\"Secret
\nBlurb<\/h2>\n

Book One from the series ‘Ghostly Tales From The Therapist’s Couch.’<\/p>\n

Thomas is a well-renowned medium who often helps out Scotland Yard with their cold cases.<\/p>\n

Joe, a reporter, trusted with a dangerous secret, flees to Scotland after his friend is murdered. Under police protection, he is pursued by the same hired assassin who is willing to do anything to prevent the Government\u2019s secret from being revealed.<\/p>\n

With this case weighing heavily on his thoughts, Thomas pays a visit to his friend and therapist, Ian Baker, for another session on this therapist\u2019s couch!<\/p>\n

\"Secret<\/h2>\n

My Review<\/h2>\n
Every now and then, I like to change things up a bit, and this short story fits the bill.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thomas, a medium, takes us through a case he envisioned via a connection with a reporter from the past. He also takes his hypnotherapist along on this journey with a touch of his hand.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The story was fast-paced and kept me turning the virtual pages. I look forward to more in this series of Ghostly Tales from the Therapist\u2019s Couch.<\/div>\n

About the Author<\/h2>\n

\"Secret I was born in 1969 in Sidcup, Kent. My father was a Chief Inspector in the Metropolitan police and my mother was a housewife. I grew up and went to school in Bexley, Kent. My love of writing started from a young age as I was always reading and had a creative mind. Teachers were impressed with my writing and moved me up to higher English groups. My writing was exhibited to the school. I am married to a teacher and have one son. I was a highly qualified independent driving instructor for 15 years. During this time, I studied hypnotherapy. I have always been writing stories and poetry for pleasure but over the past 6 years I took up writing in earnest in the hope of achieving publication which has always been my ambition. I draw inspiration from the people in my life and some of my own personal experiences.<\/p>\n
