Crossroad Burials
The ethereal mists blurred Lucy Finnley’s vision and the murmurings within the wind made her uneasy. However, she had no choice other than to leave the City and take up residence at the Jack Rabbit Inn on the high moor. As she stepped over the threshold she was aware of the history, legends and malevolent spirits lingering within the fabric of the building. At least she could escape the trouble brewing in the rest of the world.
Down below in the valley, lies Hawks Rise on the Moor. Here many secrets hide beneath the veil of respectability and it is expected that everyone attends the church on Sundays where the Vicar shakes the still air with his sermons of damnation against the evils of an ancient tribe.
Slipping back in time Henry Mulberry, heir to Mulberry hall views the moor through troubled eyes. He is responsible for huge swathes of land along with the tenants. Dealing with Irish squatters, a stone quarry and mines is the least of his problems. The more pressing issues lie with his wayward younger brother Oscar, his irascible ailing father George and Abbott Mathew. He has little time to pursue matters of the heart or any other desires.
The hunt continues. Who will win the witches or the witchfinders?
This book may be read as a standalone.

About the author
E.M.G. Wixley
27 books54 followersElizabeth Wixley was born in Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom but has moved many times during her childhood. She attended the Camberwell Art School and joined a design studio in Convent Garden. Moving to Bristol, some years later, she worked full time for the Local Education Authority supporting children suffering from emotional and behavioural problems whilst ensuring that the transition into a mainstream school was done in a supportive and nurturing manner. Whilst providing children with a safe haven for learning, she raised two sons as a single parent while studying for a degree in education at the University of the West of England.
Her love of fiction started at the age of six when Elizabeth’s grandmother died of cancer and to ensure that the rest of the family was safe, she would spend the nights roaming the house looking for the ”C” monster to make sure that he did not claim any more victims.
One sunny bright day, her sister told her that fork lightning would come and strike her down after which she would spend her days hiding in the garage and when she heard that the sun was falling out of the sky, well needless to say, she very seldom ventured out.
With trial and error, Elizabeth soon realised to fight her foes, she had to stare them straight in the eye, explore them and conqueror the inner demons in order to stand righteous. This helps fuel her love of horror and the many mysteries of the world. Creating a why and what if scenario that runs prominent in her fascinating fiction.
Throughout Elizabeth’s life, creative arts have been her passion whether it is visiting galleries, painting or writing. She enjoys nothing more than sharing a compelling horror story with others and holding the sanity of her readers in the palm of her hand.

Great ghost story.
Lucy and her daughter Bella inherit the Jack Rabbit Inn and leave the city to live in the wilderness of the moors.
A host of characters fill this book and the storyline is gripping.
Past and present merge and a portal lies in a fireplace... that must never be allowed to go out.
The Inn was built on a crossing of ley lines, allowing an eternal portal to be open.
The Inn is haunted. The village people strange. The ghosts oh so memorable!
By accident I read this book out of sequence to the series. It made no difference and can easily be read as a stand-alone, however, there is a cliff hanger ending so like me you will probably want the next book asap!

Lucy and Bella finally get a sanctuary from all the previous chaos at least that’s what she thinks when she moved into a pub called the Jack rabbit in. Sadly there is more craziness in store oh friends new ghosts in a big problem in the hearth. It doesn’t just keep Lucy’s new in warm it’s also a portal for more craziness. Will Lucy and Bella ever get to live without the ghosts and all the things that want to harm them. I have read every book in this series and this one ended in a way that makes me think that will be a book 8 and I can’t wait. E M G Wicksley is my favorite science fiction paranormal writer. She has the most awesome way of wording things that keeps it interesting and sometimes it’s just plain profound and makes you think. I love her books I love this one and will love the next one! This author is a hidden gem and one I feel so blessed to be able to treasure, but I am fan Girling so I will stop I highly recommend this book go read it it’s awesome!

This book can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading previous books first - there are pop up characters from them and it makes things a smidge more enjoyable knowing them already.
Great writing as always. I absolutely love this quote!
"Heathens Wear many masks. They allow the sharp details they want you to see to stand out and permit the rest to fade from your eyes."
