For various reasons, I wasn't able to write at all during the coronavirus lockdown period. This seems to have been the case for other writers I've spoken too, although some managed to knock out whole novels but we won't talk about those people. Luckily, just before the whole shitstorm started back in February, I managed to crank out a story called 'Silver Maples'. The story was influenced by a ghoulish interest I had in the drowning of Hollywood icon Natalie Wood, a recurring bad dream a friend of mine had and was foolish enough to tell me about, and my general interest in conspiracy theories, secret sects, and cover ups. The story revolves around a journalist investigating the mysteries surrounding a derelict lakeside holiday resort.
Silver Maples has just been published in the Scare Street anthology 'Night Terrors #3', which is available now.
