Halloween Horrors and Wear'd Tales

There's a new book published today, Monday October 31st.  It's a book called Wear'd Tales and it's a collection of supernatural stories about Sunderland based on myths and tales from the past.

I have a short story included in this book. My story is based on the myth of The Ghostly Solider of Ryhope Village Green.  As I was born and bred and Ryhope this seemed the best tale for me to take and make a story out of.

You can buy it from Amazon here.
