Raven of Root & Thorn

A Gothic Tale of Roots, Ravens and Ancient Curses

Deep runs the blood of Midwinter’s vine,
Bound to the earth by thorn and twine.

Amidst the roots and thorns of her ancestral home, Ivy Midwinter is bound by a curse that has trapped her bloodline for generations. The brambles claw at her path, and a Raven watches over her, a harbinger of truths Ivy cannot yet understand.

The land is alive, pulsing with an ancient hunger, its roots reaching for the heart of her past. It calls to her with a voice as old as time, luring her into a pact sealed in blood and bone, an oath her family could never break.

Raven of Root and Thorn is a haunting tale of ancestral ties, the pull of a restless curse, and the price of freedom. In this remote and unyielding corner of the countryside, Ivy must face the truth: some bonds are eternal, and some fates can only be embraced. To escape, she may have to surrender.

Mr Stoker and I

A Gothic Tale of Whitby, Fate and Forgotten Stories

The past is never truly gone. In Whitby, it waits to be found.

My name is Miss Lucy. Let me tell you my story. It is a tale of a father’s despair, one man’s ambition, in a place where morality and mortality waver.

It was the Summer of 1890 when theatre manager and writer Bram Stoker arrived in Whitby. After an arduous theatre tour, his stay was respite before returning to London. However, what he discovered enthralled and beguiled.

Mr Stoker and I met each dawn on the East Cliff in the shadow of Whitby Abbey. On a bench overlooking the sea, Bram soon became the confidant I had yearned for. So, in faith, I shared the events that tormented my youth and left me haunted.

And after that chance encounter, I will forever live within the pages of what became Bram Stoker’s masterpiece, for it was my story that inspired Dracula.

PRIORY

Book 1

Memories are like ghosts. They linger in doorways, whisper with the howling wind when lightning strikes. They are the dark phantoms of my youth. My mind buried my memories for good reason, and I spent forty years believing I could escape them.

Until with one phone call, I found myself in my childhood home: Hardacre Priory.

I knew from the first step through the door that it was all over. The forgotten events of 1979 leapt to the surface and screamed their truths. Everything I thought to be true was a lie.

Entering those halls was an open invitation… Not for me, but for every ill wish, vengeful thought, and dark deed that ever existed.

LORE

Book 2

Death is not an ending…

I faced the truth of my family history and my childhood trauma. But adjusting to this new reality meant writing the book I had done my best to avoid.

Once finished, I sat absorbed in the last line: Death is not an ending. This is certainly true with my ancestry. In death, all Hardacres return to the Priory. However, I awoke to a solitary existence.

Then Josie Scarfe arrived at the door, wanting answers. We were never friends as children, but now I cannot ignore our connection.

Returning the holy relic may have banished the evil, yet we have only just begun to unravel the ancient lore at the foundations of Hardacre Priory.
