Who better to turn to for advice than the hugely successful writer, Adam Croft. It wasn’t always that way though and […]

I chose to read The Christmas Ghosts as a member of Rosie Amber’s Book Review Team and received a copy from the author but that has not affected the content of this review. Guardian – Henry is on his way to stay in a cottage with his fiancée, Billie, when he gets lost on Bodmin […]
