I got the idea of writing a book of ghost stories when I was on holiday in June. I'd been reading a book about British homes, and witch tokens had been mentioned as often being found in nooks and crannies of old houses. My imagination leapt into action, and 'The Buckled Shoe' came into being.

Since then I've added more stories: about hideous professors, haunted staircases and the ghostly remains of elderly ladies. Over 1000 people took part in my giveaway for this collection, and the book is now live on Kindle and in paperback.

If you've added 'Queen Mary's Stair and Other Stories' to your to-read list, why not get your copy now? After all, winter's coming, the nights are drawing in, and Hallowe'en is just around the corner...
