    About this ebook

    The house has stood for a long time, and the new tenants are just an ordinary couple. Just the same as many others over the years, in the neighbourhoods that grow up in towns and cities everywhere. Who are the other occupants, of the house, who are so interested in the events that are unfolding in front of them? How do they know what is going to happen and how can they try and make a difference?

    Time to commit to the stories - it isn't too late to start writing. I lost confidence in my writing at a very early age, and it has taken a long time to make my way back to a place where I can share these ideas and tales. I hope people like them, but the important thing for me is to just do it. I work full time, managing a team providing technology to support Adults and Children with Learning disabilities - it is a great job and I feel very lucky to get to do something so amazing every day. The writing is for me, and I am glad that I have finally plucked up the courage to take the ideas out of my head and let them see the light of day. .
