about this book: This book is a collection of short stories. Some of them are paranormal in nature and others have a criminal or supernatural element to them. Readers of this book had told me that they enjoyed the stories, as they are all very different.

This book is suitable for adult and young people from teenage upwards.

I wrote these stories and entered them for short story competitions. Many of them were finalists or shortlisted in the competitions. The money for the proceeds of this book will help to pay for life saving treatment for a young man suffering from bone cancer:

This campaign was the reason why I published this book.

I chose the title because all of the stories have a supernatural element. I designed the cover myself.

I got my idea for the story The Witch Hunter, after reading about historical events in Norwich. Unfortunate victims, who had been accused of witchcraft, were ducked in the river near the Fye Bridge and some were burnt in a pit near the pub called the Lollard's Pit.The historical detail inspired my story. Similarly I once lived in Derbyshire, in a winding road with a quarry on it. That fact and a nightmare I experienced, inspired my story, Don't wait Up for Me.

I hope that readers feel free to contact me on social media about my book and to share spooky experiences of their own. I am thinking of starting a blog about supernatural experiences.
