| I liked the structure of this memoir, which goes back and forth between the immediate aftermath of the death and a trip to Australia three years later. Deeply personal and a very nice tribute to Tony. | |

“I didn't avoid my problems. I just didn't feel as though I had to focus on them every minute of every day. And telling people about certain aspects of my life would only create trouble. If I was guilty of anything, it was of trying not to bring new problems into my life. That wasn't avoidance. That was logical thinking.”

hi mara, thanks for accepting my add! can't wait to read beyond the grave, as soon as it releases :)
Hi Mara! I just started and finished Past Midnight and Raising the Dead yesterday and can't wait to get my hands one One Hundred Candles! I've always been a bit fan of ghost stories, and I love what you've done so far! You must have done a ton of research :) can't wait for more!
-Kate
Thanks for accepting my friend request, Mara.
Hi- Just to let you know...Peter: a Darkened Fairytale
AVAILABLE TO ORDER NOW!!! DIRECT FROM THE PUBLISHER

Best wishes, William
I finished Past Midnight earlier today and loved it! Can't wait for the second installment. Alas, you have to be 18 to download Raising the Dead...4 months away doesn't count. But anyway, Past Midnight was great, and as someone who lives in Charleston, I would like to thank you for doing it right in your book. So cool to find a book with at least some of it set locally! Especially one with a good story. :)
Hi Mara - Thank you for your friendship. Please visit my website http://www.peteradarkenedfairytale.co.uk
to view a sample page and many other snippets about the book.
Expected release date mid-late Jan.
Best wishes, William
Hey Mara,Thanks for the friend request! I am so excited to read One Hundred Candles! I've read Past Midnight and I love it! :)
