I live in the UK near the Bronte moors where I walk my rescue dog, Roxy. I write dark fiction, and ghost stories. I was obsessed with historic haunted houses growing up and old movies especially film noirs of the 1940's. I blend the two genres in my fiction. I teach creative writing, edit and mentor writers. Away from my writing I swim, craft, sing, eat chocolate and laugh a lot with friends.

Gorgeous anthology, Quality writing, Excellent read!

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2019

Beautiful collection of stories and poetry, from spooky ghost stories to deep and meaningful pieces that tackle the more difficult aspects of life, death, and the scope of human imagination. Excellent, highly recommend.
