    About this ebook

    It was surprising to see an ad in the paper advertising rooms for rent wanting artistic people, but to a band of musicians, it was in one word...perfect. The man appeared "eccentric" and the house was a little creepy, but everything seemed to be working out for them. It wasn't until they heard mysterious tribal drums and found bizarre paintings in one of the "forbidden rooms" that things started to get suspicious. Did they get more than they bargained for?

    On my Twitter mini bio it says "I'm a hugger. Oh ... and I write things." This basically sums me up pretty nicely. I love to write, so I do. Writing, to me, is about sharing and connecting with people. I like to metaphorically reach out and hug people with my words! And as long as I am doing that, I am a happy clam. I hail from Australia, the land down under. (Where women glow and men plunder) More specifically, I am from the western burbs of Sydney. It is a truly magical place, where you can hear the call of sirens through the night and the sunsets are a bright watermelon from all the toxic pollution ... but nah, seriously, I love it here. I have a dog named Roe Roe, a black Lab with perpetually sad eyes that loves to hold my hand while I write. Seriously. You can see more of Roe on my social media. But, about my writing, I don't tend towards any particular genre. So, if you stick with me, hopefully you will be in for some surprises along the way. to quote the great Sylvia Plath - "And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it and the imagination to improvise."

      Blood and Colour

      Lexi knocked on the door of the big house. The group panted harmoniously, the walk up the vast driveway had been a killer; their instrument cases didn’t help either. The holiday house was truly ‘remote’ as it had been advertised. Lexi dropped her guitar case with a huff.

      She felt Lyric’s hand on her back. They had offered to carry it for Lexi, but she had refused.

      The white moonlight poured down on the four as they waited for Jacob, the landlord, to open the door. The scents of wood smoke wafted to them on the night-time breeze. The house before them was draped in eerie, aubergine shadows. Its high, black-shingled roof loomed above in the night sky.

      Ergh … Knock harder, Lexi! complained Trax, as she began to drop pieces of her drum kit. Lyric bent down to pick up the equipment Trax had dropped and Buff hopped nervously from foot to foot.

      I did, Lexi said, but knocked again anyway.

      Maybe this is the wrong place? said Buff.

      Lexi checked the paper in the pocket of her jeans. Her messy scrawl had become nigh unreadable. "No, this is
