About the Author

Rebecca Guy was first introduced to all things paranormal at the tender age of nine when she received Hans Holzer's Ghosts - True Encounters with the World Beyond from Father Christmas. She tortured herself with the stories late into every night, after which she was too terrified to sleep. Thanks Santa. The trauma started a love affair with all things horror and supernatural and she now likes to write her own novels to torture herself and others with until they can't sleep. After all, sharing is caring. Rebecca was born and raised in Staffordshire, UK, and still lives there with her three children and a barmy Beagle called Rosie. Ruin is her first novel. It still keeps her awake - and she knows how it ends.
