INTRODUCTION

––––––––

I love a good story, doesn’t everyone? I have fond memories of sitting around camp fires and hearing a variety of stories from Welsh myth and legends, supernatural tales and ending on songs and rhymes. Stories are a bridge into the storyteller’s spirit. It is a step inside their brain. It is a connection to everyone who hears it’s telling.

I have written quite a few short stories ever since I first picked up a pencil many years ago and began writing about a magical zoo that talked about the visitors after the zoo had closed.

I guess I’m a typical Piscean! My imagination has no bounds and I believe in fully engaging all your gifts and embracing life. My life, as an author, is to write, to create and engage readers with themselves, their emotions and their own imagination. The following short stories are but a small connection into my world. My novels immerse you deeper into the paranormal and history combined.

The characters are a look at the novels from a different point of view. These are spin-offs if you will; a snippet of a story showing another perspective. A

tantalising view of their world, and all have reference to the story within the original novel.

I hope you find them intriguing, and that you contemplate buying the novel to fully understand their story.

Thank you for reading my work, and may I wish you every joy.

A LONELY INN

The inn was known to me. I had frequented this place many times growing up, either with family for Sunday meals, or later as a teenager, we’d hide in the corner with our cokes and lemonades, hoping the landlord wouldn’t notice. I had my first legal drink here. My older brothers sixteenth birthday was held here and my father’s retirement party. By the time I’d learned to drive aged twenty, it had closed. Now, I saw it rarely, but when my journey did pass by, I would send it a smile, if not a kiss, and quietly say how sorry I was that like many other old inns, it had closed due to lack of customers and higher rates.

I suppose the closure was inevitable. It squats in the corner of a secluded
