Did anyone else have this book growing up? I got it one Xmas & was obsessed. I’m sure it’s still buried somewhere in the attic, though I couldn’t find it last time I looked. Kids (or at least, this kid 😂) have such a weird fascination with the morbid & grotesque. Some of the images still haunt me...

Book cover. A young jackdaw on a dark, misty background with red fly agaric mushrooms to the foreground, surrounded by book themes/vibes. The Haunting of Wounded Birds by Beverley Lee.

💫Four days until The Haunting of Wounded Birds takes flight!
💫4 days until you meet Jackdaw
💫4 days until the crows gather
💫4 days until the haunted past bleeds into the present
💫4 days until Martinmas...old Halloween

My new Christmas ghost story The Old Man of the Black is shaping up nicely & I’m aiming to publish it by the end of next week, likely Friday. Early readers who love ghost stories & mysteries are calling it “the best” & “scariest” of my books so far so I can't wait to share this one with you!

A few autumnal pics from the Surrey Hills 🍂

Happy Halloween! My film recommendation for tonight is Late Night with the Devil - I only got to watch the first half last night but can't wait to finish it later. Totally original, properly creepy...😱

What are you watching tonight?

Take a walk around Ightham Mote, the ancient Kent manor that inspired Bramley in The Boy in the Burgundy Hood. Notice the scratched symbols above a fireplace, intended to ward off witches? And, in the Butler's Pantry, a glimpse of the ghostly boy himself 👻
Now just 99p/99c, perfect for Halloween! 🎃

Looking for the perfect Halloween read? Step into the wintry streets of London with The Woman in the Widow’s Lace, the latest standalone in The Ghosts of Alice series:
“An almost Sherlock Holmes atmosphere despite being set in current times”
“The ghost was really scary”
“Perfect for Halloween!”🎃

Last night's watch (I know, I'm always late to the party... 😉)

In 3 words? Sumptuous Gothic Masterpiece
