Background
Information
Raymond Walker is well known for his very unusual, almost homely, romantic fantasy tales such as "The River Girls Torment" and "A Shiver" as well as the award winning "Moonchild and Other Tales" which have been hugely successful. In 2005 he published his first Ghost Story "A Pale Shadow Creeps" which has a more adult theme and followed it up with the horror novel; "The Secret Inside" to great critical acclaim. His restlessly original and imaginative stories may be unusual and darkly romantic but he considers himself very ordinary. He loves the countryside, the forests and the relics of his native Scotland. He loves that he rose from a land steeped in history, myth and fantasy. It can be seen in almost every tale that he has ever told or written.
Raymond Walker is the winner of several writing competitions and his books have received critical acclaim worldwide. Mr Walker is devoting his time to a new epic novel called "And The Sea shall give up It's Dead" The first volume of which has the tentative title of "Over the Tears of the Fallen" In the meantime expect to hear shortly of the release of the "Truly chilling", "Winters Ghost" that seems to be a success even before being released, with advance orders pouring in.
