@TrickyDicky1989 @bushontheradio They've managed to unearth this from the BBC archives - it's a piece about some stone heads and the werewolf is still as terrifying as it was then

@Helen_Fields Bizarre, isn’t it? The same happened with my books - just the one 1* review.

@ScarredForLife2 If Willy didn't have a spinal injury from the car accident he's certainly got one now

I love a spooky story, and local author G R Pidgeon is talking about his ghost story at #Oxted Library on Thursday.
Who’s coming with me to support this local library/author event?

@EE Thank you - we are trying this 🤞

[Ruth D'Alessandro @RuthDAlesWrites]

@EE Is there a problem in the Hammersmith Hospital area? My daughter is trying to work and her phone has no signal. She’s on our family plan and we all have signal but she doesn’t?

[Ruth D'Alessandro @RuthDAlesWrites]
