To set the stage and get the inspiration for the creepy and jump-scare scenes, I often put on headphones & music - good example is the beginning section of Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield. #HorrorCommunity #horrorbooks #authorsoftwitter

@hertsbookfest Am so delighted, and feel very lucky to be invited to the Herts Book Festival as one of the authors, especially as I've only been a professional author for just over a year! Thank you HBF! Can't wait!

That was a lovely lady I just interviewed, who lives over in Carmarthen, about a house she used to live in which was haunted. I get to talk to the nicest people sometimes doing this research! #amwriting #paranormal #ghosts

Makes me think, is how all these possessions and/photos/ornaments don't seem to have meaning anymore, their owners now dead. who have now passed away - do you have a different take: let me know in the comments below guys. Copyright Adam Mark. His channel https://t.co/kiAF4X7Hou

You can do whatever the hell you want, but when it comes to writing, I strongly recommend going with the stuff that moves you. Write what you want to read. Don’t pursue trends. Don’t write what you think agents and editors want. Write what makes you happy. Always.
