The Beast of Biddersley Grange (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781512093865)

Cara Louise started writing stories when she was still at school. She terrorised her younger brother with tales of hooded monks with skulls for a face and was scolded by her mother for scaring him so much that he couldn't sleep at night. As she grew older, Cara Louise began to channel her fascination with ghoulies and ghosties and things that go bump in the night by writing mystery stories for children. She once had a proper job in the library at Southend-on-Sea but spoilt that illusion of respectability by running away to the Isle of Avalon and gained inspiration for her stories by sitting on the Glastonbury leylines and communing with the Earth Spirit. Here she published her first book The Boy From The Hills and wrote Annie and the Dragon in her bedroom by a window which framed Glastonbury Tor. Cara later studied for her BA in Writing and English at the Alsager campus of Manchester Metropolitan University and her bedroom overlooked another Hill of Power, Mow Cop in Staffordshire, which along with the nearby mysterious mansion of Biddulph Grange, served as inspiration for The Beast of Biddersley Grange Trilogy. Cara Louise has also travelled extensively and gained an MA in Writing For Children from King Alfred's College, Winchester. She has won 2nd prizes in Writing for Children and First Three Pages of a Novel at the Annual Writers' Conference, Winchester for her archaeological thriller, BETRAYED. She has lived in darkest Borneo, near the misty islands of the pirate-infested Celebes Sea, has travelled across the snow covered land of Austria and the sandy deserts of Arabia. Her unfortunate younger brother still sleeps with the light on.
