The True History Of The Mud Man

Hush..Can you hear him?
The trees can. They are the first to know that he is coming.
Listen! The trees of the deep, dark woods, shivering and jittering their leaves like papery hulls of beatin silver; the sly wind, snaking through their tops, whispering that soon it will begin.
The trees know, for they are old and they have seen it all before.


Edie is an only child of respectable if dull parents who, when she was growing up, did little to nurture her natural love of words or mystery.

A haunting tale of long - buried secrets, the origins of a classic children's book, the vagaries of war, and the twists of fate that can bring people together or crush their hopes forever.

Gothic fiction, spinning an intricate web of mystery and suspense that will stay with you long after the last page is turned.


I love finding new writers and ones that are not from the States. Love all of her books and have them in my personal library.
