Huge thanks to all who came out to my ‘Short History of Celebrity Seancés’ talk as part of the London Month of the Dead programme. It was such a joy to be invited to speak, and in Guy’s Hospital Chapel no less! Mulled punch and Elvis’ afterlife - can’t beat it! ✨

Enormous thanks to all who braved the weather to support 'Fantastic Folklore' at Lincoln Book Festival! It was such a joy to interview Fiona Robertson, Icy Sedgwick, and Richard Daniels and I left with a far greater appreciation of stones, gloves and vampire rabbits.

I'm terrible at updating things on here, but here's a nice bit of news. I won the award for Top Investigator at last week's GPN awards! I now I have this lovely ghosty chunk in my office, haunting my regional reference books and cheering me on.

"Black is the colour of us all, Miss. Black is the colour of life and death. Of the sky and shadows, of sadness and burial. Black is the colour of your eyes as you sleep. Believe me, Madam, black will be your colour."
My debut, 'Begotten, A Gothic Novel' releases next week.

As you enjoy your day of chocolate, eggs, worship, or a canned cocktail in the garden, spare a thought for Larry the pyromaniac poltergeist. Back in 1962, he was too busy terrorising a family in Peckham to indulge in any seasonal treats.🔥

Today’s spectral offering - The Tiswas Book of Ghastly Ghosts (1981). Whoever knew the Phantom Flan Flinger had literary aspirations…?

I'm delighted to be reuniting with Ian Lawman for his next case as The Yorkshire Exorcist.
If you saw the great first special, you'll know how intense this journey is going to be.
The Yorkshire Exorcist II is available to stream now on Discovery+

What's so weird about Lincolnshire? Well get your eyes around this beastie in the forthcoming issue of Haunted Mag. Kate Ray and I have teamed up to deliver a hefty guide to some of the county's strangest and most spectral residents!

In a dramatic turn of events that some have called ‘inevitable’ and ‘painfully clichéd’, I have, at last, been locked in a cemetery. 💀

Looking forward to pootling over the Humber to Brough this November for a day of talks at Parascension. Looks to be a nice, cosy one!

I'm excited to be speaking at PARA-CON Northwich next September! I'll be there with books, boos and bells on, and armed with a talk about something suitably ridiculous!
