The Practice Witnesses, a psychological thriller concept package. The graphic shows 3 novel covers and the free lead magnet, Repeat the First Sentence.

The concept

A community advocate in Leeds helps nervous witnesses practise speaking clearly. Her rule is to rehearse the act of answering, never the facts of an answer. Former volunteers discover what happens when a friend, lover or regular participant quietly supplies the words. Each story sets a rehearsed memory against an ordinary object or witness that stayed independent.

Tim remembers the blue scarf his brother wore on the last night of his life. Wendy asks him to draw it. He draws the scarf hanging in their rehearsal room, complete with a tear it acquired yesterday. The free companion novella is Repeat the First Sentence.

The worldThe practice group offers company rather than legal coaching. The returning advocate, Wendy Flint, is an outsider to the institutions involved and has to earn each person’s trust.
Series tropesUnderdog • Opposing Morals to Moral Growth • Hidden Relationship
Intended readershipFor psychological thriller readers who like a fair chance to notice when a convincing memory becomes a performance.
Tone & contentMental pressure and coercion. No illness supplies the culprit or the solution. The source of each false belief is exposed.

The people behind the promise

Free novellaWendy Flint and a trainee carer who witnessed a fall.
Book 1Tim Brewer, a grieving brother, and Wendy.
Book 2Faith Dooley, a retired receptionist, and a woman who says Faith saw her leave.
Book 3Ruth Dodson, a single mother, and her adult son’s old acting teacher.

Series arc

A repeated sentence exposes harmless contamination before it does damage. Three later rehearsals corrupt an alibi, the memory of a woman’s presence and an accusation the witness was proud to make.

The three books

The direction is set. The books are written after you order.

Two strangers begin a description with the same peculiar sentence. One was outside the room. Both are certain they saw the chair move.

The Alibi We Rehearsed

Tim remembers the blue scarf his brother wore on the last night of his life. Wendy asks him to draw it. He draws the scarf hanging in their rehearsal room, complete with a tear it acquired yesterday.

Story outline
Story arc and endingTim’s partner rehearsed him into providing an alibi for her own brother, who assaulted the dead man. The venue’s cloakroom record and the original witness sketch establish that the scarf never left the hall. Tim admits he embellished the first account to sound helpful. He retracts it in time for investigators to find an independent driver. The attacker is charged on that evidence.
Emotional payoffTim gives up the certainty that had made his grief bearable.
Story focusGrief to Hope
Length55,000 words planned
Book 2 of three

The Woman Outside My Version

Faith remembers a woman walking out before the attack. The woman remembers Faith waving. Faith’s right arm was in plaster that winter.

Story outline
Story arc and endingThe woman first met Faith at a later rehearsal and linked that memory to the evening she wanted to erase. Her former lover encouraged the confusion so a rival would be convicted. A dated café portrait shows the cast and the stranger Faith actually greeted. Wendy finds the original server, who identifies the real departure time. Faith corrects the false accusation and the lovers’ messages expose the plan.
Emotional payoffFaith can take responsibility for a confident mistake without accepting someone else’s crime.
Story focusRevenge
Length55,000 words planned
Book 3 of three

Say It Without the Mirror

Ruth can give her son’s account word for word. Without the rehearsal mirror she places the door on the opposite wall. Her son never saw the room from either side.

Story outline
Story arc and endingThe teacher and a volunteer staged an account to hide their relationship and blame the son for a fire. Ruth heard a real argument but learned the supposed visual details from a mirror scene. A scorch mark under the fixed rack proves where the fire actually started. She breaks with the group and supplies her original voice message before anyone deletes it. Her son is cleared and the teacher’s role is independently established.
Emotional payoffRuth helps her son most by admitting the limit of her own view.
Story focusSingle Parent
Length55,000 words planned
