A freelance writer, editor, photographer and history nut, my love for old architecture and intense yearning to actually  encounter a ghost, fuels what my kids call 'mummsy's evil - yet fabulous - imagination'. I can't take the credit though, it comes from being weaned on Agatha Christie and creeped out of sleep by Stephen King. To them, and my beloved mister, I give a writer's inky 'thumbs-up' of thanks.
