I am so pleased that The Mistletoe Haunting – Legend of Minster Lovell is gathering some excellent reviews. More delighted that the story has initiated such a response from readers – more than I could have hoped. The book is having a Christmas marketing campaign leading up to the holiday season. It has an obvious Christmas theme, so should go down well with readers who want a ghostly Christmas read!
I am currently working on a biography of Puccini – working title is Verisimo! Puccini, Elvira and Love – the book will be a companion to my new play Elvira & I – Puccini’s Scandalous Passions! that is currently in development for a future theatre production.
Also in second draft stage is a book about Blackpool’s lost pleasure gardens titled The Royal Palace Gardens at Raikes Hall. I am working with local historian Alan Seddon on this project and it should be available later in the year.
