Dance With the Dead (Gwen’s Ghosts Book 1) (affiliate link)
From the time I was eight years old, I could see ghosts.
One ghost in particular occupied most of my attention: Petra Shearwater.
That was mostly because Petra decided to become my forever tagalong, traveling with me from the small, English country town of Morley-on-Avon, where she’d died, to the bustling cosmopolitan city of The Big Apple.
Now, thirty-four years later, as a mystery novelist just out of a lackluster fifteen-year relationship, I’m in need of a new start and some inspiration for a new book.
So, I find myself setting off for the one town that captured my interest all those years ago: Morley-on-Avon.
