Most of my short stories are based on true stories connected to artefacts, both historical and modern, I have collected in the vaults of my home, CROWEFOOT’S LAIR. Many of these stories are Scottish themed but there are ghost stories from all over the world in this archive.

I have created two other ghost story archives. My journey across Australia collecting ghost stories turned into a horror story of its own and became the basis for my bestselling novel UNQUIET ISLAND. You can read some of those Australian ghost stories and sample chapters of Unquiet Island, here.

While collecting English ghost stories, I realized that the stories were not separate, but one horrifying tale spanning modern English history. This became my novel, THE SHADOW CENTURY. You read some samples of the classic English ghost stories that make up The Shadow Century, here.
