Lost Souls

by Ian Williams

For most teenagers adolescence means zits and mood swings, for Will Hawkins it means dealing with ghosts.
After nearly drowning as a baby, he comes back to life with the ability to see the dead. He's on the point of turning thirteen, unaware that his life is about to change for ever, only his grandfather knows what awaits those like Will who are able to travel the shadowy realms between the living and the dead.
Will's about to find himself thrown into the dark, scary and often crazy world of the afterlife where he'll meet the ghosts of Shakespeare, Elvis, an army of Roman soldiers, an 18th century highwayman and a hundred year killer. Not forgetting the none too friendly spirit of Adolf Hitler.
Follow Will on his adventures as he treks through haunted hospitals and fights zombie chickens.

About the author

I grew up in Durham in the north east of England. After university I taught in Spain for 6 years, mostly in Barcelona.
I returned to the Uk to teach work as head of department in a secondary school in Yorkshire.
I live in York, a beautiful, historic city, and spend as much time as I can writing, going to the cinema and trying to get some half decent notes out of my guitars.
Stephen King and Conan Doyle got me into reading, Wilfred Owen into poetry. J. D. Salinger showed me it was ok to be different, John Irving made me laugh and cry and Jerome K. Jerome just still makes me smile.
