\n Thorne Moore<\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Thorne<\/a>Genre: <\/strong><\/span>domestic noir. Psychological Crime. Women\u2019s lit. Paranormal.<\/p>\n

Release Date: <\/strong><\/span>14 June 2017<\/p>\n

Publisher:<\/span> <\/strong>Endeavour Press<\/p>\n

Kate Lawrence can sense the shadow of violent death, past and present. In her struggle to cope with her unwelcome gift, she has frozen people out of her life. Her marriage is on the rocks, her career is in chaos and she urgently needs to get a grip.<\/p>\n

So she decides to start again, by joining her effervescent cousin Sylvia and partner Michael in their mission to restore and revitalise Llys y Garn, an old mansion in the wilds of North Pembrokeshire.
\nIt is certainly a new start, as she takes on Sylvia\u2019s grandiose schemes, but it brings Kate to a place that is thick with the shadows of past deaths. The house and grounds are full of mysteries that only she can sense, but she is determined to face them down \u2013 so determined that she fails to notice that ancient energies are not the only shadows threatening the seemingly idyllic world of Llys y Garn.<\/p>\n

The happy equilibrium is disrupted by the arrival of Sylvia\u2019s sadistic and manipulative son, Christian – but just how dangerous is he?
\nThen, once more, Kate senses that a violent death has occurred\u2026
\nSet in the majestic and magical Welsh countryside, Shadows<\/em> is a haunting exploration of the dark side of people and landscape.<\/p>\n

EXTRACT<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Is it haunted, Kate?\u2019 Sylvia clapped her hands, like a child wanting ice-cream. \u2018Oh please, please say there\u2019s a ghost down here.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018There\u2019s a ghost down here.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018No seriously, please tell me. You\u2019d sense one, I know.\u2019<\/p>\n

What the hell. I closed my eyes solemnly. \u2018I detect \u2013 a definite shiver of fear.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Is that all? I was hoping for a white lady. If only we had battlements. I\u2019m sure we\u2019d have had a white lady, walking in the moonlight.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Perhaps we can persuade one to move in.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Yes!\u2019 Sylvia gripped my arm. \u2018A ghost hotel! We could get a licence to serve spirits!\u2019<\/p>\n

We were still laughing as we climbed back to the buttery. To finish, she led me on into the second small room, under the upper chamber.<\/p>\n

As before, a low square room. One tiny window, two doors, stained walls, stone floor, just another empty room. \u2018Not sure what to call this one,\u2019 babbled my cousin. \u2018Think of a good name. The armoury! I wonder if we could get a suit of armour.\u2019 She was already opening the far door, into a panelled arch through deep masonry back into the Great Hall.<\/p>\n

Just a doorway to Sylvia.<\/p>\n

But not to me. Oh God, not to me.<\/p>\n

\u2018Come on,\u2019 she sang. \u2018Where next?\u2019<\/p>\n

I watched her pass through, amazed that she could sense nothing. Rigid in my determination to conquer, I followed her, trying to block out the shadow, to refuse it entry into my brain.<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t. It overwhelmed my defences, enveloping me in a black cloud. Huge atavistic fear, searing thirst, gut-wrenching despair. I could feel the interweaving strands of emotion like filaments of rot, tightening around me, meshing in my lungs, my veins, my bones. How could Sylvia possibly not feel this?<\/p>\n
