SYNOPSIS
What
would you do if you saw a ghost? Would you ignore it hoping it would fade away,
or would you go up to it and see if it needed your help?
When Thirteen year old Megan
Webb discovers she has been gifted with The Glow, so called because it gives
off a light, like a candle in a dimly lit room attracting ghosts, spirits, and
others who belong to the supernatural and paranormal world, she has to learn to
come to terms with seeing the world in a whole new way.
And if this wasn’t enough to
deal with during the delicate years between childhood and adolescence, her
parents makes the shocking decision to move her away from everything and
everyone she knows to live in a creepy hotel inherited by a late aunt.
But it isn’t just the hotel that is creepy, the whole town seems a little odd until she makes friends with a strange boy, a Witch, and a chain-smoking spirit guide who help her adjust. Life couldn’t get any more complicated … could it?

About The Author
Helen
was born in Aldershot in the year of 1980. She survived the infant, junior and
senior schools of Cove. Helen started her working life in a bakery before
deciding catering wasn’t really for her that she wanted to work in the care
industry. After attending Farnborough
College of Technology, where she did her diploma in nursery nursing she took on
a variety of roles that included being a Nursery Nurse, a Special Needs
Teaching assistant, a support worker for people with special need and a care
assistant in a nursing home.
She’s worked as a Health Care
Assistant at a local hospital for eight years and also works as a bank carer at
a children’s hospice in surrey.
She has five wonderful
nephews, a lovely niece, two very understanding parents and extremely patient
brother and sister.
Helen has always loved
stories, ever since her Mum used to read Hans Christian Anderson and Roald Dahl
to her at bedtime. When she learnt to
read by herself she couldn’t get enough of books becoming a big fan of authors
such as Arthur Conan Doyle’s, Sherlock Holmes stories, as well as Neil Gaiman
and Ben Aaronovitch.
With a love of reading came a love of creative
writing. She recalls how her first hit was, “How The Kangaroo Got It’s Hop, at
infant school when I was six, but I missed out on seeing my classmate’s
enjoyment because I was off several weeks with the mumps; when I got back the
hype had died down. A disappointment I’ve never really gotten over! Being able
to share my creations this time and is a dream come true.”
