Diese Autorin erforscht, wie Schreiben Leser in andere Welten transportieren und sie von alltäglichen Sorgen befreien kann. Während ihres Studiums hatte sie die Muße, sich intensiv mit der Romanmechanik und literarischen Theorien wie Hemingways Eisbergtheorie auseinanderzusetzen. Angetrieben von einer Faszination für Geschichte, integriert ihre Arbeit oft paranormale Elemente, die die Vergangenheit schockierend und überzeugend in der Gegenwart nachklingen lassen. Trotz möglicher Enttäuschungen übernimmt die Autorin die volle Verantwortung für ihre Werke, unabhängig von deren Erfolg.
An unexpected lunar eclipse. A poisonous fog. Statues that weep blood. History professor Juliet Harrington is convinced that the plague of disasters crippling the capital is caused by the Almanac of Forbidden Wisdom, a potent 16th century spell-book. Juliet fears that someone reckless is using the book - and she has little time left to stop them.
Martin Stride is a retired rock star, enjoying the quiet life with his young family on their beautiful estate. On the edge of his grounds lies a derelict Edwardian railway station waiting room once used to transport troops in The Great War. Silent for many years, it has become a playground for Martin's children but now they won't go near it. Strange occurrences in the waiting room lead Martin to seek the help of TV's favourite ghost-hunter Julian Creed. But Creed's psychic ability is a fabrication to gain viewers. He doesn't believe in the paranormal. Until he spends a night in The Waiting Room.
