horror.

As I’m taken away in handcuffs, I try to swallow my terror.


Because my being here is no coincidence.


When my own darkest secret is spilled, will anyone believe I’m innocent?

And who is really in danger: This perfect couple? Their missing child? Or me?

A new Historical Fiction novel called The family Behind the Walls by Shari J Ryan

For the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation, I choose to keep history alive with: The Family Behind the Walls

By Shari J. Ryan • January 27, 2025
The Family Behind the Walls: Absolutely heartbreaking and gripping World War Two fiction- My great-grandfather was murdered in a gas chamber upon arrival at Auschwitz. He died from Zyklon B poisoning. His body was thrown into a pile with countless others and taken to the crematorium, where all that remained of him was reduced to ash. Why? Because he was Jewish. A question has haunted me as I grew up and tried to piece together my family’s history: What was it all for? This question became the driving force behind my writing of The Family Behind the Walls. I wondered if, by the end of the story, I might find an answer. And I did.

My Husband's Past

By Shari J. Ryan • September 23, 2024
My best friend disappeared twenty years ago. I thought she was dead. But today I’ve received a message that makes my heart stop. It says it’s from Izzy. And she’s blaming my new husband for her disappearance… I stare at the email in horror. I’ve only just managed to put what happened to Izzy behind me. My life is so different now. I have two perfect children, and the perfect husband at last. “I couldn’t just say nothing. You remember I was being stalked? My stalker is your husband. You're in danger. Run.” My blood turns to ice as I look up at my charming, caring husband. Is this some kind of joke? Griffin is kind, he's safe. But as he smiles at me, the doubt starts to creep in. The way he always asks me about my childhood, pressing for information about my friends. The way he always wants to know where I am… I thought my best friend was dead. I thought her stalker killed her. If the email isn’t really from Izzy, then who sent it—and what do they want from my family? But if it is, am I living with the man I’ve feared for twenty years? And if he can’t hurt Izzy, will he settle for me instead—or worse, my children…?
