22 Mar 2025 - I've been managing a heritage project for the Folklore Library & Archive (reg. charity no 1203418) over the past few months, creating a new archive of "hidden" heritage, primarily by recording people's memories of their time working or travelling on Devon's railways. Join me at Crediton Library, Belle Parade, Crediton, 4pm-9pm, as the charity launches its new archive at a celebratory gala event to showcase not only the wonderful contributions we've received, but also the work we undertook to create the archive. Part of Railway200, you will be able to find full details of the event on their website here.

8 Apr 2025 - Zoinks! The Spooky Folklore Behind Scooby Doo at Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies, London. I assist my husband Mark, the author of Zoinks!, with the show he has created for his intriguing, informative and fun study of the real life folklore on which the creators of Scooby Doo have drawn over the decades in order to bring us the stories and characters we know and love. Book your ticket for Zoinks! here  and check out the book via The Folklore Podcast website (where you can also obtain signed copies of my works Dark Folklore, Who Is Anna Stenberg? and Cards, Cocoa and Charms - Devon's Forgotten Witches) here .

I'm delighted to announce that my new book, Who Is Anna Stenberg? was published today. There is a book launch on Friday 3rd November 2023 at 8pm, as part of this year's Armadacon, a for-fans, by-fans scifi and fandom convention in Plymouth. Join me at Futures Inn, 1 William Prance Road, Plymouth, PL6 5ZD for a chance to hear me talking about my inspiration for the book, the research I undertook for it and hear some passages from the early chapters (no spoilers!)

I'm delighted to announce that the Exeter Authors Association's excellent Crime in the Countryside event is back for 2020. This year, thanks to COVID-19, we are moving it online, but that does have the advantage of being able to enjoy our talks from the comfort of your own home, no matter where you are!

I'm going to be looking at some real-life vampire cases on Sunday 6th September at 2pm - and check out the range of subjects being covered over the two days!

Tickets are just £5 for the entire event - join as many or as few sessions as you like.
