My latest book on the paranormal chronicles the highlights of those occasions when something 'other worldly' really did manifest itself whilst 'Ghost Hunting in the Black Country and Beyond'.

A different kind of history book just launched, covering the whole County of West Midlands.

My new book, 'A Question of West Midlands History Compendium Edition' features over 500 questions and is an engaging way to challenge your West Midlands knowledge.

@Enderfay That's so old Nick I don't even remember it!! Thanks for finding and posting though!

[Andrew Homer @ghost_author]

@Enderfay It was a series the Express and Star did Nick. I don't have all of them - are they online then somewhere?

@Enderfay @ThePlummyBrummy 'Hangs head in shame!' I'm enjoying volunteering for a couple of nice National Trust properties. Not sure what, if anything, will follow the Brum book. Maybe 12 books is enough to inflict on anyone!!!

@Enderfay @ThePlummyBrummy All fine thanks Nick - hope you are all ok. I'm finishing off a book based on Birmingham. Not ghosts though. Probably the last 'local' book as 4 hours away now! Just using up the last of my research and pics. I'm sure I'll be boring everyone on social media again when it's done!!

@Enderfay @ThePlummyBrummy Apparently, he always used to arrive early for work to prepare the day’s lessons.

This version is in 'Black Country Ghosts and Hauntings' but there is more on Dudley College in 'Ghost Hunting in the Black Country and beyond'. Blatant plugs there!!

@Enderfay @ThePlummyBrummy On checking the room there was nobody there and nowhere the man could have gone.” The room in question was used to teach mine engineering up until the early 1960s and the long dead mining lecturer, Sam Thompson, matches the description of the phantom figure with the briefcase.

Tremendous news about the rebuilding of the iconic Crooked House. My Blackcountryman magazine article, 'There was a Crooked House' is now freely available. It contains lots of fascinating information about the Crooked House that you won't find elsewhere!

A bit early to be buying Christmas presents or is that just me? Either that or people have a lot of birthdays in November! My quiz and history book 'A Question of the Black Country' has become Amazon's #2 Most Gifted in History of the Industrial Revolution.

There has been such a lot written about the Crooked House but not so much about the legends and hauntings in and around the former pub. As part of the Spooky Isles seasonal offering have a read of my latest article:
