RUNAWAY TRAIN
Simon Doyle
When nineteen-year-old Denis Murphysneaks onto an exclusive overnight train from Dublin to Belfast, he wasn’t counting on being caught. Or falling in love. But he has some trust issues to overcome first.
Oliver Lloyd is famous just for being rich, but he doesn’t let it affect him the way it does his sister. When he is asked to cut the ribbon at Ireland’s first extravagant overnight train
service, he jumps at the chance to get away from his money-grabbing friends and his narcissistic ex-boyfriend and clear his head.
But when Denis and Oliver are thrust together onboard a luxury steam train, the screeching brakes won’t be the only thing making sparks fly.
If only they could get past their differences.

REVIEW OF RUNAWAY TRAIN BY BBE
“Doyle’s ability to let you visualise exactly what he’s writing is a gift and the plot never lagged at any moment. I was rooting for Denis and Oliver the whole journey and the friendship that developed between them felt natural and timely. This is one of those HEA romances that the LGBTQ+ world needs more of, and the fact the author identifies as a gay man makes it all the more sentimental. Although the book touches on some darker subjects interspersed throughout the humour, everything is handled with the tenderness it deserves. A fantastic debut novel from Simon Doyle and I’m looking forward to his future offerings. (Also, shout out to the side character Tom; he’s my hero!)”

Founder of Best Book Editors
Katherine has held almost every single job imaginable, from painting gnomes to zookeeper. She spent most of her life in the caring profession and has managed both a nursing home and a care agency. But her passion for the written language always brings her home to novel writing.
Born in Tyne-and-Wear, North-East England, she has settled in the beautiful Lake District, Cumbria, with her partner, two dogs, a cat, an iguana and a python (just don’t ask her which of those six things is her favourite!).
She specialises in content creation and social media outreach, and has been a developmental editor for hundreds of clients. She owns and operates bestbookeditors.com where she helps foundling authors polish their skills. However, after being diagnosed with a dramatic brain condition in 2022, she has had to let 23 staff go, and scale back the business. BBE is still very much open, we are just fewer and can’t take as much work on.
Katherine Black is the author of psychological thriller/detective/fantasy adventure novels.
