About Fear Knocked at the Door by Stephen B. Charles
Steve Sparrowhawk, a bored IT contractor, meets a beautiful young businesswoman called Fanny, in a Halifax hotel over breakfast. She’s in town to secure the signature of an elusive Banking CEO, on a highly lucrative and life-changing £50 million contract.
Inevitably, when there’s so much money at stake, dark forces appear from out of the shadows and Fanny’s contract and her life come under immediate threat.
Steve agrees to help her get the contract signed and to protect her life, when he realises that the threat is coming from none other than his old school nemesis, Professor Percy Peregrine-Falcon.
Follow Steve and Fanny’s hilarious rollercoaster adventures, firstly in the UK, then whilst staying at the Ritz Carlton hotel in Sarasota, Florida, and finally on a two-week Caribbean cruise.
Why is breakfast in bed so dangerous, who has a budgie smuggling wardrobe malfunction at the Beach Club, who comes out on top when the beautiful soprano Anastasia is set upon by Marilyn, the tattooed dinner lady, at her lunchtime concert in the ship’s ballroom and who is a sweaty fat pin-head?
How do Jayne Mansfield, Marilyn Monroe, Jane Russell and The Invisible Man come to Fanny’s aid at the swingers party?
Who’d have thought that peanut brittle could be so versatile and interesting?
Is Steve in love with Fanny, Susan or Anastasia?
Does the contract get signed?
Has the fear gone for good?

Author Bio:
Stephen enjoys writing books, mostly fiction and humorous, based loosely on his many adventures around the world on cruise holidays.
When not writing, he works as an IT contractor and his hobbies are learning to play the piano, song-writing, going to the theatre, playing Bridge, classical music, pop music, playing the guitar, gardening and jogging around the local cricket ground during the summer.
His musical tastes are many and varied, but his absolute favourites are The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, ZZ Top and The Who.
His Grandmother once told him that the family were related to ‘Butch’ Cassidy through her side of the family, who were the Parkers of Burnley in Lancashire, UK. Stephen is keen to find firm evidence of this by tracing his family tree.
His parents ran a guest house on the Fylde Coast, Lancashire, UK, where he enjoyed an idyllic childhood beside the seaside, played a lot of rugby at school and as a boy was an avid Blackpool FC supporter.
He has three older brothers and one younger sister.
