About the Author

I'm an independent fiction writer born and raised in Derbyshire in the U.K. I still live there with my wife, son and gentle, yet simple minded, retired greyhound. My love for books came at a very early age and has never ceased. Writing was a later development, although not by much. My first memory of writing stories was on an old typewriter with half of the keys missing. Apart from writing and reading, I enjoy sports, particularly cricket. I've never given up on the hope that one day I'll get a call from the English chairman of selectors. "Dave, we've got a problem. Can you get down to Lords and open the batting?" "I'll just finish writing this chapter, then I'll be there." I'd love to hear from you about anything, so follow the link at the end of the book and send me a message.

About the Author

David Haynes has been making up stories since he was very young. His first story entitled, "How the Greenhouse Actually Got Smashed, Dad!" got him into trouble and went unpublished. Nevertheless, the stories continued and the desire to write them down grew stronger. David now writes stories in the genre he loves the most - the dark, mysterious and delicious world of horror! The two main influences on his writing are Stephen King and Edgar Allan Poe who he considers masters of the shadowy world. So far he has written a collection of sinister stories set on the dark streets of Victorian London and in the gloriously opulent Paris of the nineteenth century. He has also written contemporary horror novels which he hopes will scare and excite! Both represent his love for the rich horror genre. One day he hopes to be able to write full-time in order to get all those stories out of his own mind and into the minds of others. The question is - dare you read anymore? http://davidhaynesfiction.weebly.com/
