The Ghost of St. Mary's

About this ebook
This is a fictional tale based on some facts, the church, the grave mentioned and the area of rocks mentioned do exist.
This is a mystery I was not able to solve, there is little information on line and I am now unable to investigate at the source, since I am disabled.
This is my earliest ghost story and has always been well liked by readers.

I have wanted to be a writer since I learned to read. My reading ability was always at the top of the class and this developed into the talent for storytelling. In 2011 an injury to my left leg left me disabled and I finally got the opportunity to try to write. The first stories I had published were in a US available only anthology. The Ghost of St. Mary's and The Rocking Lantern were not only the first published, but the first I wrote. Later that year, I had Old Church Ghosts published on line in the UK. The original version is only availlable in the Special Edition version. I made my on line reputation for ghost stories, but I also write for the children's charity books by The Peacock Writers. In 2012, my book Chronicles of Mark Johnson won an award for excellence from the US on line magazine indiePENdents.org. Both this book, and its sequel Wharfemere Finale had rave reviews from New York reviewer, Fran Lewis. In recent times, my US hit series Forgestriker has sold over 350 e-books in the seven books series, and earned me a reputation for writing sci-fi in the USA.

I wish to thank my good friend and cover designer, Angela Priest for another good cover; her work is admired by people in the cover industry and it is my honor to work with Angela.
I would also like to thank two great friends Ruth Slattery and Hazel Jackson for the support of my work.
This is a fictional mystery based on my last journey to Scarborough. I have no idea how the rocks got their name, but if anybody does know, both myself and the Scarborough Museum would be greatly interested as the rocks have been named as far back as 1850, beyond that there is no record of the rocks being named or why.
