My journey as a writer began years ago, kindled by an early fascination with English literature and language, a passion ignited during my GCSE studies. It was the timeless narrative of 'Of Mice and Men' that first captured my imagination, leading me down a path forever intertwined with storytelling.
As life unfolded, I explored various passions and embraced the responsibilities of adulthood. I navigated through life's complexities, finding joy and fulfilment in raising two wonderful sons. Now, as they step into their journeys, I've been graced with the opportunity to revisit my first love: writing.
My ambition is to craft immersive worlds that readers can lose themselves in, worlds where the lines between the supernatural, crime thrillers, and horror blur into an irresistible tapestry of intrigue and character-driven narratives. "Secrets in the Bones," my fourth novel, marks a significant milestone in my writing career. It represents not just another story but a venture outside my comfort zone, being the first work I've presented to agents and publishers.
With a treasure trove of stories waiting to be told, my journey as an author is far from over. I am currently immersed in writing "The Cursed Knights - the Book of the Dead," a foray deeper into the horror genre. Each new story is an adventure, an opportunity to explore the uncharted realms of imagination, and a chance to connect with readers who share my love for the mysterious and the macabre.

The Living Dead Trilogy
|
Gerald Ackerman is devastated by the loss of his wife and father six months apart. The details don't add up, and Gerald is racing down the rabbit hole to find the truth. What he discovers is far worse, and it changes everything he knows to be true. Gerald is on a journey filled with more bloodshed, in the hope he finally uncovers who he really is and what he's meant for. A harrowing tale in this gripping psychological gothic horror. Haunted by the 'Crooked Man' and what's on the other side of the veil—the world other mundanes are oblivious to—the horrors in the darkness that lead to the gates of hell and a hidden evil sect within the templar knights.
**Without a doubt, one of the best things I've ever read. I really liked the mix of humour, shock and terror.**
**Wow, simply wow. I loved every page, every paragraph and perfect writing. English is not my first language, and I understood it perfectly.**
**I love horror. And I liked the way I could feel it, also the character's disturbance and I love the part about visions, very interesting detail.**
**Damn its so descriptive, it's unsettling in a good way. First person POV and the way it's written, makes the reader feel like they're there seeing and feeling everything.**
"Demons are real, and they want your soul."
Gerald Ackerman has always seen the world differently. In the creepy village of Willowbrook, 'mundanes' become grotesque, decaying visages and ghostly remnants replay their final, harrowing moments. But nothing prepares him for the Crooked Man.
With eyes that pierce the night in garish red vibrancy, the Crooked Man's presence is unmistakable and terrifying. Clad in a bloodstained trilby, splattered from previous victims, he embodies Gerald's deepest fears.
Struggling to distinguish reality from hallucination, Gerald grapples with the psychological toll of his visions. The line between nightmare and reality blurs as he uncovers a horrifying truth—his bloodline is cursed, linked to a centuries-old evil rooted in a deviant sect of the Knights Templar.
Desperate for answers, Gerald enlists the help of his best friend Nathan and two supernatural detectives—George Reynolds, a werewolf, and DS Michael Dalton, a Kitsune. Together, they investigate a string of sadistic murders plaguing the village, racing against time to unlock the mysteries of Pandora's Box and prevent the gates of hell from erupting.
The stakes escalate when Nathan is infected by the sword of an evil Templar Knight, laced with a deadly toxin that not even Detective Reynolds can heal. Nathan has only 24 hours to live—the same Gerald has to stop the impending apocalypse. Battling dark and dangerous obstacles, they must navigate the 'undead', woken to roam the streets, causing chaos and spreading fear like wildfire.
Haunted by cryptic messages from his deceased father, Gerald must decipher these clues to save his family and his sanity. In this spine-chilling tale of supernatural suspense, Gerald faces the ultimate battle: to confront the harrowing truth of his lineage or succumb to the evil, wailing whispers, "Why don't you let me in? Just let me in, and the pain will end," says the Crooked Man, a torment that threatens to consume his soul.
Discover a gripping and unsettling tale of Gerald Ackerman in an atmosphere thick with dread, where the line between the living and the dead blurs, and every shadow hides a sinister secret. Dive into a world where horror lurks at every corner, and the fight for survival is a battle against time and darkness. Gerald's psychological turmoil is palpable, and the supernatural is haunting. This blend of psychological and supernatural horror, set against a rich, gothic backdrop, promises to intrigue and unsettle you.
