Yvonne Banham grew up on an island off the coast of Cumbria and spent lots of time huddled on the wild beach with a scary book. When she left school, she couldn't decide whether to be a nurse, an artist, or a writer, so she tried them all but liked writing best. She believes in ghosts though she's never met one, and after five gloriously spooky years in Edinburgh, she now lives in Stirlingshire with her husband and their bold little terrier Bertie. When she's not writing, she's either hiking in the nearby hills or checking out creepy locations in search of new stories.
