About this author

This book was inspired by my own experiences in a remote little cottage near Stonehenge. A chilling tale of love, passion, sorcery and sacrifice; laced with mystery and tied with humor...I live in western Canada but I grew up in England; in a coal mining village, my husband calls, "The place that time forgot." Go to my website and find out why.


I often get asked. “What inspired you to write this trilogy?”…
Every summer, when I was a child, we would visit my aunt and uncle at their quaint little cottage on Salisbury Plain. It was called Scotland Lodge and was situated not far from the historical Stonehenge. My uncle worked as a farm hand for the local squire. My aunt tended the manor house. It was there as I roamed free, deep within the... read more »

Emily returns to Merryweather Lodge for the holidays only to find out the spirit is not gone. When her best friend comes to visit all sorts of craziness starts to happen.
Why is Jonathan staying away? Will Emily ever make love to him? Who is the Malevolent Spirit and how are they going to get rid of it?

This book was spine chilling. It took me by surprise. I never knew which way I was heading. Just when I thought I had it figured out. Sharp turn into a spooky spirit or possessed being.
This is one Ill read again and again.


Brandy Merryweather Lodge is a spine tingling, bone chilling story that leaves you on the edge of your seat.

At the age of 14 Emily is excited to visit her Aunt and Uncle in the beautiful Stonehenge England. It is a magical, mystical place for her. She loves the meadows and she's some what of a tree hugger. But has been warned to stay out of the wooden lot. Which she doesn't. Some very wicked things have been happening around Merryweather Lodge where her family lives. She comes across an evil entity in the attic room where she is to stay. When she tells her mother and father they think she has gone crazy like her grandmother before her. Are they crazy or are the spirits real? Will she find the mystery behind the lodge and the wooded lot before it's too late? will she ever get to be the Jonathan who has caught her attention?

There is so much mystery to this story. It is thrilling, scary and intense. I love how descriptive Pauline's writing is. I feel like Im right there in the story and can see the beautiful countryside of the England hills.
