International interest

It's refreshing to see that Phantasms in the Infirmary is getting a lot of sense in France.
Is it because of the subject matter?
Is it because the short stories are easy to follow if English is not the main language?
Is it something else?

I would be interested to know,  please share the reason why

In the meantime... Bon chance et Merci 😉

Short stories - Ghosts not Gore

Horror:
Horror unfortunately is synonymous with  themes based on grisly, gruesome, violent, bloodthirsty, bloody and brutal acts.

The films such as the Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Friday 13th and Saw have given the ghost stories a bad name.

Phantasms in the infirmary is far from this.
It is horror but without the severing of heads or pools of blood. It is representative of the good old fashioned ghost stories. Things that go bump in the night, stories to make you think and not cringe!

It is a book that is meant to give you goosebumps but in a nice way, without the bloody violence associated with the genre. There are ghosts and specters but not violence for the shock value of it.

Please give this book a try as I fear it may be misrepresented by the genre.

Short stories ...

Phantasms in the infirmary
Short stories provide somebody with a condensed tale that offers the reader a temporary escape from reality and use their imagination with the prompt from the text.
Phantasms in the infirmary does exactly this but with a twist of horror and a dash of spectral ghoulishness.

The collected stories provide a range of eras, situations and victims as well as the ghostly apparitions perpetrating the spooky encounters.

It is soon going to be available for purchase on the Amazon websites. It will be in kindle format and paperback

The countdown starts soon, in time for Halloween....

More writing

Being a part time author can be difficult.
After a long day in the NHS it can be difficult to get motivated to write.
The enjoyment of it allows some focus to return.
Putting my imagination into gear is not a problem though,  ideas for developing the story or stories in this case is wildly exhilarating.
Phantasms in the Infirmary is a collection of short stories based on 32 years in healthcare.
Ghostly Nuns,  asylum tales and others are written...  9 tales so far,  they are spooky too.
At times I have to check there isn't something sinister looking over my shoulder!!!
I think it is brilliantly different and with any luck,  there's loads of material for volume 2.
Just waiting for the literary agents decision on this and then full steam ahead.  I hope to have this available in October...  Fingers crossed.

Book 4... Developing nicely

Day off work and I have been working hard writing book number 4.
Can't reveal too much but I am quite excited about the way it is developing.
It's a collection of short stories...  With a homely theme to them.
I hope to have it all complete by October.
Cover concept out to the designer already...  I feel this keeps me focused seeing the end product before its complete...  Just my way of working.
