#4 – Edge of the Blade
Jude’s a girl on a mission: To win a medal at the national skating competition. First she has to swerve an exam, alienate her friends and defy her dad. But she hadn’t bargained on being alone in a big city at night …
Humour, romance, clever writing, and a hint of danger.

#5 – Music was my First Love
Kat’s dream since she was small was to sing on stage. Her “cousin” Liam makes that possible and the Teen Idol competition could get her even closer to her dream. Both of these come with a price, but is she willing to pay either?
All the feels: Funny, intense, and endearing.
#6 – Stand by Me
Ray’s big secret takes everyone by surprise, but he’s not impressed when Luke and Jude steal his thunder. His friends start to notice how his new-found mobility is making him crazy but a tumble down the stairs puts him back in hospital. Did he fall, or was he pushed?
The right balance of lust, love, and friendship.

Here are the tag lines:
Archer: Mmm. Shoot an apple off his friend’s head or lose his food, horse and clothes? Some decisions require little thought.
Rory: Stick his neck out to save the so-called friends who betrayed him? Would you?
Reagan: Decode the mysteries of white horses, crop circles and ley lines to save his people? No pressure, then.
Slater: Knowledge is dangerous. What Slater knows about the altar stone could prove fatal.
Geraint: Purest Evil threatens Renegates and Townies alike. Can Geraint unite these warring factions in time to save Oxford?
This is what professionals are saying:
"Enchanting to the last page, Archer has the feel of an epic saga in the making and is sure to find an enthusiastic following. Definitely deserving of a place on your bookshelf, it is highly recommended." -- Book Viral, Review Site
“A series that’s hard to fault, with an original and rich story world that’s easy to fall in love with.” -- SJ Myers, Author, The Prayer
"Jacky has nailed the character of a medieval archer and the books are a thrilling blend of action and rich historical detail." -- Kevin Hicks, Historical Re-enactor and Professional Archer
"Jacky has produced a credible parallel universe, a combination of the English middle ages blended with modern-day England in realistic and well realised settings. I especially enjoyed travelling across Alternative Oxfordshire."-- Ronald Hutton, Professor of History at Bristol University
“Gray certainly knows how to spin a saga, more importantly she knows how to pitch the tone of speculative fiction. The plot is compelling, the characters superb and the writing excellent. It’s the kind of alchemy that, on the rare occasions it comes together, is hard to replicate.” -- Book Viral
"I thought the sword and buckler bout between Finn and Archer was incredibly well done, a very engaging piece of writing. Archer's time with Bowman in general was a highlight, especially the making of the two bows." -- JJ, Archer and Historian
