edit data

I’ve had a lifelong interest in horror and the supernatural, and am thrilled to finally be publishing my novel, THE APPARITIONS OF RUIN. It’s quite far removed from your traditional ghost story - certainly an original twist with its central mystery and featuring characters with some really unique paranormal abilities.
When not reading books myself, I can usually be found walking the moors of Lancashire.
I work at Blackburn University Centre supporting students in engaging with their programmes.
