Summary

Moxie has a lot on her plate, caring for her little brother, Ryan, and sick mother, all in a town which the world has more or less abandoned. But life seems to take a turn for the better when a piebald horse and Dylan, Moxie’s long lost Dad, turn up out of the blue. But Dylan brings trouble to Moxie’s door in the shape of drug lord Sunny Spells; Moxie must get out of town to keep Ryan safe and the piebald turns out to be more help than Moxie could ever have imagined.

    Sean is twenty-five and the love of Julie's life. The only problem is, he thinks he's in love with someone else. 
     
     
     
    And Julie Tudor is definitely, definitely not a serial killer. 
     
     
     
    But Julie has found herself in a similar situation before. And if there's one thing Julie knows, it's how to get rid of the competition . . . 
     
     
     
    After all, what's a little murder in the name of true love?

    Montague Rhodes James is cited as perhaps the greatest English writer of ghost stories, an opinion few would disagree with. 
    James was born on 1st August 1862 at Goodnestone Parsonage in Kent, where his father was Curate but at age 3 the family went to live at Livermere, near Bury St Edmunds in East Anglia.  
    From early childhood he had a passion for mediaeval books and antiques. He was educated initially as a boarder at Temple Grove School in East Sheen, west London, before gaining a scholarship to Eton and thence Cambridge where he gained a double first, becoming a distinguished linguist and mediaevalist.  
    Before the Great War vacations were usually spent touring Europe absorbing cultures and references for his later writing. 
    A man of enormous knowledge it was said he timed his breakfast egg whilst he completed the Times crossword.  
    Many of his elegant yet terrifying tales were created by discarding the prevailing gothic cliches and placing his characters and narrative in a realistic setting.  Thereby the stories gained atmosphere and menace on a grand scale and he was famed as the originator of the antiquarian ghost story. 
    Although story-telling and writing these 30 or so tales was a hobby, when published their effect transformed the genre and still chill the bones in our more modern times. 
    James was also a medievalist scholar and translator whose work remains highly respected. He was also Provost of Eton College between 1918 and 1936. 
    M R James died on 12th June 1936 at Eton in Buckinghamshire.  He was 73.
