Cette autrice explore comment l'écriture peut transporter les lecteurs dans d'autres mondes, les libérant des soucis quotidiens. Ses études universitaires lui ont permis de réfléchir profondément aux mécanismes du roman et à des théories littéraires comme le principe de l'iceberg de Hemingway. Fascinée par l'histoire, son œuvre intègre souvent des éléments paranormaux, permettant au passé de résonner de manière choquante et convaincante dans le présent. Tout en reconnaissant les déceptions potentielles, l'autrice assume pleinement la responsabilité de son travail, qu'il soit couronné de succès ou non.
An unexpected lunar eclipse. A poisonous fog. Statues that weep blood. History professor Juliet Harrington is convinced that the plague of disasters crippling the capital is caused by the Almanac of Forbidden Wisdom, a potent 16th century spell-book. Juliet fears that someone reckless is using the book - and she has little time left to stop them.
Martin Stride is a retired rock star, enjoying the quiet life with his young family on their beautiful estate. On the edge of his grounds lies a derelict Edwardian railway station waiting room once used to transport troops in The Great War. Silent for many years, it has become a playground for Martin's children but now they won't go near it. Strange occurrences in the waiting room lead Martin to seek the help of TV's favourite ghost-hunter Julian Creed. But Creed's psychic ability is a fabrication to gain viewers. He doesn't believe in the paranormal. Until he spends a night in The Waiting Room.
