Retired publisher and author of 'The Moon Dancers', a series of swashbuckling historical novels full of bodice-ripping pleasures, murder, intrigue and a dash of the briny deep - a bit like Hornblower but with a lot more spice!

And thatโs not to mention the ghoulish calcรฉophile and the Demon King himself. So, settle yourself down in your favourite chair and prepare for a bumpy ride!

Some say spirits are strongest in October. Others know better. Hot air bends the veil. Old inns, dusty fields, and Civil War battle sites rumble louder in heatwaves. Hauntings rise like mirages. #FolkyFriday
