About
Thanks for visiting my author website and blogspot. It's been a busy few months since my book for older children and young teens was published and I'm going to update news and social media posts on my 'About' page from time to time.
My stories tend to have an element of truth to them, and "PJ and the Paranormal Pursuers - The Mackenzie Poltergeist" is about ghostly phenomena found at the Black Mausoleum at the Covenanters' Prison in Greyfriars Kirkyard, Edinburgh. Just recently, I interviewed the manager, Jamie Corstorphine, of City of the Dead Tours, who explained some of the background to the scary Poltergeist who reputedly attacks his victims when visiting the kirkyard. Here is the link to the article, which appeared in the Edinburgh Reporter, recently:

For those of you who may be Outlander and Men in Kilts fans, there's an interesting twist to the tale, so read to the end! I'm going to be busy uploading news over the next few days, so keep a lookout for changes to the website.
