Promoting Ghost Encounters: The Lingering Spirits of North Devon

Everyone has favourite authors and favourite books. Isn’t it wonderful when they come together? And that’s what is happening today. My first encounter with Helen Hollick was as an historical fiction writer at the Historical Novel Society whose conference I attended in Denver, Colorado, a number of years ago. Helen was there from England and I learned all about her prowess as a writer. Next I realized that she was the person to apply to with my first two historicals about the Loyalists. I did. She and her team accepted them and my writing was on the HNS online list of book reviews.

This amazing writer moved to Devon and continued to write and publish, all the while through her newsletters keeping her readers enthralled with her journey. Along the way Helen told wonderful bits about her horse-loving daughter so, to me, this new book which carries Kathy Hollick’s name as part of the byline was inevitable.

Thanks to both Helen and Kathy for this book which is coming out soon. I’ll be purchasing a copy through the link below for sure.

Promoting Ghost Encounters: The Lingering Spirits of North Devon

By Helen Hollick (With daughter Kathy Hollick)

Everyone assumes that ghosts are hostile. Actually, most of them are not.

You either believe in ghosts or you don’t. It depends on whether you’ve encountered something supernatural or not. But when you share a home with several companionable spirits, or discover benign ghosts in public places who appear as real as any living person, scepticism is abandoned. In GHOST ENCOUNTERS: The Lingering Spirits Of North Devon, mother and daughter share their personal experiences, dispelling the belief that spirits are to be feared.

Ghost Encounters will fascinate all who enjoy the beautiful region of rural South-West England, as well as interest those who wish to discover more about its history… and a few of its ghosts.

(Includes a bonus of two short stories and photographs connected to North Devon)

ABOUT HELEN and KATHY

Known for her captivating storytelling and rich attention to historical detail, Helen might not see ghosts herself, but her nautical adventure series, and some of her short stories, skilfully blend the past with the supernatural, inviting readers to step into worlds where the boundaries between the living and the dead blur. Her historical fiction spans a variety of periods and her gift lies in her ability to bring historical figures and settings to life, creating an immersive experience that transports readers into the past. Her stories are as compelling as they are convincing. She is a USA Today best-seller, and also writes the Jan Christopher cosy mystery series set during the 1970s, and based around her years of working as a library assistant.

Helen and her family moved from London to Devon, England, in 2013 – you might have spotted her and Kathy on repeats of BBC TV’s Escape To The Country.

When not encountering friendly ghosts, Kathy’s passion is horses. She started riding at the age of three, had a pony at thirteen, and discovered showjumping soon after. Kathy now runs her own Taw River Equine Events, and coaches riders of any age or experience, specialising in positive mindset and overcoming confidence issues.

Kathy lives with her farmer partner, Andrew, in their flat adjoining the main Devon farmhouse. She regularly competes at affiliated British Showjumping, and rides side-saddle (‘aside’) when she has the opportunity. She produces her own horses, several from home-bred foals. She also has a fun diploma in Dragons and Dragon Energy, which was something amusing to study during the Covid lockdown.
