Brrrrrilliant 🥶

I loved reading All The White Spaces by author Ally Wilkes.

A ghost story set at the South Pole in the 1920s, plus a wonderful coming-of-age story too.

A chilling (and chilly) debut ❄️

It's all about to kick off at the @GhostStoryFest with "How to get published in horror (no promises)" by yours truly in the Italian Mill! Gorgeous venue, come and watch me attempt to do a slideshow without crying
