The Discovery of a Good Luck Charm Brings More Than Luck

‘When Kali invites Leo to her remote cottage for some friendly company, she omits to mention one thing: the place is haunted.

Leo soon finds out for himself when he feels a presence. Kali admits the omission and persuades Leo to help investigate the hauntings.

But with Leo harbouring a secret of his own, what will be his fate when he finally realises what’s at the heart of the strange affair?’

Diary Dates

I am looking forward with nervous anticipation to the release date of 31 October. If the feedback is as positive as it has been for my first novel, Out of Humanity, then I’ll be very pleased and relieved. I write to be read but I also write to move the reader in a positive way. I try to weave a bit of magic into my stories and an element of the unexpected. If you like romantic mysteries then I hope you’ll love The Ironstone Bible.

I will be attending more fairs in the coming months with copies of both my novels on sale. I’ll be at Stapleford Library Christmas Fayre on the 14 December. It would be great to see you their. I’ve had bookmarks printed up as giveaways – see image.

A reminder I’ll be at Belper Book Fair on Sunday 15 September. Copies of my first novel Out of Humanity will be available at a discounted price.

My father Don Tuffs was also an Engineer turned writer and produced a number of non-fiction books. He published a definitive history of the village he grew up in entitled ‘There was a Green Hill: The History of Stillington from its Beginnings until 1950,’ available from amazon.co.uk. He also produced a follow-on ‘Stillington Sport 1909 to 2004’ and a memoir ‘Memories of my National Service.’ The latter two books will also be on sale.

It would be great to see you in Belper. In the meantime, here’s my bio I’ve prepared for the Fair.
