New Short Story: In-Between

The Fictions publication on Medium published my short story In-Between. Originally conceived as a supernatural satire, this evolved into something far more personal. It concerns a recently deceased man whose attempts to haunt his family are constantly interrupted by ghost politicians attempting to secure his vote in an afterlife by-election. Check it out in full here. I hope you enjoy it.

BIG NEWS: The Spectre of Springwell Forest to be published by Dragon Soul Press

I am very pleased to announce my next novel, The Spectre of Springwell Forest, is to be published by Dragon Soul Press this December.

Spectre of Springwell Forest sinister wood - for blog headerNeedless to say, I am utterly thrilled at this news. Having a traditional publisher has been a wonderful, eye-opening experience, and I am very excited to see where things go from here. My previous novels have all been self-published with varying degrees of success, but it is wonderful to now have talented publishing professionals working alongside me.

The Spectre of Springwell Forest is a mysterious, ghostly, gothic nail-biter. The story involves a young mother who is strangely drawn to a sinister painting of an abandoned railway tunnel. If you enjoyed my previous novels The Birds Began to Sing or The Thistlewood Curse, you’ll definitely enjoy this one too.

In the meantime, don’t forget I also have my short story Once in a Lifetime coming soon, as part of the All Dark Places horror anthology, also published by Dragon Soul Press.

All Dark Places is released on the 30th of October.

The Spectre of Springwell Forest is released on the 20th of December.
