I have always enjoyed writing stories that are set in Victorian times because I think I have had some of the experiences of a child living in Victorian England. And of course my Grandmother and all older people I knew as a child had all been born in the reign of Queen Victoria, My most recent novel THE HIDDEN HAND is a thriller and a ghost story set in Victorian Sheffield. The first two novels I wrote, THE FEAR OF SAMUEL WALTON and THE LENGTHENING SHADOW were ghost stories set in the Derbyshire of Victorian times.

My father had been a gardener at Ashford Hall and at Castle Hill at Bakewell when it was a private mansion belonging to the Blake family. My Grandmother had left home at the age of 12 to become a kitchen maid in 1892 I heard lots of stories about being a servant in a big house and this gave me ideas for two of my early books THE DEVIL FINDS WORK and THEY WATCHED HIM DIE.
