Andrea Perron

Author "House of Darkness House of Light" A true story. This collective memoir chronicles the events which occurred between 1970-1980 in an ancient farmhouse in Harrisville, R.I. Volume One draws the reader into the family dynamic, there to dwell with them as they discover the multiple spirits who are sharing space and time with seven mere mortals stunned by the sight. This is a trilogy whose time has come. The world is finally ready for the message it will receive within these pages, described in the media as INTENSE, DISTURBING, RELEVANT. I am the eldest of the five daughters born to Roger & Carolyn Perron. After 30 years the time has come to tell the truth."

Beatrice Colin

I'm a novelist/radio dramatist. I've written seven novels (two for children) and numerous plays for BBC Radio 4.

My last novel, To Capture What We Cannot Keep was published in late 2016/early 2017.

I am inspired by new places and old books, snatches of conversation and boards on Pinterest (seed catalogues from the 19th century!) I am a list-maker, a grower, on a good year, of fruit and vegetables, a walker of old paths and a mother of teenagers.

Writing novels helps me to discover something new - about the world, about history, about myself.
