About the author

I've always been enthusiastic about great stories, there is nothing better than getting lost in another world. Telling stories is something I've done my whole life. I've an interest in the paranormal - got a bit of a crush on the old vampire, world history - especially ancient Egypt and generally anything with a bit of a mystery to it. It's a big universe, anything is possible.

Emilia and Robert take a romantic getaway in a very isolated area in the Scottish Highlands. Emilia remembers an old well is along their route and encourages Robert to stop so they could stretch from their long car ride. Although there is a sign that says “Do not use the well”, two wishes are made.
