The Assembly Room
The ghosts of The Assembly Room have been waiting for someone to unlock their secrets, and Merryn Stearne has arrived.
For 14 year old Merryn, the future should have been perfect – a new home in the idyllic Suffolk countryside and romance with the gorgeous boy next door, Jamie. If only the past would stop interfering with the present. Dreams of medieval witchcraft trials become terrifyingly real and Merryn realises there is a mystery to be solved. With Jamie's help, she uncovers the truth about her ancestor's role in the Suffolk witch hunts of 1645.
But can they stop the curse that threatens to ruin the Stearne family once again, or are the forces of the past too strong?

The Story Behind This Book
For years I've passed an old creepy looking building that sits off the roadside on the way to visit my mother in the village of Hitcham, Suffolk. Everytime I went by it I always got the feeling the place could have some kind of story to tell. In any case I let my imagination run wild and combined this my creative side to come up with the novel. I have always been fascinated with ghosts, the paranormal and the local history on my door step. The result was the 'The Assembly Room'. I hope readers enjoy the story which is 'simply out of this world!'
