Witches Blooding -2nd book of the Witches Copse Series is now available.
I've found the most interesting account of a community's response to a witch from 1828 Shrewsbury. It's intriguing, tragic, and an insight into the realities of life on the fringes of acceptability. I am hoping to have it added to my article on shropshire witches this week. Im excited to share it!

Thanks to everyone that came along to Tarvin Library last night, and to Helen, the lovely staff and the Curious Cat bookshop. It was a great night.
Some ghostly trees in Basingwerk Abbey this morning.
Watched these on BBC Four last night; I've seen them countless times, but watching amid the glow of the Christmas tree lights with a glass of port in hand made them all the more enjoyable.

Two landmarks near me: Basingwerk Abbey, founded c.1132, and Garreg Pharos, a Roman navigation marker restored in 1897 for Queen Victoria's Jubilee. I’ve explored these places since childhood. Consciously and subconsciously, such places shape my stories and themes. Which places shape yours?
