The Vampire Snail Trails

By Sylvia Crook

This is the first book set around a family of snails who live in an old watering can, in a weedy garden, next door to a lovingly tended flower garden owned by Mr. Green. They earn the ‘Vampire’ title from Mr. Green because they come out at night and destroy his lovely flowers. These snails have learned how to avoid the gardener’s traps and poisons but the adventure begins when a young snail leaves home without his parents and a rescue mission is executed in order to save him before it's too late.

Sylvia Crook

My name is Sylvia Crook and I'm incredibly happily married to Martin. We have enjoyed a 28 year love affair and I'm the mother of four children, I've spent much of my life bringing up our two girls and two boys as a full time mother. Once they all became reasonably self sufficient (I know, they never are!) I wrote a children's story which I was in the process of trying to get published when I developed thyroid cancer in 2001. After my recovery I decided a fresh start was needed so I embarked upon a City & Guilds floristry course at the age of 47. I went on to open a florist shop specialising in weddings, with a business partner, which was enjoyable and rewarding but I always wanted to return to my first love; writing. After losing my mother I decided it was time to take time out and fell back into writing as a form of solace. 'Attached' was inspired after spending a night in The Bailhouse; a boutique hotel in the historic city of Lincoln. I hope you enjoy my story.
