Darkness and Decadence: The Grumblings of a Gargoyle (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781512197969)

Lynn Gerrard was born in St Helens, Merseyside where she now lives with her husband Michael and their 5 year old blind and boisterous Jack Russell, Ralph. A serial worrier, Lynn survives mainly on a strict diet of fingernails and chocolate and delights in using misery and mirth as her muse. Lynn found her studies in psychology, psychoanalysis, sociology and criminal law to be most useful in substantiating her obsession with the darker side of the human psyche and much of her writing reflects this. Mostly, Lynn's interests lie in occult philosophy, mythology, parapsychology, archeology, egyptology, humour and pickled onions. As a keen activist for mental health awareness and having performed a stand-up comedy routine in aid of the 'Stand Up To Stigma' campaign, Lynn is in the process of writing a play. The aim of this is to fuse the comedy aspect with the reality behind the laughter, in the hope of helping reduce discrimination attached to mental health issues. This is Lynn's first book in her poetry series for Wallace Publishing
