  Major Hesketh Vernon Prichard, DSO MC FRGS FZS was born on the 17th November 1876 in Jhansi, North-Western Provinces, India, then part of the British Empire. 
   
  His achievements in life, beyond his literary career, are both voluminous and startling. 
   
  He was an explorer, adventurer, marksman, game hunter and first-class cricketer.  In his literary career he wrote short stories, novels, travel pieces and was also a newspaper correspondent. 
   
  His father died a few weeks before his birth and his mother, Kate, with whom he co-authored much of his literary output raised him herself.  They returned to England where he was educated and excelled at cricket.  After school he trained to be a lawyer but never practiced.  At 19 he was publishing the first of his stories.   
   
  Over the following years he was commissioned to write many pieces as he explored and journeyed around the world including to Haiti, Labrador and Patagonia, where little was known and he thought it his duty to investigate and inform others of his findings.  On some of these his mother also travelled with him as they continued their literary journey. 
   
  He managed to become part of the Great War effort at 37, although was considered too old for front line duty.  Instead he turned his skills to helping establish an Army school of Snipers to mitigate and improve the skills of British snipers and their then appalling losses.  In this he was eventually successful and is credited with the saving of thousands of lives. 
   
  Hesketh Prichard died from sepsis on the 14th June 1922, at Old Gorhambury House, in Hertfordshire, England.  He was 45. 
   
  His mother, Kate, survived him and died in 1935.

  Step into a world where the line between love and loss shimmers like morning mist.

As she unravels the mystery of this spectral muse, she discovers unexpected paths to healing, creativity, and self-renewal.
   
  Part ghost story, part emotional journey, this audiobook weaves atmospheric narration with evocative soundscapes: the hush of crashing waves, distant church bells, and the soft rustle of wind through coastal pines. Each chapter draws you deeper into the artist’s inner landscape, where grief transforms into inspiration, and solitude becomes the canvas for hope.

  At just fifteen years old, Veronica Fancourt is already turning heads with her compelling stories, inspired by her vivid dreams. Her latest publication is a gripping tale of heists and cathedrals, entitled “The Countess’s Keep.” It’s captured the imagination of everyone who chances to read it, including someone for whom it is no mere fantasy.

She finds herself tied up in a dark warehouse as bait for a sister she insists she doesn’t have. 
  The Duchess, savoring her successful spring, finds herself beset by twin threats to her empire, neither of which she can conquer alone. Her precarious position reawakens the darker impulses she’s worked tirelessly to deny. Can she call upon her friends—her only family—to assist her, or will her obsessions drive them out of her life forever? 
  And why is there another voice in her head? 
  The Duchess and the Indigo Child is the second installment in the Her Violet Empire series from author Scott A. Clark. This colorful new chapter of the series explores love under pressure, debts of family long forgotten, and coffee…lots of coffee.

  Disturbing. Original. Terrifying. The 'master of horror' is back with the chilling tale of what lurks in the walls of an abandoned hospital. 
   
  In this abandoned hospital, pain lives on... and it wants revenge. 
   
  St Philomena's military hospital has been abandoned for over three years. Now Lilian Chesterfield, who works for one of the most successful building companies in England, is in charge of developing it into a luxury housing complex. 
   
  But as soon as she and her colleagues start work in the Jacobean-style mansion, their dream turns into a nightmare. They hear screaming from wards full of empty beds. They hear doors slamming and find cutlery scattered over the kitchen floor. Then they see faces peering at them from the mullioned windows. 
   
  Lilian is pragmatic – she doesn't believe in the supernatural. But just when she's put her mind at rest by scouring the mansion from top to bottom and finding nothing, a former patient of St Philomena's arrives with a warning. The hospital is haunted. And it is haunted by something a thousand times more terrifying than ghosts...
