Nottingham will always be my home. I adore its history, vibrancy and (of course) I am a Nottingham Forest fan. My family and some of my closest friends are based there. I have fond memories of exploring the shire with friends, family and my four legged companion, Duke.

L.G. Cunningham
LG Cunningham loves to write scary, spine-chilling, monster filled, ‘my-child-is-not-able-to-sleep’ stories. This term of endearment could be as a result of growing up in an Irish town filled with ghosts, being able to communicate with (and actually see) the dead or more than likely because his family used to rent him horror movies (pre-Netflix and pre-DVDs) when he was very little which had the affect of twisting his brain to the extent that he was - and still is - afraid of his own shadow.
