Tombstoning: And other supernatural tales

When Sasha and Becca meet for the tenth anniversary of their high school prom, they are unaware that it will be their last reunion. An evening that should have been spent in reminiscing and chatting about memories of school, takes a darker turn. Long suppressed feelings resurface, with unexpected results. Only one of them survives. Tombstoning is the first of a collection of eleven short stories that feature either ghosts or something equally inexplicable and otherworldly. Nothing is ever quite as simple and straightforward as it seems.

Her first book, "McArthur's County House Hotel," was published on Amazon in 2014 and her second, "The Stuffed Giraffe's Head" followed in March 2015.

It has been included in their anthology, "Write Across Sussex" which is available on Amazon.She is currently working on a third novel and also jointly writing a series of short stories with a friend. Her other interests include photography, cooking and knitting.
