The Writer's Blog

Halloween is a great time to write horror
​My love of the scary comes from Mom who delighted in ghastly things: books, movies, and, in the 'old days' (by this I mean 1960s!), gathering around the radio to listen to that classic series The Uninvited. 
Each episode began with the words that made my spine tingle: 'Have you heard them? Those fearful sounds in the dead of night? The muffled creak of a loosened board? The shuffling step of a ghostly figure? The eerie voice of The Uninvited?' 
Man, let me tell you, I still recall listening to that intro and the 30-minute ghost story. I was too scared to venture down the hall to my bedroom afterwards.

Ghostwriter

Need someone to write for you? Blog?
Life story? Memoir? ​I can help. 

"When I first heard of the concept of a ghost writer, I thought it was going to be a very scary experience.  ... working with Jane was anything but scary and completely delightful instead. People who know me and have read the book can see all my 'graemeisms' and can’t detect anything else.  That’s the brilliance of a true ghostwriter."
Graeme Axford, author Differently Abled
